PERISHER LODGE

Location: The Perisher Lodge is situated behind The Man From Snowy River Hotel.  It is on the left hand side of Today Road just past The Stables Apartments and Restaurant.  The lodge is a 5–10 min walk from the Perisher Ski Tube.

Telephone: (02) 6457 5340  Fax: (02) 6457 5340 

Internet: From 2007, we hope to offer ADSL internet access.  The lodge phone line IS NOT to be used for dial up internet.

Accommodation:  The Perisher Lodge accommodates a total of 18 persons.  There are 8 bedrooms on the top floor, each with an ensuite.  Doonas and pillows are provided and, during the winter season only, sheets and pillow slips are also supplied.  The ground floor has a 2 bedroom self-contained flat.  The flat allows the use of the Lodge by small parties without the necessity to open up the main accommodation area.  There are laundry facilities, drying room for clothing and footwear, sauna and rumpus/TV room with a TV and video player.

Booking period: Bookings unless otherwise arranged with the booking manager are from 10am Saturday until 10 am the following Saturday.  Incoming residents may not occupy the lodge before the outgoing occupants have cleaned and vacated the upstairs area.  Incoming residents are requested to leave their luggage in the downstairs rumpus room while waiting for the outgoing residents to complete their tasks.

Stores: Stores provided are free issue items such as tea, coffee, salt and pepper, brown and white sugar, flour, rice, rolled oats, herbs and spices, alfoil and gladwrap.  Also provided are cleaning materials and toilet paper.  Bread, milk, meat and groceries may be purchased at the supermarket in the Perisher Ski Tube Terminal.

Telephone: The phone in the upstairs foyer of the lodge has a call meter attached to it. All outgoing calls must be made from this phone and the start and finish meter readings noted in the log book provided. STD calls are charged at 40 cents per unit. Local calls in the Cooma telephone area are not charged for but must be noted in the log book. Members must pay the Member-in-Charge for the number of call units used. The Member-in-Charge must note on the report form the weekly start and finish meter numbers, and return this form complete with all moneys collected promptly on return.

Linen: Winter - Sheets and pillow slips are provided, but please bring your own towel. Summer - Please bring sheets, pillow slips and towels.

Smoking: Smoking is not permitted inside the Perisher Lodge. Any person breaking this rule will be expelled or refused future accommodation.  Smokers are requested to smoke outside the lodge.

Parking and Transport: In the snow season, only day parking is allowed in Perisher Valley. Cars must vacate the car park by 12 midnight. Cars may be left in the visitors car park at Sawpit Creek but currently there are no regular shuttle buses. Overnight parking is available at the Bullocks Flat Ski Tube Terminal on the Thredbo road. Trains operate from this point to Perisher Valley and to Blue Cow day resort. Tracked oversnow vehicles may be hired in Perisher but are expensive. The Club owns a small Argo tracked oversnow vehicle.  This is to be driven only by the Hut Manager, or others specifically authorised by the Board. The vehicle is, at the authorised member’s convenience, available to carry members ski equipment and luggage to and from the transport terminal and the ski centre. Incoming residents are advised to ring the lodge to ascertain its availability. Misuse of the Argo by any member will result in disciplinary action being taken by the Board. In the off-season cars may park in the designated car park adjacent to the lodge but the NPWS will not allow parking any closer (i.e. in front of the lodge beyond the car park).

Garbage: A garbage compactor installed in the kitchen. Garbags should be changed when half full of compacted waste and removed downstairs. They can then be taken down to the bins near the transport terminal using the Club’s Argo oversnow vehicle. Please use the additional bins in the kitchen for glass, can, plastic, paper and cardboard recycling.  Avoid placing cans and glass in the compactor.

PET ANIMALS ARE NOT PERMITTED WITHIN THE LODGES OR WITHIN THE NATIONAL PARK AT ANY TIME
