Avalon House is an historic 1880s building with extensive gardens running to the Ovens River. Apart from the accommodation described below the property has operated with a cafe, serviced office facilities, and meeting and conference areas. These areas are not currently under operation but may open for functions or events if required.
Avalon Rest, opened in April 2006. It is designed for families but also offers a romantic retreat. It can accommodate six people. It features a main bedroom with queen bed, second room (with a double loft bed and two full-size single beds) and a queen size inner sprung sofa bed in the lounge.

The bathrooom features a two person corner spa with twin overhead shower heads for cosy showering, there is also a drying room. The unit features central heating through the cooler months and stays comfortably cool in summer.

Perhaps you could stroll down to the old swimming hole for a dip and a BBQ of fresh fish you\'ve caught. \'Tronoh Lake\' has a jetty for fishing & dipping your toes in as well as a pontoon for the adventurous swimmer or you could just find a private spot along the River. Make your way back past the ice creamery for a home made ice cream and a play at the park. While your at it check out the historical museum before stopping off at one of the cafes for a fantastic coffee. As the sun sets over the mountains, relax on the balcony of one of two hotels and sip a glass of local wine.
