Our stay at Troldhaugen Lodge was very nice, with a comfortable, warm, clean room. We enjoyed the company of other guests - English, South African, German and from Chile; played table tennis and got valuable information for climbing the Kosciosku mountain. The Host was very friendly - even offering us a beer. Breakfast was continental - but quite sufficient - and in such a great location with beautiful views.
At such a low price of A$ 70 (with balcony) this was a real bargain. Can't understand how anyone can grumble - you can't expect 5* accommodation at such a low price!

Like the skiing in Australia's Snowy Mountains ($$$$$), Jindabyne is very overpriced for what you get. But the market will apparently bear it, so if you want the experience you have to pay the going rate.

This property is at the cheaper end of the scale (US$120-140 per night; most have a two-night minimum, this place allowed one) and offers very basic accommodation (1.5 stars), but clean overall (bed linen and bathrooms). Basic breakfast is included. Walls too thin if you are easily disturbed by the noise of other guests or the owner.

The place is a private home turned into an expanded B&B marketed as a "lodge." Three parking spaces for an unknown number of rooms on the front lawn & driveway (all covered in concrete). The rest of the parking is on the street in the neighborhood. This is not a hotel in the usual sense.

Would not stay in the property again but it's survivable if you just want a place to crash at night after a long day skiing (or driving from Sydney to get to this area: 5-6 hours). Some nice hotels on the main road but probably hugely expensive.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to map it before arriving in Jindabyne as it is just a house in a neighborhood and those I questioned about it didn't have a clue where it was. Fortunately I arrived before the booking agency closed and they could give me directions. I would NEVER have found it otherwise and really late arrivals could be a problem as there's no front desk and I think the owner wouldn't open up after a certain hour. Check with them about that.
