Great location, very relaxing stay with all the right amenities and beautiful surroundings. Only a stone throw away from Mt Buller and great walking trails. We would re-book on our next trip!

Lovely spacious weekend getaway. Comfortable beds & all the modern facilities needed for a weekend away from the big smoke. Nestled in the treetops with the beautiful wildlife on view. River close by ...with little rapids, the perfect spot to cool down on a hot day. Would love to visit in the wintertime. Thanks darren for being contactable & a gracious host.

Snow Sports At Mt Buller

With over 300 hectares of skiable terrain, there is something to appeal to all levels of ability. Mount Bullers runs range from the wide beginner’s slopes of Bourke St and Burnt Hut Spur, to the challenge of our black runs like Chamois. With 22 lifts, Mt Buller has the largest lift network in Victoria, including thirteen chairlifts (three of which are high speed detachables) four T-bars, two rope tows (counted as one) and four magic carpets. The resort features three Frank Terrain Parks designed for all skill levels, with a dedicated snow grooming team to maintain their condition.

Mountain Bike Riding Summer

In summer, Mt Buller's premier snow runs turn into the ultimate downhill mountain biking course with a variety of challenging technical trail features such as berms, ramps and jumps. Accessible by chairlift, Mt Buller has been operating as a downhill venue since the 1980s, offering generations of riders the chance to feel the ultimate downhill thrill.
