The climb [coming from the south] into the Snowy Mountains was again a touch eerie with the dead trees of prior forest fires leaving large patches of ghostly silvery tree stands on the mountains. At Dead Horse Gap there where simply 1000’s of these ghost trees. Thredbo Village is the main Snowy’s ski town and very pleasant too. The information centre here gave great info as did many others and would recommend stopping at info centres en route for advice and free maps etc. Having lingered a little too long en route despite taking the cable car to within 5km of the summit of Australia’s highest mountain – Mt Kosciusko – it was too late to make the final 2km to the summit and back in time. The mountains were pristine and great views over the surrounding mountains made the climb worthwhile.

Off the mountain and a couple of round trips on the chair lift for my sons delight we stayed in quant Jindabyne overnight (Jindy Inn – really friendly and lovely views over the lake). An evening stroll around the lakeshore then to sample to the locally brewed Kozzi Beer – the best I found in Aus!!

The couple who own/run this hotel are really friendly and happy to share very good/useful info - for thoe travlling with kids would recomend and its very quiet too.

My husband and I have just spent 2 nights here and whilst I agree with the other reviews that the room is clean and comfortable and the view from the balcony looking over the lake is very nice, none of the reviews mentioned that the balcony also overlooks the main road. The traffic noise makes sitting on the balcony unpleasant. There is no aircon so the windows would need to be open in summer (we had 2 cold nights fortunately). i would probably not have booked here if I had known this.
However, the guest kitchen is very useful and the room is large enough to have a small table to eat at it if you want to make your own meals. There is no breakfast provided in summer.
The place is dated in a nice way and reminds me of a 70s guest house. If you are looking for a cheap, comfortable base in Jindabyne and are not bothered by traffic noise, then I recommend it. The owners are also very friendly and pleasant.

I stayed here with my two adult daughters last week and it was perfectly satisfactory. It is "motel" style accommodation - nothing flash, but the beds were very comfortable (probably the best feature, in fact). We had a room on the top floor and had a nice view of the lake. There is a main road below but the traffic wasn't intense, so this was fine. The service was very good, the lady on reception was friendly and accommodating. Decent for motel type accommodation and locating a short walk from downtown Jindabyne.

Husband and I stayed for two nights here and it is exactly as the reviews indicated. Professional welcoming staff and beautifully clean, comfortable room. In summer the private balcony was great to sit and enjoy the lovely view of Lake Jindabyne. The Jindy is well positioned to walk to shops. If you are not worried about the decor being a little dated this is a fantastic spot to stay.
