First time at this ski resort (Aug 12) and booked to stay again in Aug 13. Basic accommodation but huge rooms and a tidy shower room. Free parking. Food was excellent... We did the self cook, buffet dinner in the bar area which was awesome value. Breakfast buffet was always busy but the quest go down quick and well worth... More

We had been to New Zealand the year before and found the travel up and down the mountain to be very challenging and time consuming. So this year, when deciding on Perisher we wanted something that would avoid the long trips up and down the mountain. Ski Rider is located in the national park and is an easy 10 mins... More

We usually stay in jindy as a boys trip for a couple of days a year in the peak of winter. We book this place to try something different and we were surprised at how friendly all the staff were and how good the food was! We had the Friday night cook your own, then bistro for the other night.... More

Basic but comfortable accomodation. On-snow but not ski-in/ski-out, it's a quick 10-15min drive to Perisher launch site. Good option for those on a tighter budget but who still want to maximize snow time by being on the mountain. It is inside the National Park, so you will still have to pay entry fees per vehicle ($24 per day), but this... More

We were a group of four (22 - 15) and it suited us well. You get your own room and tiny bathroom as well as access to the main house with 2 restaurants. The 3 courses are ok if you're into the buffet thing, though I was rather disappointed that there were limited to no fruit options at breakfast (by... More

This is fairly basic accommodation. No tv or fridge in room but the. It's pretty short drive to the snow fields. Grandmas floral sheets from 1970. Friendly staff and helpful manager. Restaurant bar/grill has s good atmosphere. Set menu restaurant is ok. Shuttle bus can take you to ski and bring you back and these run really regularly.

The Ski Rider Hotel is a basic no-frills hotel that is almost on-snow. A regular 10 minute shuttle bus takes you to up to Perisher or Smiggins and gets you back to a no-frills room that's clean warm and serves the purpose of allowing you to rest and recharge before heading back up the mountain for another day in the...

Took a long weekend bus ski trip. Price was reasonable, but doesn't live up to their web site claims. Food was like other reviews indicated - rubber and cardboard - yesterdays reheated pizza and speer gun rubbers for pasta. Entertainment definately not for the under 30's, might be okay if you want to eat and sleep - good for small... More
