Minor Hotels has acquired a 110-key resort at Thredbo Valley in the Snowy Mountains, which it has repositioned under its Oaks brand.
Located on the fringe of Kosciuszko National Park, 15 minutes from Thredbo Village and the popular ski fields of Thredbo and Perisher, Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort caters to nature enthusiasts, families and snow sports travellers with on-site outdoor activities including golf, archery, tennis, kayaking, canoeing, trampolining, trail running, hiking, fishing and mountain biking.
“The stunning Snowy Mountains is a spectacular destination to explore all year round, and with travellers increasingly keen on domestic travel in the current climate, we are excited to add this unique property to our expanding portfolio,” said Minor Hotels Australasia Chief Operating Officer, Craig Hooley.
“This resort positions us well to tap into rising demand for wellness and experience-based travel, striking an ideal balance between scenery, relaxation, self-care and outdoor activities.”
The property also includes several spaces for meeting and events, an indoor heated pool, sauna, gymnasium, an independently-operated Spa and Wellness Centre, and two dining venues.
Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort will also deliver on the recently announced vision for the repositioned Oaks.
“We are excited to work with local partners to bring our new service and brand hallmarks to life,” Hooley added.
“Following the ski season, we’ll be introducing an integrated lobby space where guests and locals can cosy-up with a barista-made coffee and enjoy freshly baked goods or an iconic Oaks lamington.
“A grab-and-go pantry will also be stocked with local produce and travel essentials for a day exploring the Snowy Mountains.”
The accommodation offering includes a mix of studios, apartments, villas and chalets, including three-bedroom options, with many offering outdoor dining, fireplaces, spacious living areas and mountain and lake views.
The Thredbo resort is the latest property to join the Oaks Hotels, Resorts and Suites portfolio with 2025 additions including Oaks Melbourne St Kilda Road Hotel, Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites, Avani Melbourne Jazz Corner Residences, Oaks Geelong Suites, Oaks Geelong Vue Suites, and Queen’s Wharf Residences in Brisbane.
