Chris and Karen were inspired by the holidays they often had at Trapdoor Ski Lodge in Mount Hotham with family and friends. The lodge had private rooms for guests to stay and shared living spaces. They have great memories sharing many communal meals with fellow travellers they hadn't met before.
With this experience in mind, Chris and Karen wanted to provide something in Bendigo that was more friendly than a motel and that aligned with their very strong environmental and community values.They bought the property as a standard 6 bedroom family home in 2014, and the challenge was on to turn it into something truly magic for their future guests.
