Summer is a great time to enjoy the mountains.
Perisher is certainly a very different and quiet place.
The lodge is an ideal place to base yourself for even a few days or something much longer.
Bushwalking, fishing and sightseeing are just a few of the activities you can enjoy, and right now, there is still skiing!
The rates this summer at the Illabunda have remained the same as last, so that means it is CHEAP!
You can check the summer vacancies here.
Get down there and enjoy!

Winter 2007 - It's Over!
Winter 2007 has come to a close, and what a great season it was.
August and early September ended up being fairly dry in terms of snowfall, and it wasn't until the final two weeks of the season, did snow finally fall again.
That doesn't mean the skiing was bad - in fact, the solid snowpack that was on the ground held up really well, and even on the long weekend - the whole resort bar Smiggins could have been open - an amazing situation.
The lodge was full almost all season, and a huge vote of thanks must go to our fantastic managers Matt and Luanne who made every guests stay an absolute pleasure.
When the closing weekend arrived, it came with a surprise - 10cm of fresh snow - the Saturday was great skiing, with no - one around!
While the lifts are closed, there is still plenty of snow to enjoy on the higher slopes of the main range, and if you are keen, it is there for you! 5cm of new snow fell on Friday night!
So goodbye to all the Skiers, boarders, snowshoers and holiday makers and welcome to summer!

Tragedy
I hadn't seen Tyrone Monkman in a few seasons, but from all reports he was still a keen skier. A few years back, he was a regular guest at Illabunda.
Late this season he was killed in a skiing accident at Blue Cow.
Tyrone tragically left behind his wife Renee and their baby daughter Olivia. The thoughts of all Illabunda members, guest and friends are with them.
Make sure you think of Tyrone the next time you ski under the Ridge Chair at Blue Cow, and if you knew him, even stop for a moment to remember him.
