The lounge opens onto a private deck and garden which includes a barbeque. Features include TV/DVD & CD. 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.

The courtyard is fully fenced and well behaved pets are welcome.

This beautiful, peaceful town also offers plenty of entertainment and excitement!
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.
Looking for something a little more adventurous, take the world famous walk to Mt Feathertop. Or maybe one of the more gentle paths?
Cycle the Great Alpine Road or head up to Hotham for some skiing or mountain biking. Fishing, hiking, tubing, 4WDing, if you\'re only staying for the weekend, you\'ll be back!

Guest Reviews

 
  • "Better than expected family accommodation, and it was great value. Reasonable size bedrooms, excellent bathroom and kitchen, and the drying room was a bonus. The food from the restaurant in the same building was good, too. We'd stay here again."
