    Riverside Cabins Thredbo

    The Thredbo Riverside Cabins are renowned for their exceptional location along the Thredbo River, within walking distance of the village square and ski slopes.

    Vortex Fire served as Bushfire Consultants on the project, undertaking comprehensive assessments of bushfire risk mitigation and loss reduction strategies tailored to the alpime setting. Our work encompassed considerations for enhancing the surrounding bushland, improving the cabins’ bushfire resilience, and facilitating effective fire service intervention. These measures were implemented without compromising the intimate, cosy aesthetic of the cabins or their integration with the natural environment.
