“This inn struck me as a particularly solid choice for outdoorsy families, especially given the range of room sizes. The bistro and general store create a village atmosphere right on site, and the proximity to Mount Buller simply cannot be overstated for winter sports. I was especially impressed by the extent of the owners' dedication; they clearly work hard to ensure a memorable visit.”

The Hunt Club steak was great. Friday night pizza from the restaurant was wood-fired. A gin bar is also available.

Parking was right outside the room, making it easy to get our luggage inside. A one-way road makes access simple.
