Rivergum Lodge is an exceptional choice for a stay in the Snowy Mountains (30 mins to ski tube entrance, 15 mins to Jindabyne town centre) This retreat excels in accommodating every need, offering a beautiful, homely atmosphere with fireplaces and charming touches throughout. The hosts — Kerrin, Mick, Graham, and Aya — are welcoming, warm, and friendly, demonstrating incredible patience and adaptability, even with our large school group of over 35 people. They went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment.
The lodge is well-equipped, featuring a drying room, clean bathrooms, comfy beds, and delicious food. The craftsmanship is remarkable, with the building’s history adding to its charm, as it’s constructed from materials sourced from the very block it stands on.
We are already planning our return and highly recommend Rivergum Lodge for any group, whether it’s a large school group or a private family gathering. Thanks to the Rivergum team, until we meet again!the best to me. Highly recommended!

We had such an awesome experience at Rivergum on our recent family trip. So much room for everyone, beautiful atmosphere, killer fireplace for everyone to gather around and an overall beautiful weekend. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended!
Incredibly authentic and genuine hosts. We have been so fortunate to have been guests of these hosts many times and you could not find more genuine and caring people – always going that extra mile, above and beyond. Rivergum Lodge is about as authentic as they come, and it evokes a time when people were happiest socialising, sharing fun and having a laugh with each other. It’s a fabulous base for families, friends or other larger groups – totally safe. Such a relaxed, warm, cosy and homely place. Are guests asked to remove footwear to avoid carrying in mess from outside? Yes. Is that such the big deal as some past reviewers have inferred? Absolutely not – it adds to the cleanliness, homeliness and relaxed atmosphere! Catering here is wholehearted and FAB-U-LOUS! Everywhere is kept clean. The open wood fires constantly add warmth. This lodge is huge and would lend itself so well to weddings, family gatherings and other milestone celebratory events. (In fact, we’re aware some have already taken place here). Sadly, Rodney – the larger-than-life character who had established Rivergum – is evidently no longer with us. But the warmth of his spirit and generous nature live on with the current owners and management. Wonderful place, wonderful people. Go stay there – unless you’re the ‘maist crabbit’ type, who expects others to fawn at your feet, you’ll not be disappointed.
Amazing stay at the Rivergum lodge, felt extremely welcomed by host Mick. Highly recommend this lodge if you are heading to the snow or just want to get away for the weekend. Great, cosy facilities for a winter getaway.
Great to see Rivergum going again, emerging from Covid and channelling the spirit of Rodney. The new crew , Mick and Kerrin are very friendly and have heaps of tales and stories to entertain the guests. Mick kept the big open fire roaring along which went down well with a nice red.
I’ve been coming here for many years with a school ski trip and it is perfect. The staff are great and the facilities are maintained perfectly. Spacious common area with TV, pool table and table tennis table. Highly recommend.
We stayed over the long weekend, had a fabulous stay. The food was homely and great portions, with dessert also supplied if your stomach has room. The atmosphere is very inviting with log fires keeping you nice and toasty. Would continue to go here for as long as possible. Recommended!

Amazing beautiful quiet relaxing place to stay . So happy to see this place back up and carrying on the tradition of the Legend Rodney Rocket.
This is an amazing Lodge with a huge open fire place to sit around on the very comfortable and ample lounge seating. There are two wood burning stoves pumping out heat creating a lovely cozy atmosphere in this big open wonderfully made space .With huge long natural wooden gum tree table tops lined up like a scene from Game of Thrones makes this a fantastic friendly place for everyone to sit around and enjoy a meal at the end of a big day on the slopes.
The hosts are truly heartful family folk who can’t do enough for you and are more than happy to show you around the big brand new kitchen, it even has a chargrill.
There is a very big drying room heated by the fireplace that easily dries your snow attire overnight.
Yes there are some rules ( I have seen some other negative comments) but these keep the place clean and at a standard that everyone can keep coming back to enjoy. I have no problem with bringing a pair of indoor UGGs or slippers, if everyone came straight inside in their snow shoes the glistening clean floor would be filthy slip hazard in no time.
The rooms are basic lodge rooms with very comfortable beds and very warm heaters, the bathrooms are very clean and also have warm heaters along with that wooden cabin vibe.
Less than 10 minutes to Jindabyne, the value for $$ makes it my favourite place to stay when heading to Thredbo/Perisher.
There are a few real log cabins available as well , I have stayed in these with their own open fire places they are beautiful and very romantic if travelling with your partner.
