Testimonials
Everything went smooth + it is super close to everything you need. Definitely recommending!
I had a lovely time staying at Kongoola lodge, Andy and Iona were so welcoming and kind! It was a fabulous lodge that was very well situated and lived up to expectations. Definitely would stay again!
Good place to stay for a long time, near the bus stop, and can go skiing easily.
Such a cool lodge, a wonderful location, cozy and warm, and with a huge and well-organized kitchen. Such a welcoming place to come after a day skiing with lovely hosts. Great location near the village bus stops taking you straight to the slopes, yet tucked away for some privacy. Hot showers, heated towel racks. Spotless inside with beautiful views across the mountains. Highly recommend. Would love to return. Thanks!

"A beautiful stay, with such a lovey and warm communal atmosphere. The bathrooms and communal spaces were all very clean."
"Great value for money, great location, fantastic views and a great fire place. Drying room was fantastic with heaps of room. Danny Was a great host. Would stay again!"
"Awesome place! Value for money, with our own private bathroom which we really enjoyed. The room was clean and had great shared facilities such as the big dry room, kitchen and games rooms. Definitely would stay at this place again 🙂 Thanks Andy!"
"It was much cleaner than expected and we had a nice view. There were 4-5 different coffee pod machines available which would have been nice to know in advance so I could have brought some, but is a nice touch. The water pressure in our shower was awesome and the towel rails were heated. The bed was pretty comfy and there was storage and hanging space in the room. There’s also a small safe with a keypad in your room. The drying room was always packed with stuff. And the fridges were super full and disorganised. Each room did have a designated freezer drawer however. It’s a bit tricky to get here in deep snow if you have heaps of gear and are new to the alpine region, so be prepared to push the sled!"
