Great. Thanks
Pros:

Cutlery , serviettes : could be improved.
Tableclothes would make a massive difference .
Bare wood and cutlery in containers makes a premium
Establishnent feel like a cheap hotel.
Rooms needed some attention to detail : no milk in fridge, one ceiling light did not work, one shower tap came off, no batteries for a remote.

Cons:

Sorry : wrong order:

Pros:

beautiful location, easy access to all areas. wonderful welcoming and helpful staff. A large yet cosy and warm room with not just bath towels but bath sheets! I enjoyed delicious breakfasts in the restaurant where I found the service to be friendly and efficient and also dinner on what appeared to be a very busy evening and yet food was brought out without delay (My arm was however twisted into having desert) 🙄

I would definitely recommend Candlelight Lodge as a place to stay in Thredbo

Very nice
Pros:

There could have been a bit more variety in the hot breakfasts but really it was fine

Cons:

The girl working in the breakfast area one morning used the F word a couple if times and there were little kids present - totally inappropriate
