NSW

Crackenback Stables Picture this: 40 hectares of pristine Snowy Mountains countryside, with snow-capped peaks glistening beyond the gum trees and kangaroos, horses, wombats and deer ambling through the paddocks. Capturing that spectacular scenery is Crackenback Stables, award-winning accommodation designed by Casey Brown Architecture. 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!).
