As an Australian, if you are
planning a ski trip, there are just options for you – Thredbo and Perisher
valley in the Snowy
Mountains. Ski holidays
tend to be expensive if you plan to stay at a lodge located in the Snowy Mountains.
An economical option would be to find accommodation in Jindabyne itself.
Jindabyne is about 3 hours away
from the Canberra
airport. This airport is in fact the most accessible if you wish to head
towards Snowy Mountains. Jindabyne is located right
before Snowy Mountains and thus is the last town outside
of the ski area. If you plan to ski at both Thredbo and Perisher, Jindabyne is
the ideal location to stay. Both Thredbo and Perisher are just about 30 – 40
minutes away from Jindabyne. This short distance comes in handy when the
weather conditions are bad.
Jindabyne does not have any
skiing facilities, but there are several other advantages of opting for Jindabyne budget hotels. Not only is the accommodation
cheaper at Jindabyne but also other facilities like restaurants, cafes, bars
and skiing equipment are priced reasonably.
Since Jindabyne lodge now
is a popular tourist location, you will be able to choose from a variety of
accommodation facilities. Most of these hotels and lodges have competitive
pricing and offer great packages as well. You should checkout different
packages before you settle down for a particular deal. A word of caution – each
deal will be associated with a particular hotel. The deal may seem good to you,
but before you make the payment for it, check the hotel’s website to get a
better idea of what type of budget hotel or lodge it is. Basic amenities can
differ from one place to another. That’s not all. The meals included and the variety
of food available at each meal also differs vastly.
Moreover, some properties are
old and may not be kept well. Check for reviews online to understand what
experiences did other guests have at that particular property. Also, the view
from the hotel is also an important aspect. If you can find a hotel that
overlooks the lake and the mountains, then you definitely have a good deal.
