Loved it!

We had the best time staying at Mountain Lodge Sawmill Settlement. It had everything we needed plus more. It was lovely and warm and catered for the right amount of people. Even enough teaspoons for all!!! Tania was amazing to deal with. Highlight was the visit in the morning from the King parrots.

Perfect spot to head up onto the mountain

No long drive to head up to the mountain from here. Perfect location! The house was well equipped, functional and clean. Just what we needed. The drying room outside was a real bonus to dry out our wet ski gear. Very happy - can definitely recommend.

Snow Adventure

The property was great! host was patient and kind and answered all my questions. Her house was clean and had all the amenities and items we needed. She had board games for children and enough room for family and friends. The location was great, walking distance fro the bus stop going to Mt Buller. It snowed during the last day of our stay, which was magical for all of us.

Convenient location

Perfect location between Mansfield and the mountain its a great spot with everything you need. The dry room was great and it had plenty of beds for us all. I think the heating needs to be put up as at night it was quite cold for kida especially but thats the only downfall i can say. Also bring your own devices to watch reception and phone internet was perfect as the tv only has a few random chanels working.

Excellent location, lovely cosy home, perfect snow weekend

We stayed at this lovely cosy home for a family snow weekend away with two families, 4 adults and 6 kids. The home was perfect. Location was excellent, only minutes away from check in up the mountain. Located in a quiet lovely court, we loved sharing the property with the local Kookaburras and wildlife. Even skippy shared us a visit :) The home had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Kitchen was well stocked, lots of board games, darts, books to keep everyone entertained. The dry room was awesome and we used the 20% discount at the ski hire outlet at Mt Buller Village. Communication with the owner was also great, thank you. Would definitely return.

Great accommodation option for a snow trip

Very generous and effective dry room, especially for snow equipment. Since there are 4 bedrooms which can fit in a max of 12 ppl, it would be great if there is one more toilet in the property. If you require ski hire, they have 20% discount vouchers for Black Mountain Ski Hire, located in the Mt Buller village and this is definitely a bonus point for ppl who want to organise a snow trip. The owner should advertise this as a selling point in the description of the property:)

Snow trip

Accomodation was well stocked with all the little things you always forget. Great kitchen supplies meant we could eat how we normally cook as a family. Cabin was room so with 10 people in it you didn’t feel like you were on top of each other. Just a really good and homey place. We will book again.
