Motel software for Snowy Mountains operators

Snowy motels sit mostly in Jindabyne and Berridale, down the hill from the resorts, and they serve a wider crowd than the lodges up top. In winter that means skiers who would rather drive up each morning than pay on-mountain rates, families on a budget, and seasonal workers who have not yet found housing. Outside winter the trade is travellers on the Alpine Way and the Monaro Highway, walkers, anglers and contractors. A motel there is usually owner-run with a small team, and the front desk does everything.

Winter bookings at a Jindabyne motel arrive two ways at once: school-holiday blocks booked months ahead by families, and short weekend stays booked the week the snow report looks good. Minimums lengthen over the holidays and long weekends and drop back to a single night on quiet mid-week dates. In summer the motel trades more like a highway motel, with one-night stays, walk-ins and phone bookings, and the stay rules all but disappear. The desk ends up running two different rule sets a few months apart on the same rooms.
