For après, The Villager restaurant has an extensive wine list and craft beers on tap.

Snap on your skis and glide straight onto the main ski run at the top of Bourke Street from this family-friendly hotel. Accommodation options include motel rooms, one, two- and three-bed apartments and luxury apartments. As well as underground car parking, there’s a restaurant, laid-back sports bar and rooftop deck with panoramic views – best enjoyed with a steaming cup of joe or cold beer.

Families and groups of friends are well catered for at this homely, seven-bedroom, five-bathroom retreat.
