Xmas at Crackenback

Trek816485 Family - 05/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

I have been in this part of the world many times throughout the winter but this was the first summer stay which was great. My wife and son thoroughly enjoyed the experience of living in nature and of course catching up with old friends.

Absolutely awesome place summer or winter

Umesh Families - 02/01/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The resort was very beautiful. It lived upto our expectations we had from the pictures. The lake was very beautiful. And we had the best Gluten Free pizza in the Alpine Larder. The breakfast was very good too. The kids loved the various activities in the resort. The staff were very good.

Nilesh Families - 02/01/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The location was great and gym, sauna and pool was good. I like the free activities like archery and Kayaking. The 9 hole golf course was a bit of a let down. I think more care needs to be put in to maintain the course.

A very enjoyable experience

Good apart from instances with staff who were not trained in customer service

Catherine N. Friends - 20/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall good. Accommodation was very clean and spacious. There were bush walks and activities however the weather wasn’t that favourable during our stay. There were issues when dining at the Alpine Larder. On the first instance were we able to use the Accor plus card. On the second instance we were told that it wouldn’t be accepted as they didn’t accept the card unless the main restaurant (Cuisine)) was closed. However on looking at the Accor app the Alpine Lader was the first Accor to come up. On the third instance the restaurant was closed when we ate at the Larder as it was our birthdays (we would have preferred not to eat there again but had little choice) the staff wouldn’t accept the card. On the second and third dealing with staff at the Lader they were rude and abrupt. The staff were poorly trained on customer relations. When dining at Cuisine for breakfast the staff member kept looking at a list ato cross off our name but we told her that we were paying and she finally sent us to the bar to pay.

Dear Catherine, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I have passed your feedback onto our Management team. Anthony, our General Manager stated he had been investigating the matters you have mentioned. Regarding your pre-arrival email, I have investigated further to see where the challenges with communication occurred. It seems your booking from Accor Vacation Club only dropped into our system at about midday on the 31st of October. Our pre-arrival emails are sent from our system at around 6am in the morning, 1 week out from your arrival. As your arrival at the resort was exactly 1 week from the 30th of October, this gives us some explanation as to why you didn't received our email prior to your arrival. I apologise for this. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate you sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Alicia Stratton Front Office Supervisor

Wasn't as peaceful and quiet as I had hoped

Duncan Families - 19/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had been really looking forward to staying at LCR as we have stayed there before and loved it. The weekend that my family stayed at the resort appeared to be a particularly busy weekend. Lots of families and a wedding / reception was held on our first day there (families associated with the wedding?). Both days we arrived in Cuisine restaurant for breakfast - it resembled 'pigs at a trough', despite my family arriving at different times during the breakfast period. People ploughing through each other to reach the breakfast stations, leaving mess everywhere without consideration for other patrons or resort staff who have to clean it up. Once I eventually got to get a plate of food, found no cutlery was available with which to eat. The family in the lakeside apartment above our apartment were somewhat noisy - screeching chair legs across the floor, loud conversations, screaming kids etc. Overall, LCR was beautiful and staff professional as per usual, however my family and I were unable to relax or enjoy our stay as much as I had hoped.

Dear Duncan, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I will pass all of your comments onto my F&B Manager to ensure the issues mentioned are addressed. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent future occurrence. We appreciate you sharing your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Sincerely, Alicia Stratton Front Office Supervisor.

Snowing 2 weeks before Summer

C P. Families - 15/11/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

My family had spent last weekend in Lake Crackenback. We were not expecting to see snow this time of the year, specially when almost there were a lot of bushfires around NSW & Qld. I have been a Gold member of AccorVacation Club for 14 years, and my experiences with most if not all of my holidays were extremely relaxing. My adult kids have truly enjoyed all the free activities and amenities in Lake Crackenback. One thing I have regretted though, was I didn’t book my massage earlier on. It was fully booked when he arrived. Overall , it was amazing place to stay and we will definitely going back.

Dear Maria, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. I have passed your disappointment onto the Day Spa. Hopefully next time you come to visit we can get you into the Spa to enjoy all they have to offer. I'm so glad you got to experience the snow! Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Alicia Stratton Front Office Supervisor
