Forget the winter crowds, the Snowy Mountains hold a hidden beauty during sun-drenched autumns. Nestled amongst 13 acres of pristine bushland, just 10 minutes from Jindabyne, lies Crafters Luxury Eco Accommodation: a haven for peace, adventure, and eco-conscious indulgence.
Our February escape began with a hushed awe as we approached the stunning stone-clad cabin. Crafters isn't just a place, it's an experience, woven with meticulous details. From the sustainable, locally sourced materials to the handcrafted accents and artisan-made treasures (available for purchase!), it's an eco-traveler's dream come true.
But the luxury doesn't stop there. Sink into buttery linen sheets on a comfy king-size bed, let the spa-quality bath products pamper you, and admire the star-studded sky through perfectly positioned windows.
Beyond the cabin walls, adventure awaits. We tackled the challenging yet rewarding 4-hour Thredbo to Mt Kosciuszko Walk, kayaked across the mirror-still Lake Jindabyne, and even rode the thrilling Alpine Bobsled in Thredbo. Craving a slower pace? Explore the many trails on mountain bikes (rentable locally) or simply relax with a picnic by the lake.
Culinary delights abound too. Savor a delicious breakfast at Birchwood, brunch at Bebita, or a romantic dinner at Pinot's Wine Bar. Venture further for hearty pub meals at Jindabyne Brewing or Wildbrumby Distillery, or a taste of Japan at Takayama.
But the true magic lies within Crafters itself. Imagine unwinding in your personal woodfired hot tub under a canopy of stars, listening to the gentle hum of nature. Picture cozy evenings by the crackling fireplace, enjoying a home-cooked meal in the fully equipped kitchen.
This is more than just a weekend getaway; it's a sensory escape. We left feeling rejuvenated, connected to nature, and with memories that will linger long after 2024 fades away.
Shhh, keep this secret hidden gem to yourself for a little while longer! But be warned, Crafters might just become your go-to escape for any occasion – celebration, anniversary, or simply a much-needed reset.
