Location,staff and the relaxed atmosphere. All the guests and staff became a large family when we stayed there. The combined eating area and lounge make for a very comfortable stay. The ability to ski in and out was fantastic.

“Was like staying in Faulty Towers without the humour.”
Ski in ski out was fun, the hill up to the town wasnt easy for partner and child to navigate on the snow & ice covered road. Ensuite bathroom in the room was a welcome addition, however the door didnt have a lock or a latch which didnt allow it to shut properly- so air would get into the bathroom causing the shower curtain to flap and stick onto you while showering. Said shower curtain was held up with a spring loaded bar and could not bear any weight. Fell down numerous times during our stay.

“Perfect location right on the hill and very nice hosts!”
Hosts were very nice, and very helpful getting me set up for skiing on the hill. The location is pretty hard to beat as you are right on the hill. Breakfast was ideal before skiing. All in all it was a great stay.

“Relaxed and friendly Australian hospitality.”
It is very easy to ski down to the chair lifts straight from the hotel in the morning (at the end of the day you can’t ski all the way back from the top of #1 chair due to some small roads, but it is a fairly short walk). The staff were able to sell us lift passes. The owners and staff are relaxed and hospitable Australians who will do their best to make you comfortable. The breakfast and coffee was excellent. The restaurant food and views are very good. The door frames are high enough and the beds are long enough for tall people. The room had comfortable beds and a new (small Japanese size) ensuite bathroom.
