Do you go to the supermarket and not know what to buy or where to even begin? People might feel like that when they book Lantern Thredbo accommodation. Too much choice can paralyse one into indecision. Some people are not big fans of asking holiday management for clarification of room layout, amenities, location, whether it has a car space or how far the apartment is from restaurants or shops.
The Lantern Thredbo Apartments have a range of four star self-contained apartments in Thredbo that suit families, couples or groups and it really does matter what guests prefer in terms of price, walking distance to restaurants or slopes to get the right apartment for what they plan on doing activity wise. Here is a snapshot of the Lantern Thredbo Apartments to help guests find right holiday accommodation to suit their needs.
Banjo 2 bedroom plus loft[/caption]
Banjo Apartments are higher up the mountainside on the Alpine Way as guests drive into Thredbo. Just a short stroll to the Lantern Apartment office and close to Black Bear restaurant.

- Banjo Apartment 3 has great views, a queen bed in the loft area, a single bed downstairs but no bath.
- Banjo Apartment 4 has a double fold out couch, one queen and one king. Both Banjo 3 and 4 have parking spaces.
Lantern Apartments[/caption]

Lhotsky Apartments[/caption]
Lhotsky Apartments are about halfway up the mountain, above the duck pond, just a few minutes walk down to the cafe for coffees in the morning in the village plaza area.
- Lhotsky Apartment 3 is spacious enough to accommodate a larger family. ?It has a small balcony overlooking the village green through the gently waving trees, a king zip bed in each bedroom, the ubiquitous sofa bed?and one spa bath. It would be a good apartment for family with 3 or 4?kids . It is above the duck pond and the pump truck and playground and just two minutes walk from the Knickerbocker restaurant, or the ?village square.
- Lhotsky Apartment 9 has a king split ?bed, sofa bed??but no bath and ?views filtered through trees rather than the sweeping mountain views of the higher apartments. It has a spacious lounge though and it is closer to the base of mountain. It would be a good apartment for crashing with a mate when your focus was more on activities and drinks than on sitting around the apartment gazing at the mountain.
- Lhotsky Apartment 7 is similar to apartment 9. You can sit outside on the table and chairs on a little patio and look down to the village green, which is nice, particularly in the sun in the afternoon or early evening.
Elevation Apartments[/caption]
Elevation apartments are modern apartments located one minute walk from Black Bear restaurant about mid-way up the hill.
They are close to the Lantern office and further away from the noise of the pubs below. Apartments 1 and 2 are?Penthouse style on the entry level which is straight off the carpark at road level. ?The views are as good as the Lantern but these apartments are much bigger and more modern in decor with plenty of nice features like gas fireplaces, spa baths, built in expresso machines etc.
Managing Expectations
Whether a holiday is one night or 10 nights the success rests on management of expectations. No different to relationships or life in general. Managing expectations is a good thing as guests know what to expect in advance and make sure they have the appropriate equipment. For example, an apartment with a shower but without a bath may suit adults rather than small children used to being bathed as part of their nightly transition to sleep routine. An apartment without a car space is going to be cheaper, but guests need to then anticipate one of their party parking the car in one of Thredbo?s free overnight??parking bays after unpacking luggage.Banjo Apartments

Steamboat Apartments
These apartments are mid-way up the hill, just a very short walk down to the village area for coffees and access to restaurants and bars. Apartment 7 is straight off the street level with just a few stairs and a car space. There are two toilets in the apartment, two king size beds and two single beds. It would suit a family well, the decor is modern and funky with a lovely verandah.Lantern Apartments
The Lantern Apartments building, where the office is located, is higher up the mountain, easily accessible driving into Thredbo on the Alpine Way. In the winter months a free shuttle bus gets guests easily up and down to the base of the mountain every 10 to 15 minutes. ?All but one Apartment have lovely mountain views. The 3 bedroom, 2 bederoom, 1 bedroom plus loft and one bedroom deluxe apartments all have onsite parking. ?The standard one bedrooms do not. ??This means that in peak periods cars for these apartments with parking in one of the free overnight areas in the village, ?between 2 and 10 minutes walk from the building. ?However a free shuttle bus in winter helps with this transfer.?? The best strategy is to have one of your party unpack the luggage from the car closest to your apartment door, one person goes to park the car while the other person takes the luggage in. It is fairly standard practice in Thredbo, as well as Perisher and many other snow resorts, as parking spaces are at a premium. [caption id="attachment_6579" align="alignleft" width="300"]
