Austen provides comfortable and convenient accommodation for individuals, families and groups who are looking for a really friendly place to stay, rather than in an impersonal Unit or Flat. Relax by the fire in the company of fellow skiers and find out where the best powder runs are.
The lodge commands breathtaking views of the adjacent mountains, and is surrounded by snow gums and wildlife. You can either self cater using the well-appointed kitchen, or enjoy the mountain restaurants that abound nearby.

Location
Austen is nestled in the Dargo subdivision near the edge of a huge ravine that overlooks the Southern Alps. It is a short walk over snow-covered tracks to the commercial establishments and to the free village buses that take you to the central summit. Groomed Cross Country Ski Trails begin near the Lodge and stretch for kilometres in either direction, while downhill skiers can ski down the Frosty Drop trail to meet the main ski runs and lifts.
