Live music at dinner in a well appointed dining room was a bonus.The lobster roll was disappointment , though. The mattress and pillows need replacement and the use of protectors . The whole experience was still excellent. We plan to go back on our return trip

I stayed in a 2 bedroom chaket with a friend. It was a great place. A few household small repairs will be required in time, it did not detract from our stay, and would return. It was a great value.

The chalet was beautiful. Super clean, nice decor and beds were comfy. Water pressure was a little low but not terrible. Tons of parking( although it was offseason there would still be more than enough even if fully booked). would definitely stay again.

Expected more amenities, no vending machines, couldn’t get anything to eat or drink after the main desk was closed which was pretty disappointing, service was great when available, rooms were clean and comfortable. But room in the main building had no mini fridge or microwave to heat up food that we were lucky able to get at the ski hill , would book again but but definitely come more prepared knowing what I know now . Over all experience was ok but really did have higher expectations

Very quiet. Reasonably priced stay at a very safe clean location. A car is required and proximity is good to Sydney area facilities. Fully met our needs with off peak season options. VV good.
