Minor Hotels has announced the acquisition of Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort, situated in the heart of the Thredbo Valley within the Snowy Mountains and just 15 minutes from the popular ski areas of Thredbo and Perisher.
“The stunning Snowy Mountains is a spectacular destination to explore all year round, and with travelers increasingly keen on domestic travel in the current climate, we are excited to add this unique property to our expanding portfolio,” said Craig Hooley, Chief Operating Officer for Minor Hotels Australasia. “This resort positions us well to tap into rising demand for wellness and experience-based travel, striking an ideal balance between scenery, relaxation, self-care, and outdoor activities.”
A destination for nature, wellness and adventure
Tailored for experience-driven travelers, the luxury resort features a wide range of on-site outdoor activities such as golf, archery, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, and more, promoting connection with nature and wellbeing.
The resort’s Harro’s Centre provides year-round equipment hire—including skis, snowboards, and mountain bikes. Additional amenities include an indoor heated pool, sauna, gym, a dedicated Spa and Wellness Centre, and two dining venues.
Accommodation options span 110 studios, apartments, villas, and chalets, many offering fireplaces, outdoor dining, and mountain or lake views. The resort also hosts meetings and events with scenic venues for corporate or private functions.
Now part of Oaks Hotels, Resorts & Suites, this addition reflects Minor Hotels’ continued growth in Australasia, following six new property launches in 2025.
