Bushwalk Australia

Day 9 of my AAWT and I am camped in a saddle just before Mt Anderson (and yes it is going to be a cold night!!). I have been carrying a terrible cold for the last 4-5 days and it is not making hiking enjoyable. Hence i want to spend a few days in Thredbo to recover. Any recommendations or suggestions for comfortable but not overly expensive accommodation?
Thanks
Martin

The YHA should have space. It's about $35/night plus a possible guest fee. The website is unhelpful on this point. I'll contact the hostel and see if they have space and ask the costs. Had a typo above - "gust fee".

Stayed at the YHA in 2010 and it was great. They were also happy for me to post a food drop there. (Future reference for other AAWT walkers).

Definitely the yha. They are used to smelly bushwalkers and are happy to hold a food drop. I found I was running a day late last time - rang them from Schlink Pass and left a message on their answering machine. They changed my booking without any problem.

If you are not already a YHA member you will need to join. This can push up the overall cost of a few nights a bit.

Otherwise I have enjoyed staying at Candlelight Lodge, as an alternative.

Thanks all I'll phone the yha this morning the Candlelight is already booked out.
So much for the fine calm night predicted...>60kmh winds reported by thr Thredbo top station. Not much sleep in a little sinylon TarpTent (SS1) but it is as it fine

I received an email from Thredbo YHA:

Lucky to get accommodation with a downhill bike racing event on and 3 weddings. But yha clean and comfortable. Never stayed at one before but impressed. Showered, wash ed clothes, just had fish for dinner and a large glass of red, now ready for bed (which you have make yourself). A couple of days and the Cascades and Cobberas.

Good to hear, rest well and travel safe.
Hard to believe how busy Thredbo can be in the 'off' season

Another vote for the YHA. Very reasonably priced in the off season, and their own kitchen helps keep your costs down (although the lure of a pub meal can be strong). Holding a food drop is useful, plus they also have laundry facilities.
