Good accomodation, great location. The drying room didn’t work so that was disappointing. Despite following instructions, our gear was wetter in the morning.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2022
This home proved to be exactly what we were looking for, convenient access to skiing but far enough from the ski resort to provide the quiet, privacy and extra space that we were looking for. Lodging in a ski village is right for some, but if you're looking for a comfortable home atmosphere where you can make home cooked dinners while a toasty wood stove fire radiates warmth, this is the right home to stay. At check-in, the home was incredibly clean and the beds were made with impeccable attention to detail with super clean sheets. Stopping for groceries in Mansfield when coming from Melbourne for the stay here worked out perfectly. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, utensils, plates & silverware so we create dinner at the table. The following mornings, it was an easy ride to Mt. Buller for days of skiing. This home really made for such a great trip and adding a few cherished memories to the great pageant of life. After all, flying in from overseas after years of border lockdowns due to the pandemic, and not seeing my adult kids in 3+ years, my daughter and I were looking to do something special. She chose for us to go skiing, I chose this home and everything worked out magically.
