Our time at Lions Lair was wonderful…. Winter WONDERLAND! Michael and Rowena we amazing, they were warm, welcoming, accommodating, helpful and full of tips and wealth of knowledge. The location was just perfect, we walked to Smiggin holes and when we travelled to Perisher it was a 5 min trip in a free shuttle bus. We also walked to our snow/ski hire place, Rhythm Smiggins. My husband and I travelled with 4 young children and we all really enjoyed our breakfast served each day. A big thank you to Lions Lair, and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND others to stay here.

Holiday stay with my daughter

The two of us decided to take off in the school hols as there was still so much snow. The accommodation was in an excellent spot. We were warmly greeted and the rooms were very comfy with everything you need. The breakfasts are unbelievable. So good you don't need much lunch. There is a microwave in the communal facility area, along with a fridge, which we utilized for a stay in dinner. Great road trip!
