Spectacular environment for a unique event

Spectacular environment for a memorable occasion

Snowline Lodge sleeps up to 68 people in bunk style accommodation, and is often used for smaller groups who don’t need the extra lodge. It features two accommodation wings, a commercial kitchen and open plan dining/lounge area.

The adjacent Day Lodge is a contemporary function centre. Being right next door to Snowline, it gives great separation for those that want to party into the night whilst others can retreat to bed or the peace and quiet of the Snowline Lodge Lounge with its cozy wood fired pot belly.

The Day Lodge’s flexible layout is easily configured for presentations, exercise mats & breakouts to allow for a mix of dining, socialising, dancing, learning, creative pursuits, or relaxing. Hire Snowline Lodge by itself or the Day Lodge as well.
