Cancellations

  • Kongoola is a small not-for-profit club and has low bed rates compared to above snow line hotels. The Australian snow season is a short window of time for the club to cover the high operating costs of a ski lodge and to continue its upkeep, therefore opportunities for filling beds with short notice during the ski season are limited.
