 In 2012, public accommodation returned to Kiandra with the opening of the restored Wolgal Lodge for bookings.The opening of the 1960s fishing cottage was in part conducted to create and demonstrate a market demand for Kiandra-based accommodation, which, according to the "Snowy Times", could prove a "market based argument for restoring the Kiandra Courthouse and Chalet for accommodation".Easter 2013 saw all four of Kiandra's buildings in public use for the first time in decades - with guided tours and exhibitions - including the Matthew's Cottage exhibition and the Pattinson's cottage house museum.
