What guests think

Reviews of Kookaburra Lodge highlight friendly hosts, clean budget rooms, handy communal spaces like a lounge with fireplace and kitchen, a sociable, homely vibe, and a convenient walk-to-town location, with many guests also praising the overall value for money.

Breakfast is included and often praised as tasty or cooked to order, though a few found it underwhelming. Shared bathrooms are common; many say they are very clean, but some report privacy concerns or small, dated areas. Rooms offer comfortable beds, yet several reviews note limited soundproofing and compact layouts. Expect a sociable, good-value base close to town.

Loved the whole place the husband and wife do a great job! The brekki was simple but great and was good to sit and eat with fellow guests and discuss our days plus the communal lounge and kitchen was so comfortable and quaint.

After of hearing of this lodge 5 years ago, we we’re finally able to find a vacancy here which matched our travel plans and there’s good reason it’s so popular. The owners are very friendly and extremely helpful. Their attention to detail, and cleanliness is evident throughout their unique facility. We were so impressed we booked again this week for our return journey. Highly recommend.

Outstanding accommodation if you don't mind a shared bathroom. That said, the bathrooms, male and female, were spacious and super clean with individual, lockable cubicles for privacy. Bedrooms are also spacious with extremely comfortable beds. Breakfast is provided and choice of continental or hot breakfast cooked to your order. The hosts could not have been more pleasant or helpful. We arrived very late at night and our rooms were ready and waiting with the keys inside and the heaters on to make them toasty warm on a cold night! For a budget conscientious family or individuals, you can't go past the Kookaburra Ski Inn at Jindabyne!

The property has limited privacy, walls separating rooms are not sound proof at all can get people talking very easily. Privacy of bathrooms poor due to doors only being half size and cubicles too small to get changed, needed to get dressed in open area of bathrooms

This place was terrible. I checked out after 40 mins - nothing in the room but a bed, place looked like a cell. One of the owners was revving his motorbike in the carpark trying to impress a bunch of middle-aged bikers when I arrived - which pretty much sets the tone for the rest of it. The ‘complimentary earplugs’ were a canary in the coal mine and if the drunken fights between the 18 year old clientele were anything to go by, I reckon I’d of needed them. Waste of money.
