Jindabyne, NSW 2627

Jindabyne is the closest town to the ski fields of Perisher Blue and Thredbo and is thus very popular for people to stay there when on a skiing holiday. Given that, it is a very up market place and is much more expensive than the other towns like Berridale or Cooma. There are plenty of ski hire shops here, and again you will have to pay Jindabyne prices as compared to Cooma or Berridale, roughly 10 -15% more. There are a few restaurants and pubs and also a beautiful view of the lake so there is value for money when staying here. With the snowfields only half an hour away, it looks like Jindabyne will always be a busy town during skiing season. During the summer months, Jindabyne is known for trout fishing and bush walking.
