Terama Ski Lodge

Welcomed by Heath (?) who was really friendly and helpful and showed us around and to our room. Toasty lodge throughout. The room was basic but comfy with bunk beds, large built in cupboard space to hang clothes, store bags etc, small chest of drawers and a counter with a large mirror. Yes, the doors don’t lock but there was a safe in the cupboard and also for a dollar or two, lockers downstairs. There is a chain on the door you can put on at night if it makes you feel safer. Everyone really nice. Some crazy kids and their families the first few nights but they moved on. Breakfast each morning included in the tariff with a pancake machine that makes tiny pancakes but the kids loved them. Different breads for toast, butter, jams, marmalade, Vegemite etc, a selection of cereal, orange and apple juice and a coffee machine thing that you can use whenever that churns out whatever kind of coffee or hot chocolate you fancy. The kitchen / eating area and lounge all very comfy. There’s a pool table that’s $1 a go but that was waived when we were there. Kitchen has plenty of space and everything you could need. Showers downstairs as well as drying room and laundry (free to use). One men’s and one ladies toilet upstairs too which is handy. Very close to bus stop 5 or 6 for the free village loop bus to get u to the village, summit, ski school etc. I recommend taking stop 6 on the way out and stop 5 on the way home as both will then give you a downhill walk which is handy in ski boots! The walk is way less than 100m. All in all, Terama is a fab option for people on a budget. It is warm and welcoming and has everything you could need.
