Facilities & Services

All the resort services and facilities at Treble Cone are situated within one large building at the base area of Home Basin. The upstairs area includes a café and small retail shop. The downstairs component includes lift ticket purchases, rental equipment, ski school and medical centre. The only toilet facilities are at the base, so if you’re skiing the Saddle Basin it’s a bit of a trek.

Eating On MountainThe large café sells a range of meals including the usual pie and chips, soups, hot mains, sandwiches, wraps, sushi and sweeties including yummy slices. For a resort cafeteria, it’s pretty impressive and the prices are very reasonable. There is a bar within the cafeteria, and coffee is available from an outdoor shack adjacent to the huge sundeck that overlooks the action on the slopes. Keas sometimes make the deck their home, so keep an eye on your food and your gloves.

Facilities for ChildrenTC do not offer child care for the full day and there is no child care for babies and infants. The Kitty Kat Club offers supervised indoor play for children aged 3-6 but this is for a maximum of 2 hours at a cost of $35 (2011 rate). Spaces can be limited and child care is offered on a first come first served basis.

Ski programs for children are called the TC Cat Club. This also starts from the age of 3 for skiing, and from the age of 6 for snowboarding. Treble Cone runs a full day program (if you call 5 hours a full day!) which is a rarity for New Zealand. The program also includes supervision over the one hour lunch break, which is also not that common in NZ. These programs are good value.

Ski SchoolFirst timer packages are reasonably priced at $99 which includes equipment rental, lift pass and a lesson. Standard adult 2 hour group lessons are provided for skiing or snowboarding, as are private lessons. Treblecone also has a range of specialised programs.See our NZ price comparison document to examine ski school costs for Treble Cone and other New Zealand ski resorts.

Ski and Snowboard RentalThe costs of ski and snowboard hire are pretty consistent with other large commercial NZ ski resorts. See our New Zealand cost comparison document for more information. As with other resorts, the costs per day are less the more days you rent.

Equipment rental at Treble Cone is more expensive than in Wanaka, but has the advantage of not having to transport your equipment up the hill, and the ability to change your equipment as required or desired. In case you want to use the equipment at another mountain, you can return it to a depot in Wanaka rather than taking it back to Treble Cone.

Banking and Internet FacilitiesCredit cards are readily accepted at the resort, and there are a couple of paid internet kiosks upstairs in the base building.
