We stayed there last year when the kids gave us a couple of nights. Loved it so much we came back again this year for another treat (this time we paid for ourselves!). We love the lake and the walks along the river.

Alpine Awesomeness!
This place is awesome - we were treated like family by the staff! We felt like we were locals and were given all the inside info on where to eat, local rates for hire and deals on tours. Harro's ski hire gave excellent advise and support for us as beginner skiers and helped us make good decisions on whereceas best fir weather and snow each day - even with all our questions we always felt like a valued guest - not a hassle to them at all. Alex at the Larder makes the best coffee in the region - even if you don't stay here - pop in for s coffee here! This holiday was booked for our twenty fifth wedding anniversary - but it will now be our annual holiday spot! excellent work Team Crakenback!

Beautiful place to Stay, Relax and even Propose!
My now fiancé and I stayed at Lake Crackenback, it was just breath taking from the moment you first get there. I proposed to my now fiancé on the balcony overlooking the lake. We had relaxing hot stone massages in the spa at the resort and enjoyed the views from our room. Great place to stay and will definitely be back again.

A beautiful spot for a getaway.
We had a wonderful, quiet and relaxing stay. We were out of season and out of school holidays, so it was very quiet, although there is plenty for more active visitors to do. Our very comfortable and spacious apartment was on the lake (the balcony was suspended above the water) from which we had changing but always beautiful views. We were glad of the many heaters provided and I am sure that in winter the wood fire would be most welcome. The major restaurant was closed the nights we were there which was a pity as they offer several tasty-sounding g-f dishes. The Alpine Larder served us a tasty breakfast.

A retreat haven
We were a group of six. Two 3 bed self care apartments. Three nightsspent there. Beautiful lake side situation. Wild life aplenty. All in all a place to which one would return. We drove for 11 hours each wayto come and go. Worth the effort.

Fantastic for families!
Our stay at the Lake Crackenback Resort was fantastic! The apartments are spacious, comfortable and positioned on Lake Crackenback itself. My children and I enjoyed the amazing water sports on offer- kayaks, canoe's and paddleboards. We enjoyed the many bush walks surrounding the resort, especially the paved path around the lake itself, this was spectacular, and easy for the children. What a beautiful place! We cant wait to return. My only complaint was that I felt the staff at the few restaurants/cafe's were really aloof and unfriendly - as the apartments are self catering - I would skip the cafe's all together next time and cook myself.
