Minor Hotels acquires Thredbo resort

Minor Hotels has announced the acquisition of a popular resort with extensive meetings and events spaces in the NSW Snowy Mountains.

The company has taken over the 110-room Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort in Thredbo Valley.

Located just 15 minutes from Thredbo and Perisher ski fields, the resort offers a mountain escape on the fringe of Kosciuszko National Park.

This latest addition to the Oaks Hotels, Resorts & Suites portfolio emphasises Minor Hotels’ commitment to growth in Australasia.

Minor Hotels has welcomed six properties in 2025: 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.

“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,” says Craig Hooley, chief operating officer, Minor Hotels Australasia.

“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.

“As a true lifestyle property, Oaks Lake Crackenback Resort will also deliver on our 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.”

The resort features several spaces for meetings and events, offering picturesque views for small-scale and large-scale business events, as well as private functions and weddings.

Guests can choose from 110 studios, apartments, villas and chalets – with many offering alpine views of mountains and lakes – and enjoy access to an indoor heated pool, sauna, gymnasium, a dedicated spa and wellness centre, and two dining venues.

The property also features onsite outdoor activities including golf, archery, tennis, kayaking, canoeing, trampolining, trail running, hiking, fishing and mountain biking.
