Honestly the exact cozy snow experience my partner and I were after. Loved the Bavarian feel and especially being by the open fireplace in the bar area. Existing from a totally different era I can't imagine anywhere else in Thredbo has the same charm. Don't change!

Lodge has a real feel of a lodge - as there is lots of wood panelling. No issue with lodge. Thredbo is quiet during Feb. We had a really good view of the mountain.

A Thredbo haven

Candlelight Lodge may not be up there with their more modern competitors but it does have character and comfort in spades. Well located with just a short stroll to the Village and marvellous views from all the bedrooms. An added bonus is the cooked breakfast and cosy pub located on the bottom level. Staff are welcoming and accommodating.

A cozy hotel with great views.

This hotel is a cozy B&B. It is a little dated, but the room was very nice. The restaurant was convenient and had quality food. The included breakfast was the best! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The ski shuttle picks up right in front of the hotel and runs most of the day. The biggest downside was the internet not working, and the closest public parking was at the bottom of the hill, nearly a mile away.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was quite satisfactory ... Clean spacious and tiny bathroom but quite functional.Loved the European accent and a nod to yesteryear when Candlelight was started back when Thredbo was a fledgling snow village and the snow fields were being built. Was a bit annoyed that the parking wasnt on site or close by luckily the weather was ok so waking back up the hill was ok but in snow or rain this would be a challenge! Parking space 4 would be the idea place if nothing on site but its first in first served ...maybe Candlelight should reserve some there too.

I absolutely love this place and it pains me to not be able to give 5 stars across the board, but the reality is they did not service our room once and the wifi didn’t work. It’s still absolutely awesome though, the staff are great and the restaurant and bar are literally among my favourites in the world! At $500 a night though, you should really make up the rooms like you say you do on the door.

When I made the booking through Wotif, the room was advertised as a “quadruple room” with two double beds, suitable for four guests. However, upon arrival, we were provided with a room containing only two single beds, accommodating just two people. This is a clear misrepresentation of the booking details, and I am extremely disappointed. The staff at the lodge advised that such discrepancies are common with Wotif bookings, noting that your platform frequently provides inaccurate or misleading information. This situation has caused considerable inconvenience and falls well short of acceptable standards. I am requesting a prompt explanation and appropriate resolution. If this matter is not addressed satisfactorily, I will consider seeking legal advice regarding the misrepresentation and its impact on our stay.
