one of the best resorts we have had the opportunity to stay in is the novotel lake crackenback resort in the snowy mountains of new south wales. it is one of the most beautiful resorts.
nestled in the magnificent snowy mountains high country and on the tranquil shores of lake crackenback, the resort allowed us to relax in style. the chalet that we stayed in was a 2-storey unit with 3 bedrooms and 3 toilets. it was truly self-contained with a washing machine, a drier, a microwave oven, a toaster, a dish-washing machine, a fire-place, heaters and a jacuzzi, among other things.
the place was cold, even in summer. a pair of kangaroos came right up to our unit in the evening. although, we stayed one night only, it was enough to fill us with wonderful memories and to leave a lasting impression on us.
it happened in 1995 when we were on a 19-day self-drive trip from sydney to melbourne. we started on the princes highway, stopping overnight at the tugalong outback station. the next day, we hit the hume higway to head for a one-day stay in canberra. from canberra, we travelled on the monaro highway to cooma. after cooma, it was the alpine highway to lake crackenback.
most australians go the snowy mountains in winter, to the nearby ski resort at thredbo. so, without the crowds, we really got to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the place.
