We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Prices have been higher this year due to huge demand and limited supply during the peak times; plus single night bookings are always at a premium rate due to the extra cleaning involved.

Had an amazing weekend, during the summer. The property is chocolate box gorgeous. The rooms are superb; very clean, with a big comfortable king bed, and a fabulous shower. Clair and David make you feel so welcome, and are very knowledgeable of the local area. The continental breakfast was delicious, and very welcome after an early morning of fly fishing. We would highly recommend this lodge, and hope to stay here again.

Beautiful stay in Jindabyne
Troldhaugen Lodge is a great place to stay when in Jindabyne. Claire and David are very friendly, and go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and at home. The lodge is a short walk to town, with beautifully appointed rooms, lots of comfortable common areas and a spectacular view. The garden is beautiful with lots of places to relax. The included breakfast is fabulous, lovely Bircher muesli, bread and great coffee. A really lovely place to stay, hope to stay again when in Jindabyne.

A stunning gem in Jindabyne!
This is a wonderful lodge which we would recommend to everyone!! Our room was beautifully decorated, super clean, with ample space, a very comfortable bed and brilliant shower. Hosts Claire and David were very welcoming, friendly and happy to help with suggestions on local things to do. The lodge has warm and inviting common areas and we spent some time there playing board games and looking out at the beautiful view of the lake. On one evening we bought back takeaway food and were able to enjoy eating it in the dining area. Make sure to take note of Claire & David's email about booking restaurants in advance as they do get booked out as we learnt on our first night! The free breakfast is a real treat with delicious breads, coffee, ham, cheese, fruit, spreads and plenty more. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay Claire & David, we will be back again soon!

This is a great stay in a recently renovated guest house that is owned and run by the wonderfully welcoming Claire & David. The rooms are sparkly clean and tastefully decorated. The bathroom is small but what a great shower and the hosts provide locally made hair and body products that smell divine. The bed was super comfortable but my only gripe is that the walls are thin so you could hear the neighbours having sex when the whole house had quietened down for the night. A delicious and substantial continental breakfast is included and the dining room has lovely views over Lake Jindabyne. There’s a great common lounge area and in winter I’m sure this would be cosy and warm with the log fire going. Town is only a short walk or an even shorter drive away. We only stayed a couple of nights but could’ve comfortably stayed a couple more. Many thanks Claire & David for your gracious hospitality.

HI Jennifer - thank you for taking the time to write such a long review. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the over enthusiastic guests next to you - this is the first time in 5 years that this has occurred. There are only 2 bedrooms that have a common wall in the lodge and it is a concrete block wall with timber paneling on both sides so should afford a reasonable amount of sound insulation. Please always let us know if there are any noise issues so that we can address them immediately. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Claire & David

Excellent location, room and hosts. However, I would not stay again unless they upgraded their water system to cope with the number of guests they have. The shower went from freezing to boiling and even completely stopped a couple of times.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We did have an electrical problem with our hot water system last week which has been resolved and we apologise for the inconvenience. I can assure you that there is plenty of hot water now. Our system is only 2 years old and this is the first incident we have had. Obviously we would have preferred it if you had come to us at the time so that we could have explained the issue - or maybe even made aware us of it. Guests often know about these things before we do and it they don't tell us we don't know. Please let us know if there is a problem in future so that we can fix it straight away. Other than the hot water, we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Lovely Boutique Lodge for Winter & Summer Escapes
We only stayed for one night but we absolutely loved the place. The lodge is very unique as its small, homely and each room is different. The room was small, but clean, tidy and with a great view. The shared bathroom was new and very clean. The common areas on all three floors were absolutely lovely both in decoration, feel and the lake views from the top lounge are spectacular. The hosts, David and Claire are lovely, hospitable and happy to recommend sites, visits and activities over coffee or breakfast. When we visit Jindabyne next time, we know for sure where we will be staying. Troldhaugen lodge has our absolute recommendation.
