Thredbo Accommodation

Thredbo offers a good range of lodging options. Unlike Perisher that predominantly consists of ski lodges, Thredbo accommodation also includes hotels, apartments and houses. There is even a hostel, although most of the accommodation at Thredbo comes with a very deluxe price tag for the privilege of staying on-mountain.

Thredbo Accommodation Listings

There are three main zones for accommodation.

Thredbo Village is the central village that is the heartbeat of the town, and it has shops, restaurant and bars. None of the accommodation here is ski-in ski-out, as the Thredbo River and a road separate the village from the ski slopes at Valley Terminal where intermediate and above riders can access two chairlifts and the gondola.

The Thredbo Alpine Hotel is the closest Thredbo accommodation to the slopes. It’s one of the original hotels and offers rooms that are ideal for 2 to 3 guests. The hotel sometimes hosts some big après ski events.

Otherwise most of the Thredbo Village lodging is a short walk or shuttle ride away from the ski resort.

Woodridge near Friday Flat is a good spot to stay for beginners, those who want ski or snowboard lessons, and those who need childcare (when it’s operational). The River Inn is popular because it is uniquely ski in ski out to the Friday Flat area. This zone also has various apartments and is close to the Thredbo Leisure Centre. A potential con is that there are negligible dining or drinking options in this zone.

The Crackenback Ridge area near the Thredbo golf course has some privately owned grand chalets, a few of which are ski-in ski-out.

Lake Crackenback

Lake Crackenback Resort is 16.5km to the northeast of Thredbo. Lake Crackenback is also well positioned to visit Perisher because the SkiTube station is next to the resort, and very regular shuttles are provided between the SkiTube and the resort.

The resort sits on a lovely piece of picturesque land overlooking the Snowy Mountains, with the lake being the centrepiece. The resort offers lots of activities such as a day spa, gym, sauna, swimming pool, bush walking, par 3 golf course, and archery, so there’s plenty to do if you want some time off from skiing or snowboarding.

Lake Crackenback provides luxury studios, apartments and chalets. More information on Lake Crackenback here.

Jindabyne Accommodation

The other option is to stay off-mountain in Jindabyne accommodation. The town of Jindabyne overlooks the picturesque Lake Jindabyne and is 34km east of Thredbo (about a 30 minute drive). It offers the advantage of slightly more affordable accommodation and the flexibility to also ski Perisher. Accommodation types include hotels, motels, cottages and apartments.

The Alpine Resort Motel offers a range of rooms, studios for up to 5 adults, and 2 bedroom apartments.

Camping

Camping seems to be growing in popularity, in part due to the sky rocketing of prices and demand associated with Thredbo accommodation. There is free camping at Thredbo Diggings and Ngarigo on the Alpine Way between the national park entrance and Thredbo. You have to book a spot and it’s often booked out in peak times.

Otherwise there are caravan parks in Jindabyne, and you could be amazed that they’re also often booked out and it costs a motza for a site.
