Important Information for Visitors
Your apartment will come with linen, toiletries, tea/coffee starter packs and all the kitchen utensils you will need. There is a supermarket in Thredbo but if you are arriving late it may be best to stock up on provisions at the Woolworths supermarkets in Cooma or Jindabyne or have your first breakfast in one of the many cafes. We have an extensive DVD library of over 300 titles – covering Children’s, Classics, Academy Award winners, Grown up movies and more. We also have a CD library and board games. Internet access is available for all our apartments – free access to weather, snow reports, ski cams and the Sydney Morning Herald and the first 100Mb of downloads are also free for weekly guests. Ski gear is obvious for winter but please don’t forget goggles; beanies; neck warmers and of course, wrist guards for snow boarders. Warm clothing is essential all through the year as even summer nights can be chilly. Other summer essentials are hats; insect repellent and walking boots. If you plan any activities we recommend you bring your swimmers, tennis gear and so on. There is heaps to do in summer so come and surprise yourself! Complimentary sporting equipment for summer – bicycles & helmets; tennis racquets & tennis balls and fly fishing kits are all available on a complimentary basis for our apartments. The bottle shop selections can be limited in summer so you may wish to bring your own wine.
From Sydney drive to Canberra airport via Majura Road to join the Monaro Highway then Cooma and on to Jindabyne and Thredbo. The drive is about 5 hours (plus stops) from the centre of Sydney. The police are very active with radar – especially from Goulburn to Jindabyne so watch your speed.
As vehicles are not permitted in the Village Mall on which Squatters is built, you reach Squatters by driving along the main road which loops inside the village. You will pass the church and Thredbo Burger Bar on your right and Squatters is on your left hand side a further 800 metres along. Our main reception is at the top of Squatters, just after our car parking areas on Diggings Terrace – come on in and collect your keys which will open both your room and give you car parking access to your designated car spot. If you are arriving after 5 pm just call ahead to obtain the security door code. If we are not going to be there we will leave your key for you at reception. Once you are inside your apartment you will see the great views and how centrally located Squatters is. Open a glass of wine or relax with a cup of tea and start enjoying your holiday!
