    Fine and acceptable if you just want a basic room and prepared to walk into village for food/drinks.

    • Twin Room with Balcony

    Whilst there is an on-site restaurant (which is good when you don't want to venture out into the village in the evening), it is quite pricey (minimum is a 2 course set meal) - the food is delicious but it's probably not where you want to eat every night. The lounge/bar is just a room with a few sofas, and the 'bar' facilities is only open when the restaurant is, so not all together conducive to a fun place to hang out and have a few drinks. The twin room is fine but it's one queen bed with a single bunk above it with not much space - would be very cramped with three people, and if you're two friends staying together then just be aware one bed is the single bunk suspended over the queen. Staff are all predominately on working holidays (to be expected in a ski village) so service was a bit hit and miss - some were friendly and very helpful, whilst others were clearly not interested and just wanted to be out on the slopes themselves, again this is to be expected in this area so can't really complain but just be aware and not expect top class service.

    Great ski hire on the property - very easy and convenient to get organised for the slopes on arrival, good ski room and drying room facilities. Shuttle bus stop right outside accommodation, and a moderate walk into the village that was completely fine when not in ski boots. Room was clean and completely acceptable. Overall, a fine and decent place.

    The drying room was quite warm enough especially a day on the slopes on rain & snow showers.

    The restaurant at the Duck Inn was excellent & the food was delicious. A great atmosphere too!

    Room was smaller than looked in picture, rubbish fell out of the extra blanket when we opened it. No toilet paper found on arrival to our room Listed as balcony, but was a balcony that had an exit stairwell which had other guest bedrooms attached.

    Location was good, easy access to the slopes and a 2 minute walk to the general store. We found it nice to go snow trail walking on the summer bike track just down the road from the hotel. Great views from our room.

    Unfortunately that property is very dated and the rooms so very small. Decor was also quite dated. And not that you spend a lot of time in the room but you still want to be comfortable . There was no table to even place your phone on apart from a small side table . A tiny wardrobe which also acted as a coffee and tea making facility . We also didn’t think it pleasant to be staying in a room that was showing signs of plaster repairs . Plaster simply patched and no even painted .

    We found the staff at the facilities so very helpful, very kind and very patient considering it was our first time to the snow and to Mt Buller . They were so friendly as were the staff in your restaurant …. We felt like nothing we asked for was too much trouble …everyone we dealt with was wonderful.

    The breakfast was pretty terrible to be honest. We went the first day and then not again because there were so few options. Need to provide proper coffee, more options and start serving at 7am.

    Things felt clean (though run down). It's just good enough compared to everything else on the mountain.
