Welcome 2025 Managers!
We introduce and welcome Pierre & Mélina as our new Lodge Managers. Pierre and Mélina are a French couple exploring Australia. Here's how they introduce themselves...
As a French parisian couple who arrived in Australia nine months ago in search of adventure, discovery, and meaningful connections with Australians, we've found Illabunda Lodge to be our warm and welcoming home for the winter season.
Pierre is a trained chef and experienced waiter in France, while Mélina holds a degree in sociology and worked in fashion retail. Since arriving in Australia, we’ve both gained experience in hospitality : working with an Aboriginal community in South Australia and by the sea in Queensland.
Now, we're thrilled to begin this new chapter in the mountains. We’ve always had a deep love for snow and everything that comes with it : fresh mountain air, peaceful snowy landscapes, and the joy of sharing warm, comforting moments with others. Winter is one of our favourite seasons, and we feel truly at home surrounded by snow and the cosy atmosphere it brings.
We also share a strong passion for guest service, and we’re excited to create a welcoming and memorable experience for everyone who stays at Illabunda Lodge.
