Heating of Edski Lodge is by a hydronic boiler, the boiler is set to come on at specific times in the morning and of an evening, each room has a wall radiator which has a valve on it to control how hot the radiator gets when the boiler is active. For times when the boiler is not active, the main living area can be heated via the wood fireplace. We have found that temperatures at Mount Baw Baw during summer are adequate for this limited use of heating and the lack of air conditioning. The reason for limiting the heating use is due to the cost of gas within the alpine resort (we are not connected to mains). There are 2 main bathrooms for guests to share, 1 female and 1 male, each with 3 showers and 2 toilets. Note that in the female bathroom, there is a shower with a base designed to be used as a small baby bath. Finally please note that there are no super markets, general stores or petrol stations at Mount Baw Baw, you should stock up and bring everything that you need for your stay. There is a restaurant in the resort, bookings are essential during summer to make sure they will be open.
