Ideal for a couple or group of four, the two-bedroom, self-contained accommodation is cleverly positioned above working stables and features luxuries such as under-floor heating, large windows to maximise the vista, and a crackling fire pit (BYO wine and marshmallows!). Close to Jindabyne and popular ski fields, and surrounded by bushwalking trails, it’s the ideal spot for a cosy getaway or action-packed escape. Book your stay at Crackenback Stables via Airbnb.
