“I noted the convenience of being a short walk from Hotham's peak and a bus stop right outside. The spacious and clean rooms seemed ideal for families, and the bistro was often cited as a highlight, particularly its pizza. On-site ski hire, with helpful staff, added to the overall appeal of this mountain stay.”
