Q · 01
Can I stay at the lodge if I'm not a member?
The lodge is for members and their invited guests. If you're interested in becoming a member, see the Join page — applications run year-round.
Q · 02
How long does a membership application take?
New applications are reviewed at the next monthly committee meeting. Allow up to four weeks for confirmation, longer over the summer break.
Q · 03
When are working bees, and do I have to attend?
Working bees are typically held twice a year to keep the lodge running. All members are expected to contribute.
Q · 04
Where do I check live snow conditions?
We pull live conditions from Whakapapa on the homepage. For up-to-the-minute lift status, the live Whakapapa website report is the source of truth.
