Rockpool Lodge is situated in a naturally beautiful setting which not only allows easy access to the best Thredbo has to offer, but a stunning environment in which to enjoy the best Nature has to offer.

This house has it all. The use of natural timbers brings the outside in. Timber cupboards, bedroom suites and feature panelling mix well with the modern contemporary furnishings. The bathrooms feature glass mirrors and doors complimented by the clean, fresh look of the white porcelain basins. The bedrooms ooze class and quality with crisp, pure white linen highlighted by gold trimmed cushions in bone, off white and chocolate. The design is professional, exquisite and certainly five star.
