The Avenue Ski Club

The lodge

In arguably the finest location on Mt Buller: ski out–ski in beside the Bourke Street run, with the village a short walk away.

Thirteen en-suite rooms sleeping two to six; a lounge with a stone open fire; dining looking out over the Bluff; a full communal kitchen; drying room; ski store; TV room; games room; spa; and a kids' play room. In winter the lodge is managed, and linen and breakfast basics are provided.
