Stayed 3 nights as Kasees with my daughter and her friend for some summer mountain hiking the Main Range. The apartment (number 7) was absolutely spotlessly clean and the views are stunning. Staff friendly and helpful. The location, private garden path to Thredbo main square is just so convenient. It's also very quite and private. We will stay again for sure.

Our apartment at Kasees was a great place to return to at the end of each full day of hiking. It was quiet, yet not far from the shopping area in Thredbo, had a perfect little kitchen and living room plus balcony with stunning views of the valley and the mountain. Highly recommend.

The apartment was clean and comfortable, but old. They lacked power points for charging and you needed to bring your own shampoo and conditioner. A good supply of cooking utensils. Views from the balcony were spectacular. Off street parking was a bonus; a short walk to every thing in the village.

Response from Annalisa Koeman on 10 Jan 2022
Thank you for your feedback. I apologise for the lack of power points (there was one in the front room alongside one settee); we were built pre mobile phones and other electronic gadgets. We will consider how to increase power outlets for our units. We are glad you liked the view; we are renowned for having one of the best locations in Thredbo. We hope to welcome you back to Kasees; you could ask for another unit on the same or upper floor next time. Sincerely

Real enriching Experience of Thredbo
Our stay was amazing. Thredbo is built by the community that surrounds the area, that lives and breathes the history that is still present in the village today. The Lodge is in top nick despite its age, and you are greeted by the original builders and owners of the a Lodge, who are the true living legends of Thredbo. They are most kind, generous and hospitable to all their guests that stay at their humble abode; which was all hand built by European Immigrants in the early 60s. Upon settling in, the view from the balcony is magnificent. I couldn’t more highly recommend staying at Kasees, and look forward to returning in the Winter.

A pretty unique property run by the same family since being established I believe in the 1960's. Dated in some ways but very clean and more than adequate for a short stay in Thredbo. The central heating worked brilliantly and at times the rooms were almost too warm. Although I've never been into skiing it had the authentic look, feel and charm of a Swiss chalet. We had the added bonus of snow as an early winter blast struck during our visit in April. I would certainly stay there again if ever in Thredbo and so should you.

Thank you for taking the time to review our lodge and your stay. Your positive comments are greatly appreciated. Given we are an older lodge we put in effort to keep it clean and tidy. We are also unique in Thredbo so glad you appreciated the feel and charm. We do hope you will return when you are able to 'hit the slopes' or alternatively when it is warmer! Our central heating is operated by a thermostat, however you are able to adjust the heat in your unit by adjusting the taps on the heaters. Sincerely

Well managed, well positioned, great views
Older, more traditional lodge. Well equipped, comfortable, with plenty of room. Can be a bit noisy as rooms come off the common/lounge room - but it's all happy noise!! Great views & well positioned near the centre. Kitchen has everything you could want. Staff all very happy & helpful. We were there in summer/autumn so not so busy as winter I expect.

Hello Alan Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Kasees and managed the happy noise from the large group staying at the same time. Apologies if it disturbed you. It is uncommon to have a big group stay. Winter is not necessarily noisier but certainly busier. We hope you will consider us again in the future. Sincerely

Mountains getaway
We stayed 4 nights in a studio apartment with the fully equipped kitchen, en-suite and balcony access. The highlights are; friendly and helpful hosts, great mountain views, parking on site (good reversing skill is a must, our car was blocked over two days but we didn't use it), short but steep walk to all local amenities. Some renovations wouldn't hurt like carpets and balcony handrails. Overall, great value for money, will come again.

Hello Marko Thank you for your review. We are located in a prime spot in the village with some of the best views. As we are in a mountain environment, certain conditions are different from urban areas including parking and steps. The Lodge is unique in Thredbo and offers a distinctive atmosphere, however we appreciate that the Lodge requires renovations - we are planning to redevelop or renovate at the end of this winter; these plans have been in the pipeline for a while. Thank you for considering staying with us again.

Great spot to stay in Thredbo village
Had an epic week in Thredbo skiing and snowboarding with the family in the first week of September. We were expecting Australian spring conditions. Instead we got around a metre of snow spread over 6 days. It made for a fun week with long days on the mountain.

Lovely hotel with a great view of the mountain
Kasees was perfect during my stay in Thredbo. The staff was very accommodating and the room was very spacious with a wonderful view of the mountain. The common area was also nice and cozy, but I didn't get to stay there much. The only problem with Kasees is that it's far from the shops, but there's a shuttle that you can take with the bus stop just outside Kasees. At night though, you might have to walk. My only complaint about the room was that the pillows were kinda flat. Overall, still a wonderful hotel and would definitely come back!

Good ski lodge without parking though
It was a family ski trip with another family of three. We had two rooms, each with a one bedroom unit with separate kitchen. Love their heated bathroom tiles and the view to the village and ski slopes. The owner Ann is very friendly and helpful. She offered to lend us toboggans when we expression the kids' interests to play. The dry room in the lodge is also very helpful to dry and warm up ski gears overnight. The lounge is cosy and a good place to meet with other visitors. The only thing is that parking is not so convenient as the only two spots they have can only be offered to visitors who will not use their car during their stay.

We enjoy Kacees for a quick bushwalking holiday. The apartments are clean, have great views over the blacony, and are easy to access. The water was hot and plentiful and just the ticket at the end of the days walking. The knowledgeable owners are well respected throughout the high country and were a delight, efficiently managing our booking payment and parking. We were given our own carpark and had direct access to the room. The lodge is very well maintained and had everything we required for a private restful stay without complications.

Great little place to stay in Thredbo. We stayed in the family room with 3 singles in one room and a double in the "living area". With two young kids it was great to have our own kitchen so we didn't have to take them out to eat. Fantastic set up for a family. Took advantage of the sauna which was lovely after a day of skiiing. Limited parking on site but a few parking areas around. More convenient to catch the village bus around or walk once you're there anyway.
