Southern
Cross – A Spectacular Place for a Holiday in
Australia's High Country
Whilst Southern Cross
is a spectacular place to visit during winter and
spring, we have much to offer guests throughout
the whole year. Why not explore the surrounding
mountains, rivers and lakes within the magnificent
high country of Kosciuszko National Park? Go bushwalking,
mountain bike riding, water skiing, horse riding,
have a picnic or play a round of golf. The neighbouring
village of Jindabyne has a variety of great restaurants,
cafes, craft shops and art galleries for guests
to enjoy. Or at any time of the year, simply relax
with a book. The choice is yours.
The lodge is in excellent condition, with two living
areas and two large balconies, commanding spectacular
views of the valley. We provide married, family
and separate male and female accommodation in 8
guest bedrooms (which have from 2 to 6 beds) sharing
4 bathrooms. Following recent negotiations with
NPWS, our bed numbers have been increased to 25
people including our 3 managers. The living areas
are centrally heated which makes for a relaxed and
cosy atmosphere.
During much
of the winter/spring snow season, you can ski
or board directly to & from your door at Smiggins
with interconnecting ski lifts to Perisher, Blue
Cow & Guthega. Finish breakfast at 8.20 am
and be on the slopes at 8.30 am. Ski in for morning
tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Have a late ski
after the day crowds have thinned. We have great
fellowship, including short devotions at breakfast
and Bible discussions most evenings. After dinner
and washing up, play games, sit around and talk
or have an early night. Saturday and Tuesday there
is usually Night Skiing at Perisher and Wednesday
is usually Smiggins children’s free night
skiing and fireworks (weather permitting).
Three meals
a day hospitality (from dinner on first
day till lunch on last day) is provided during
the winter/spring snow season, and Easter/autumn
holidays, by managers on site. During other periods
Southern Cross is available to approved small
groups either catered or self-catered.
