Accommodation on Siding Spring Mountain is at The Lodge, which is run by the Australian National University. Bookings must be made well in advance of your observing run.

The current Lodge tariff is $113.30 (including GST) per day, which covers meals, and can be paid by credit card (Visa/MasterCard/Bankcard), in Australian dollar traveller's cheques or in Australian currency. Personal cheques drawn on an Australian Bank are also accepted. Payment of tariffs must now be made upon departure, as we can no longer issue invoices for SSO Lodge services. Please indicate your method of payment on the form below. For credit card payments, in addition, please print the acknowledgement page generated for your booking request, fill out the credit card authorisation details and fax to the SSO Lodge on +61   2   6842   6252.

Partners can stay at The Lodge (1 or 2 larger rooms are available) for an additional charge (this covers the extra meals and linen required). There is also a self-contained cottage on the mountain for families; enquiries about its availability should be made directly to The Lodge staff
(Tel   +61   2   6842   6246,    Fax   +61   2   6842   6252).

Lodge staff are usually able to cater for special dietary needs or preferences, but prior arrangement should be made. Alcoholic beverages may be consumed at The Lodge, but strictly on a BYO (Bring Your Own, there is a bottle shop in Coona) basis. Two meals are prepared each day - a breakfast/lunch (you choose depending on your body clock - just let the kitchen staff know the night before) and dinner served before twilight each day. There is also a small kitchen available 24 hours a day where Lodge guests can make their own tea, coffee or breakfast if they choose. A "midnight lunch" is normally provided for observers to have with them at the telescopes.

The Lodge reading room has a range of recreational reading matter, including the latest newspapers. There is a small library of videos for those cloudy nights as well as a pool table and dart board in the recreation room. A washing machine, dryer and ironing board are also available.
