Trissana welcomes the use of the lodge by Members and their families throughout the year. Associates (non-members) as guests of members are also warmly invited to stay at the lodge.
The lodge is not open to the general public.
Please note that all bookings must be made through a Member or be made by contacting the Bookings Manager.
Clarification has been made to the Booking Rules to make it fairer to all Members. The Main Ski Season has also been reduced from 8 weeks to 6 weeks thus increasing the shoulder periods by one week. This change will provide reduced accommodation costs.
BOOKING RULES:
Member Priority Period - April
- Financial members may book accommodation for themselves and up to 3 others for one week only (in school holiday periods, the Booking Manager has discretion to increase this number if there are more than 2 children in the family).
- If this booking includes other members, then the booking is considered to be their week for priority booking. (i.e. 2 or more members staying together can only book for the one week).
- members select a 1st & 2nd preference for their accommodation and complete details on the Accommodation Booking Form
- At the end of April, members are notified of their allotted accommodation

- The balance of payment for accommodation to be paid 3 weeks prior to taking up occupancy of the Lodge.
- In the Main Season, if a booking is made for a week and members or associates leave early, the full accommodation weekly rate will be charged.
