Both Perisher and Thredbo Lodges are amazing places to spend time. Members are actively encouraged to use the Lodges and recommend it to their family and friends.
The 2020-2021 Summer Season commences on 11 October 2021.
Access to the Lodges and the accommodation arrangements will be affected by Covid-19 and the associated public health orders. Even when vaccination thresholds are achieved, members and guests can expect that travel plans and Lodge operations may be altered at short notice by changes in public health orders.
As at the date of this notice, the public health orders that will apply when the Snowy Monaro and other relevant areas emerge from lock down have not been announced. The Club anticipates that ability to travel and visit venues will be linked in some way to vaccination status. It is also foreseeable that limits will apply on the number of people able to stay in certain types of accommodation.
The booking plan for this year is to take and allocate bookings in accordance with the usual booking priorities and process. The invoicing and cancellation policies will be the Covid -19 versions. Invoices will be issued when it is appropriate. The cancellation and refund policies will provide for full refunds for bookings affected by Covid-19 developments. It is important to note that allocations will be subject to the public heath orders. For example, if the subsequent health orders limit the number of guests, then your allocation may be affected or even cancelled. We will of course seek to resolve booking issues on a fair basis, in accordance with the Club booking priorities.
You should note that, because of Covid-19 situations or bush fire situations, the Club may be obliged to close at short notice at any time and you may not be able to stay. If a closure occurs for or during your booking you will be entitled to a refund of unutilised accommodation payments to the Club (see Cancelation Policy below), but the Club will not be refunding any payments you have made to other parties.
The Covid-19 Safe Operating Plan and Operational Procedures can be found here .

Your responsibilities include:
Please make yourself aware of the latest COVID-19 case and area restrictions as declared by NSW Health and other authorities when completing the Health Declaration. |

Booking Priority |
Bookings for Summer 2021-2022 accommodation will be made through our web-based Booking System. A refresher on how to use the system is outlined in Appendix.
The booking priority arrangements for Summer 2021-2022 are as follows:
Priority 1 Includes all Members and, where two members of the immediate family are Club Members (i.e. dual membership), the spouse plus all dependent children of that family booking who will be accompanied by the Member;
Priority 2 Includes the spouse and dependent children of a single Member who will be accompanied by the Member;
Priority 3a Includes Members’ independent children, friends and Members’ acquaintances who will be declared Temporary Members for the period of their stay at any Club Lodge and who will be accompanied by the Member;
Priority 3b Thredbo only. Includes Members’ independent children, friends and Member’s acquaintances who will be declared Temporary Members for the period of their stay at any Club Lodge and will NOT be accompanied by the Member.
Accommodation will be allocated by the Booking Officers so we can be sure that all bookings made are within the Club rules.
The Summer Booking Officer will allocate bookings as follows:
Priority 1, 2 and 3a bookings on 13 October 2021;
Priority 3b bookings on 20 October 2021.
To be considered for priority allocation, your booking request must be received by 9am on the day of allocation. Member priority rules apply up to and including 19 October 2021. Member bookings in excess of one week (cumulatively) at any time are NOT accepted until after 23 October 2021.
Members are also reminded of the POLICY REGARDING CANCELLATIONS. You may wish to consider travel insurance.

Booking Notes |
The demand for accommodation and/or the restrictions imposed by public health orders may mean that ballots are required to determine allocations.
A guest may not stay at the Lodges for more than two weeks in total over the 2021-2022 Summer Season without Board approval.
For the Xmas Peak and Easter periods, whole of Lodge requests will be considered in priority to individual room requests.
To accommodate Lodge cleaning, bookings may need to be separated by a clear day. At Thredbo, if the previous booking involves 4 rooms or less, it may be possible to schedule successive bookings without a clear day between the bookings. The Booking Officer will liaise with the Summer Caretaker to determine the scheduling requirements for cleaning.
Guest Responsibilities and Acknowledgement Forms and Health Declarations are to be completed before your stay. These form are available at http://dulmisonskiclub.com.au/accommodation-winter-summer/winter/http-dulmisonskiclub-com-au-wp-content-uploads-2020-06-dulmison-covid-19-safe-operating-plan-v1-1-18-june-20-pdf/ Booking confirmation emails will include instructions on when to complete and return these forms.
Room allocation is at the Booking Officer’s discretion and there is no guarantee requested rooms can be so allocated. Rooms cannot be changed without the Booking Officer’s permission.
Bookings by a Temporary Member for stays at Thredbo Lodge, unaccompanied by a Member, must be sponsored by a Member. At Perisher Lodge, Temporary Members must be accompanied by a Member.

