Maybe I should have read the booking better. For 960.00 I sort of expected a bigger home bathroom and maybe a kitchen. The room was cold with not alot of linen. The bedding looked very old and uninviting. For a delux suit. It was far from that. I booked two night and only stayed one. It was that uncomfortable.

Cute and quirky lodge. So close to the main lift up the mountain, can ski/board down the end of the street to make it there. The outdoor spa was perfect! The restaurant downstairs was a bit overpriced for what we got. But otherwise a great stay.

Quaint Swiss Style Chalet

Old style chalet well maintained very clean. Goulash stall out front. Bar opens at 4:30. Rooms could be from 30s Austria or Switzerland. Restaurant experience was a little disappointing on the night with the German smorgasbord.

The spirit of Tirol Alps in Australia

Very impressed with the lodge design. Feels the warmth of the wood everywhere: from stairs and walls to the restaurant and breakfast room. The warmth spreads from the hearts of the staff especially the manager. Wonder how many professions combine in one person.

Completely overpriced

Stayed for a long weekend. Paid over $500.00 a night thought we were getting something special with the "Honeymoon Suite". 10 sq metres total really old with poor facilities and uncomfortable bed. Would never stay here again.

Best experience ever, even though it was 6 hours traveled on the bus. It was my first solo trip & first activities in the snow, which really awesome. I built my own snowman, went for snow mobile tour, went to ski & other. All I can say is worth it ..
