Lodge rating (Reindeer Lodge)
Love the rustic feeling of the lodge. I have a two-month old with me and we have no problem staying in the eco-lodge. He really enjoyed it too and slept really well. However, I must admit it would be challenging to come back when my boy starts on solid as there's no microwave and I won't be able to use food processor or the like.

we were very impressed with the accomodation.It was a very relaxing place and all the adults and kids had a great time. Especially because our partners were able to switch they computer and phones off.Reindeer Lodge had some very good features and its amazing how you guys restored old things and made use of it.

I will always spread the good words about your lodge and service because you allowed us to use the accomodation which we couldnt make it last yr due to illness of my son. we told u on the day that we cant make it and you credited the money which we used last weekend.

We had a great time staying at the Reindeer Lodge. It had a real alpine feel to it and the big wood heater kept the place very warm, it was also pretty to look at. In the morning we put seed out for the birds and had dozens of king parrots eating out of our hands.

We loved the lodge and surrounds, the kids would have loved it (but we left them behind, so sad), maybe next time. Tanjil Bren is wonderfully quiet. We walked to the crystal pit and found a few partially formed quartz crystals. Advise taking a shovel or something, we found a broken camping spade and that sufficed. Beautiful walk up there though. The sausage dogs had a ball - had to carry the fat one for the last kilometre back! Will be back.

The rope swing was huge success too.

We stayed in the newly aquired Last Resort which really served our needs as a close destination to Mt Baw Baw. As it lacked lighting during our visit & considering the price we payed,,,well we really can't complain. The beds seem to require an upgrade though. Cld live with the bats in the 2nd flr flying aerial manoevres in the dark. Had the 9 of us remained in the house well that wld have been another story. It is my belief that it cannot accomodate that many, given that 5 occupants were kids under 10 & roaming space is limited. Food 4 thought i hope.

Had no power supply so had to have the generator on. Also not very well maintained. Windows upstairs only one opens (gets really hot up there with the fire on) and i don't thinks its very safe for children. Smoke alarms don't work had some wood smoldering on top of the fire and smoke detectors didn't pick it up. Beds are extremely over used and need replacing especially in queen downstairs. bed posts are tipping into the actual bed.

We were 2 families and we stayed at the Jenny's Lodge for 2 nights. It was a pleasant and unique experience. The place is nestled in a picturesque surrounding with a nice warm fireplace, well equipped kitchen, nice fresh entertainment for the kids (not TV or internet as we would always get in the city). Found it quite refreshing change from the usual mundane holiday trips.

If we have a large party why not? Only disappointing part of the trip was Mt Baw Baw peak didn't have sufficient snow. I think this problem is going to be more prominent especially with global warming etc in the future. Perhaps the lodge needs to focus on summer/spring holiday makers as well.

Only feedback is that it was VERY cold when we arrived (4% inside the lodge) and it would've been nice if the fire had been lit earlier to make it more comfortable initially. The other small issue that the lodge has is ventilation over the cooktop. The smoke detectors were set off when we were cooking breakfast. Otherwise, we loved the lodge and location. Both Kim & Alan were very hospitable & friendly. We would love to come visit again sometime.

It was great to have the directions - something we referred to a few times on the way up the hill. Just a suggestion - the final left hand turn into the 'Recreation Reserve' track after the toilet/phone booth in Tanjil Bren could refer to the signage. (I think it says something like 'Recreation Reserve' but not quite sure). We were lucky to find it first time, but Cov advised that many haven't, so referring to this sign might help.

This place is unreal. Way beyond our expectation. The welcome from Kim was warm and the introduction to the facilities and amenities of the Lodge by her were first class.

Everything in and around the Lodge was spic and span.

On this occasion we were just looking for a bed for the night. Now we have seen the place, we will definitely be back and for a longer stay and bring some friends.

The 9volt power was a bit of an issue as the caretakers had trouble getting the generator to work. Luckily my husband could get it going. The battery didn't have much life. We used our car battery to run the TV. Apart from that all was great. The caretakers were very caring and helpful. they just need some more experience in running the generator.

Initial enquiries - good communication. After booking Moosehead Lodge and paying a deposit we were contacted and informed we had been relocated to Reindeer Lodge (that Moosehead Lodged was not available). This was not satisfactory but was later rectified.

I became a walking talking Moosehead Lodge website after pondering over in for many hours in anticipation for the coming break (yes i did need a holiday!). I loved the website with all its photos, i somehow felt a little connected to the region when I arrived having spent so many hours studying the faces of the past. The site inself was informative, and the instructions helped.

Was promised that the fire would be lit and lodge warm for us on arrival but did not happen. Was only met and lit when we got there. Cyrus could not get the gas lamps working so relied on the candles the first night as the battery power had not been charged and was low. Apart from that we loved our stay and the lodge was nice and close for us to come back to after a day of skiing.

Our party stayed in both Reindeer and Moosehead lodge and we all absolutely loved the 'rustic charm'. Only difficulty I had was finding space for everything when I was cooking but that is because we had all 14 people together in Moosehead Lodge for every meal. Having said that, never at any point did we feel like we were squashed in, we were easily all able to spread ourselves around the lodge to read or talk or play games. One of the great things about the lodges is that they truely are self contained, everything that I needed to prepare 5 meals for 14 people was there (between the two lodges). It was great to not have to bring things like condiments etc.
Lodge cleanliness
Very clean - comfortable and homely rather than sterile.
Would you visit again?
We would go back in a heartbeat! The lodges are absolutely charming, aided by the fact that our arrival was heralded by amazing parrots who sat on hands. It was very nice to have a friendly welcome by Cyrus. The whole experience was very 'easy'. We all felt incredibly relaxed when we left, and have already talked about going back with our kids next year.
