We booked this trip for the early 10am slot. When we arrived we couldn’t go because of high winds although it was a beautiful crisp sunny day. The staff were amazing keeping us informed every half and hour so that we could go. Eventually at 12.30 we could go. It was an amazing experience as always. I take family here when they visit from the UK. The cafe was good too and reasonable for the experience Pumpkin soup for $10.50 and ciabatta bread. The staff were helpful so Thankyou team for another wonderful experience. Xx

The gondola / high tea combo was a good value deal for a unique celebration with overseas family (especially the 2pm deal through bookme) . Despite the top of the mountain being completely clouded in (no one can control mountain weather) we really enjoyed the feel of the space and the set up. Staff was attentive, quick to take our drinks order (huge pots of tea to keep you going and a good variety) and quick to deliver our high tea. It was a nice mix of savoury and sweet and everything (except the scones) tasted fresh and delicious. Only room for improvement in my view was the balance of savoury vs sweet and the number of items. Being a party of 4 adults and a child we were served two identical trays, so felt like there wasn't enough items to share for each and every one of us.

So glad we did this. Incredible views, snowball fights at the top, nice Cafe. The early gondola was the best ... less people overall. Our only disappointment was the Cafe had run out of bubbles to celebrate such a treat.

Went up at opening at 10am. Not too busy. Fantastic views. Opportunity for several walks. Charming, friendly operator at the base.

Delayed a bit due to high winds. Good communication and once it was opened we got going. Really awesome experience. We did it in March and the mountain looked amazing. Absolutely worth it.

Best trek ever!!!!

I haven't hike that long. I saw some beautiful places that I never imagine to exist... only in movies but they exist. The hardest part was the hail we got half way but that didn't stop me to reach the other side, it was worth it. I really hope to do it again and this time I hope it will be a little be warmer :) Thank you!!!

Awesome day!

The shuttle came on time in the morning and I was picked up at the end of the day when the first shuttle was full at around 3pm. We also got a popsicle which was more than welcome after a hot day. The driver was really nice and the weather was great for hiking. All in all, a perfect day! The only thing I regret is that I didn't think to download some Lord of the Rings soundtrack to listen to while hiking ?