Appendix 1 Dulmison Booking System |
Bookings for Summer 2021-2022 accommodation will be made through our web-based Booking System. A refresher on how to use the system is outlined below. For Members who have not yet used the system, you can make bookings online, view the status of your account at any time, and pay for bookings via credit card. Membership and family details are loaded into the system, as well as any rebate entitlement. The web-based Booking System is accessible through www.dulmisonskiclub.com.au under Accommodation>Bookings. At the login prompt, enter your member number and surname. If you don’t know your member number, simply click on “Retrieve Your Member Number” and an email will be sent to you with details.
The web-based booking request process has four steps.
|
Step 1: Nominate Lodge, dates and number of beds |
|
Step 2: Review booking and contact details |
|
Step 3: Booking status response and payment |
|
Step 4: Enter names of people staying |
Notes on each of the steps
Step 1: Nominate Lodge, dates and number of beds. For Thredbo, you may nominate car parks. Note that the dates are specified as first night and last night. (For example, a 7-day booking from Sunday to Sunday should be entered as Sunday night to the following Saturday night). Dates can be entered in the calendar grid or in the boxes beneath the calendar grid.
Step 2: Enter the names of the people who will be staying in this booking. Names of Members will be recognised. Names in the Member’s family and other guests will also be recognised if you have provided their details to the Booking Officer prior to making your booking request. (See below on providing family and friends details). Check the dates in the top left corner.
Step 3: Review the booking information and update contact details if required. Note that the Booking System is not set up to provide whole of Lodge tariffs as an option. Please use the comments box to make any requests for whole of Lodge tariff rates. The Booking Officer will adjust the cost of bookings for applicable whole of Lodge rates at the invoicing stage. Also use the comments box to provide additional information such as a second preference for Lodge or dates, double or twin beds requirements for each guest, and accessible bathroom (Perisher only).
The red banner at the top of the page will contain messages including wait listing, priority period and limits on bed nights. If the “Next step” button is not visible, your proposed booking does not satisfy the booking rules. You can revise the booking by clicking on “Previous step”. The booking rules are set out in this Summer Rates Notice and on the web pages accessible via www.dulmisonskiclub.com.au > Accommodation > Booking.
If all is in order, click “Next step”.
Step 4: For this season, all booking requests will be waitlisted, for subsequent allocation by the Booking Officer in accordance with the priority periods and the arrangements required by the Club’s COVID-19 Safe Operating Plan.
Note that at Step 4 you will be sent an email with your booking request details and status. If you don’t receive an email, your booking request has not been recorded in the system. Check your junk email box before contacting the Booking Officer.
You can view summary details of your bookings and initiate payment or cancellation requests through Manage a Booking>View My Bookings. You can update your personal details through Manage Account>View My Details. Key information about rates, bookings and cancellation policy can be found under the Ski Lodge Details tab. To change a booking please send your change request by email to the Summer Booking Officer.
Note that accommodation will still be allocated by the Booking Officers so we can be sure that all bookings made are within the Club rules.
Last year we invited Members to send details of your intended guests (family and friends) to the Booking Officer for pre-loading into the system. Once loaded, the details will be available in the system for all future bookings. If you haven’t already done so, please email your family and guest details now to bookings@dulmisonskiclub.com.au
- Name and gender;
- Relationship to you (spouse, dependent child, independent child, friends)
- Date of birth (for children under 25)
- For dependent children aged 21 to 24 inclusive and in full time study – something that confirms full time study status.
Family not pre-loaded into the Booking System will only have access to Temporary Member booking priority and rates, and the priority date (the date your booking is considered for allocation) for your overall booking will be deferred to the Temporary Member date, and will not benefit from priority.
If you have any questions or problems in using the new system, please email the Summer Booking Officer, Pip Bradhurst, at thecontact details below.
|
PLEASE NOTE THE NEW CONTACT EMAIL FOR BOOKINGS |
Alternatively, you may send your booking request by completing the Club Booking Form available at www.dulmsionskiclub.com.au>Accommodation>Booking Request Forms and sending it by email to bookings@dulmisonskiclub.com.au
Temporary Members (not part of a Member-made booking) will continue to submit their booking requests by Booking Form. Booking requests by Club Booking Form will be entered into the Booking System for allocations and invoicing.
As the season progresses, the Booking System displays room vacancy information, which is updated as booking requests are allocated.
