Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Cosy, friendly staff

Negative: For $400/night, I would expect a bed that I could fit into. It must have been the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in.

Summary: Not ideal accommodation for a normal sized human

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Location, host and the decor. Sauna Beautifully presented. Great breakfast included The dining room and lounge is lovely. Nice fire place Free tea and coffee. Host provided advice about hikes, fishing and tyre repair. Room was dark and quiet. I was the only guest. Secure, private

Negative: Lack of TV channels No information about where the facilities are or about how to use the laundry, hot tub and sauna. I had to call / test the owner to ask. My stay was 4 days, and the hot tub was not working. It was fixed and the owner did not advise until the day before checkout. The hot tub was one of the reasons I chose Karelia. Breakfast served late for me, 8am to 9am. Budget single room very small. 5m2 as noted includes the robe and bathroom. I felt like I was in a closet. Couldn't lie in bed without feet hitting the wall and head almost touching. Great if you're a short person. Very disappointing. If the room was refundable I would have left on day 2. Not cheap at $200 a night.

Summary: Karelia

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Very amazing décor ..... German/Swiss style alpine lodge . Lots of dead stuff and cuckoo clocks on the walls(don't forget the piano accordion music) . Very warm and cosy feel with great bar/restaurant/Breakfast hall. Owner and staff were very friendly and try the "Boot shot" to warm you up. No other accommodation in the area offers this style of hospitality .

Negative: This is not a 5 star hotel .... its an slightly quirky and eccentric experience . I loved every minute but if that's not your thing you may not feel the same way .

Summary: Was here to ski ,but when I wasn't, I enjoyed food, drink and company at Karelia .

Positive: Why go to Europe when you can enjoy a similar experience in this unique and authentic Alpine-styled lodge right here in the Australian Alps. Host Jerry was accommodating and attentive. He and all of his staff, chef Phil as well as Śyama, Vera and Sarah were welcoming, warm, friendly and helpful during my stay. My single room was perfect; warm, cosy and comfortable. I did my research and its price was the best and cheapest I could find in all of Falls Creek. Breakfast offerings (continental and cooked) which are included in the price were very good and the personalised service was excellent. I can also highly recommend the braised veal shank and goulash pie, and nothing beats the taste and satisfaction of homemade bread provided in the restaurant. Karelia Alpine Lodge is well and conveniently located within walking distance to the village, bus shuttles and ski lifts. I loved my stay and if ever I decided to return to this picturesque part of Australia, Karelia would be my first choice.

Summary: Loved my stay in this unique and authentic Alpine-styled lodge.

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The décor and fixtures are something to behold , as someone that has been skiing in Austria this is the exact kind of thing you would find at a Austrian / Swiss / German / Czech resort and find it remarkably odd but also very interesting, you can’t look at anything without finding it oddly interesting The first person I met was Phil the chef who understandably didn’t know anything about checking in but was very welcoming and assured me someone would be along shortly to help me out (Phil is also the one man kitchen and produces some authentic Swiss cuisine ) Jerry popped up the stairs showed me my room and gave me the run down for breakfast and the sauna and and spa and let me get to unpacking my things , met him down stairs at the bar later and he will give you some great details of falls creek being a stalwart since the 80s. The staff at Karelia are lovely , Vera and Sara will give you any info that you need to get you around the resort to have a good time , Vera is really knowledgeable on venues within the resort and Sara can make any kind of cocktail you can think of ! There is also another lovely cleaner / lady that serves breakfast sorry I forgot your name but is so very helpful and lovely. Breakfast was classic continental 8-9 am you’ve gotta be ready and not at all hungover. but a small selection of hot breakfast from the kitchen Bacon eggs and toast for a big day of skiing , who could refuse especially if they’ve talked you into having their famous boot shot the night before. The bar downstairs opens from 5 decent selection of European beers and liquor, the fondue was excellent. Service from Sara was fantastic and you can see that the small operation of this hotel works well together.

Negative: Because it is a small team , sometimes you can’t find Jerry the owner for specific questions but the other staff make up for this with pure charm

Summary: So insanely baffling that it was too good

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Comfortable, lovely staff. Great hot tub

Negative: Had to pay $50 return in Oversnow…some lodged include transport up. Need to take that into account with price….everything seems expensive this year.

Summary: Loved it, we’ll be back

Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Breakfast was excellent. The ambiance was excellent . The resident cuckoo nearby was poetic. Staff were more than helpful.

Negative: I would have like access to a microwave and a fridge. I knew there wasn't either in the room because I read the literature very carefully and I know the rooms dimensions ruled out either. I was able to arrange a work around but it did make the stay a little more challenging for me. The last three places I have stayed all had shampoo, body wash and conditioner dispensers in the shower and I was a little surprised by their omission. I would have liked something I could use to put my feet up in the otherwise excellent lounge. These weren't serious issues, more icing on the cake. I still rate the establishment as very good.

Summary: Quirky, engaging and memorable in a positive way.
