Travel and Parking

During Winter chains must be carried in all cars.  Parking is in designated parking areas along the road up the mountain.  There are 4-wheel drive “taxis” to get your party and gear to the Lodge.


Alternatively there is a bus service from Melbourne and Mansfield to the mountain.  The transport terminus is only about 150 metres from the Lodge.

Access to the Lodge

At the Lodge you can enter the foyer but you will need to use the access code to gain full entry. This will have been provided to you by the Booking Officer. Your room will have been allocated to you by the Lodge Manager and will be displayed on the whiteboard in the entry. The number beside your name is the housekeeping duty you have been allocated. Details of each duty are found on cards in a box on the desk beside the white board.

Outside footwear must not be worn in the Lodge and ski gear should only be brought into the Lodge through the outside ski room entrance door on the left side of the building (facing the Lodge).

Duties

Costs are kept to a minimum by all occupants sharing the cleaning of the Lodge. Everybody is allocated a task for which they are responsible during their stay. Assigned duties must be completed before you leave the Lodge and the Lodge Manager/Assistant Lodge Manager informed.
