A time to come together

Christmas is the moment to put it all down and celebrate the people who made the year worthwhile.
Now picture them all beside Lake Jindabyne. Daylight lingering over the water, the mountains beyond, a cold drink in the beer garden, then dinner, laughter and a night that feels completely yours.

Christmas beside the lake
Summer in the Snowy Mountains
Summer in the Snowy Mountains.
December is the Snowy Mountains at their greenest. Days are typically mild, with highs around 19°C, and the light stretches well into the evening, with sunset around 8 PM. It is a fresh, clean-air kind of summer rather than a scorching one, which suits a party beautifully.
When the evening cools to around 8°C, the beer garden's outdoor heating and the function room are there when you want them. Bring a layer and stay as long as you like.
- Typical daytime high: around 19°C
- Typical overnight low: around 8°C
- Long daylight, with sunset around 8 PM
- Mountain weather can change quickly, so pack a layer
Whether you are planning a work Christmas party or gathering friends and family, celebrate the festive season somewhere that feels different from the usual routine.
