How did we pick these Mount Buller hotels?

Our editorial team selected the Mount Buller hotels on this list based on price, location and real customer feedback from hotel booking sites and review platforms. Where applicable, we used our own personal experiences to make recommendations.

Best Mt Buller accommodation on the mountain

Mt Buller Ski Resort sits on the foot of the mountain and is home to dozens of accommodation ranging from hostels to luxury hotels. In fact, they're so conveniently placed that they offer ski-in/ski-out from their front doors.

Some of the best as rated by guests on Hotels Finder are Hotel Pension Grimus, Breathtaker Hotel and Spa, Amber Lodge and Alberg Hotel Mt Buller.

Best cheap Mt Buller accommodation

In between the transport, accommodation, equipment hire and lift passes, the cost of ski trips can rack up. But if you're not fussed about shared accommodation you can score a bed for as low as $270 per night in the city centre with Amber Lodge. If there's a group of you, Ski Club of Victoria - Ivor Whittaker Lodge has triple rooms from $480 (or $160pp). If you're driving in and are willing to stay a little further out you can get that down to $144 per night at Riverhouse at Howqua Dale.

Prices are for a night's stay on 23 July 2020 and are correct as at 26 February 2020.

Best luxury Mt Buller accommodation

Comfortable rooms, indoor pools and spas to rest your weary legs in are exactly what to expect from luxury accommodation on the mountain. Mount Buller Chalet & Suites might not be on the mountain but it has a peaceful setting, sauna, pool and in-house restaurant. To be closer to the action, 4-star Breathtaker Hotel & Spa has wonderful views of the mountain, a pool and spa treatments while Hotel Pension Grimus has spa tubs with jets in every room.

Best Mt Buller accommodation for families

While most hotels in Mt Buller are family-friendly, it's the little extras that really make some hotels sing. For example, Alpine Retreat has ensuite bunkbeds for families of 4 and 6 and a games room. Another option is Arlberg Hotel where kids can stay free with bookings of two or more nights in select rooms. It has a kids' chill area as well as a restaurant with kid-friendly meals.

Alternate accommodation in Mt Buller

For a less traditional experience both Airbnb and Stayz operate in Mt Buller offering homestyle accommodation. This can vary from a spare room to an entire household that can host large groups of 10+ people.

A minimal number of homestays are available in Mt Buller itself. If they're booked out and you're driving in, try searching for rooms down the road in Sawmill Settlement.
