The Property - Cirque 5 is not a standard alpine rental. This custom-built, two-bedroom lodge in Merrijig was constructed around a full-scale, structural ski lift tower — it rises from the bathroom floor, through the hallway, and out through the roof. It is the backbone of the building, surrounded by ski memorabilia, stone, and timber finishes that bring the Alps indoors. 2.5 hours from Melbourne. Sleeps 4. The Experience - The entrance sets the tone immediately — a magnificent arched wooden double door with illuminated stained-glass panels welcomes you to the ground-floor apartment. Inside: two queen bedrooms dressed in French linen, wood-fired heating, fast Starlink internet, and a private terrace with a fire pit and gas BBQ framed by mountain views. Premium Grown Alchemist toiletries are provided as standard. Room Description - 2 Bedroom Apartment. The apartment is built around a genuine, structural ski lift tower — visible rising through the bathroom, the hallway, and out through the roof. This is not decoration. It is architecture. Two bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, French linen sheets, and a luxurious mattress topper. The living area features a large flat-screen TV and Starlink internet — fast enough for remote work. The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, refrigerator, kitchenware, toaster, and French press. The botanical-wallpapered bathroom features a full bath, shower, and premium Grown Alchemist body soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Wood-fired heating and a panel heater keep the lodge warm through alpine winters. In-unit washer and dryer included. Step outside to a private terrace, fire pit, gas BBQ, with mountain views.
