Great place to stay.

The property was a great set-up for a week in the snow. Plenty of room. Handy location to the shuttle bus. Only downside is lack of a drying room.

Perfect Thredbo getaway for two

One of our favourite stays. Easy to find & access. Communication with host excellent. Loved the quiet location, stunning views and didn’t want for anything. Storage for bikes was very handy. We were sad to leave. Highly recommended.

Lovely chalet nestled away amongst the snow gums. Great location to do Mt Kosciuszko. A couple of great cafes and restaurants open in the quiet village during November. Very restful and private and all the amenities.

We LOVE Driftwood

This is the second time we’ve stayed here and honestly I was so much more excited this year because I knew we were staying in a place that felt like our home away from home. Definitely recommend.

Great little accommodation

Great accommodation, abit out of the way from the hussle and bussle of the village which is good. Right near arguably the best food at threadbo. The burger bar. Be carefully on the stairs after a few drinks and the queen bed wasnt super comphy but was ok

Pleasant stay

Lovely property that had all the amenities we needed. Two mates, so we used the two beds. The property is only a short 5 min walk to thredbo centre of town, or you can catch the free shuttle bus (route 2). Overall very happy.

Perfect for the mountain biking couple

A great stay in a great property. Perfect location with sweeping vistas of the valley with the ability to see what lifts are running and also not much of a walk/ride to access them. One of the standout features was the lock-up room downstairs that easily fits 2 DH bikes as well as helmets and gear.

Cute little loft apartment

This property is in a perfect location for the snow, the bus picks you up from out the front of the complex straight down to Friday Flats & Valley Terminal. The apartment had everything that we needed. The bed was comfortable, shower hot, ample heating (it doesn't take long to heat up and stay warm) and a well stocked kitchen. The view up to the mountains was beautiful. We highly recommend this property.
