Do not book this property
This is a warning. Do not deal with these people. Terse due to character limit. Property would be passable if maintained. It was not. Found broken furniture, no information booklet, no working fire alarm. Could be worked through, but: The real problem is the owners are deceptive, muck you about, & then keep the money. Listing included a spa (I have screen captures). It does not have this. Asking what should be done about the fire alarms & missing spa, they disavowed the listing, & in the ~15 minutes between asking the question & getting a response, the listing was changed to remove the spa. To attempt to gaslight one so severely is intolerable. Immediately asked for a refund & found other last-minute accommodation. Following up on refund, they insisted that involved raising the issue with Stayz, not them. Nothing on the website indicates that this is correct. So my time & the time of Stayz support was wasted confirming they had mislead again. At the last, owners claim to have done all that they could by fixing the fire alarms, rest is all some malfunction of Stayz, & don’t see any reason for refund. I have the screen-captures, messages, & photos to support what I say. If the owner responds about how this is all a mistake of their agent mis-listing the property, an insane coincidence that the listing was updated just after it came under scrutiny, & nothing to do with them, simply ask yourself – even if that was so, then why should I wear it & they keep all the money?

This was our second stay so we obviously love it. The unit is in the perfect location nothing fancy but everything you need is there. Unfortunately we could not stay as we planned due to the fires. Such a shame we were looking forward to face a good time.

Great location and views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved how we could walk into town to go shopping and have dinner. The townhouse had great views and was well stocked with all necessities. Everything was clean and well maintained with heaters in every room. Only a 25 min drive to Perisher made it a top weekend.

Comfortable family home, fantastic location by the lake
Fabulous access to Lake Jindabyne from the house, much appreciated during summer heatwave! For summer, blinds or curtains on the kitchen window would have helped to keep the heat down, but otherwise the apartment is extremely comfortable for a family. Beautiful renovated bathroom with enormous skylight and lots of towel hooks. Lots of books and games that we didn't have time to enjoy, but I imagine in winter it would also be a cosy retreat. Great value accommodation!

delightful family holiday
We stayed here Jan 2016 (this website hasn't caught up with the new year yet - I can only enter the year as 2105!). We were very comfortable at Alaskas retreat for our family holiday. We had hot and cold weather and the house was comfy through both. Convenient and quiet spot with a beautiful view, well equipped kitchen, easy access to lake and short walk to shops and amenities. It was easy to communicate with Kerryn. We found the home to be clean and well maintained. Comfy beds. If you're travelling with very young kids be aware that the top bunk doesn't have a safety rail or easy to climb ladder. It was perfectly fine for our 11 year old but might not be great if you were counting on that top bunk to be used by a younger child.

Great house, great location!
Kerryn was very helpful with everything. The house was clean and had loads of space. Would defiantly recommend staying here. It's a different vibe in the summer but sitting by the lake watching the sunset was just perfect. Thanks for the stay Kerryn.
