We did not stay here. We used their horse riding. We found them to be friendly, efficient and responsive to any concerns we had. All four of us had a great time with Alexis, our trail riding guide. She really knew horses and was great with us beginners. The kids convinced us to go back for another ride two days later. This was our first summer visit to Jindabyne. We will definitely remember this place and have another trail ride, on our next skiing trip if the snow is no good.

We stayed in Swagman’s Rest 'The Barn'. This was a most regrettable choice of accommodation. Lots of what they claim to offer is not true. See separate review.

We were lucky i was looking out of the car window on the way to jindabyne or we would have missed it, it is preety far out of the way from jindabyne, we called at 4 to say we would be late checking in (the check in is at 3) but the office was closed even though they state the office is open till 5.30 pm, no one answered the phone we left multiple messages, noone returned them, we arrived there at 520pm the office was cosed we had to wait 20 mins in the freezing cold for someone to show up and give us our keys, the long drive way to the office then from the office to the lodge was rough unfinished and horrible for you tyres with large sharp rocks all over it, the lodge itself was locked fortunatly our room key opened the front door, the inside including the room was freezing even with the 2 small oil heaters that were provided, the shower head was broken with a zip tie around it that i nearly put my eye out with, the water pressure was crap i froze in my 2 min shower, the kitchen had blunt knives yu couldnt cut butter with, and the other equpiment was cheap and hardley useable, on our second night i was woken at 11pm by a man bashing on my window and yelling that the door was locked and there was no reason for it to be locked, he informed us after 5mins of yelling at us he worked there and had to drop a room key off, (all the room keys open the front door) (so he could have used it to get in) there was no sign to say not to lock the door and as it was locked when we got there we assumed it was ment to be locked, also there website says they have a snowgear drying room they do not and if they do there is no signage indicating it, there bistro is only open on weekends lucky we didnt order there breakfast and dinner packages before hand, they have plently of signs around telling you what to do and saying you will be charged extra for things overall we found there service rude the rooms cold and the hotel/lodge subpar DO NOT STAY HERE
