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.

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.

Beautiful but one tiny thing…

Loved it, cozy, great view. The entry process was easy and not too far to walk and right near the pick up location for the shuttle. Only one little thing… no parking. 24 hr parking is a long way away, ended up getting parking nearby with Thredbo accommodation. If they sorted that it would be perfect.

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.

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.

Everything we needed

Stayed for a few days of mountain biking, walking distance to bike hire and bottom of gondola. Great Burger Bar at the end of the footpath! Kitchen was fantastic, everything you could need in there. Lots of little things available that made it comfortable. Fantastic to have the washer and dryer in the downstairs bike/ski room! Couldn’t get enough of the view at the start and end of each day, I will stay again when back in Thredbo

Happiness in Thredbo

We were so impressed with the accommodation it was perfect for our family. Near to the village, buses and valley terminal. We had family video nights and enjoyed seeing the deer and wallabies that visited during our stay. Thank you for letting us stay at your property and helping us have a very relaxing and fun holiday. Perfect two adults and one child

Great place to stay

My son and I stayed here for 9 nights for mountain biking and the cabin suited us very well. Neat and tidy with all the things you need. Plenty of cooking items, we cooked all but the last night. He used the loft and I used the sofa bed (toilets down the bottom) which was rather comfortable. We liked the area as its quiet and the view is awesome. Very handy to have the laundry area at the bottom to keep our bikes secure. Will definitely be checking availability next time if it is just the 2 of us going.

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.
