We’re well into ski season, and one of the best winter pastimes has to be getting your gear together for a good ol’ fashion snow trip. Rugging up, pilling into your cars, and making that glorious trek through Victorian High Country into the mountains is a rite of passage, and what makes that trek worth it is having a cosy abode to call your own once you arrive.
The stays in Mt Hotham have just about everything to get you safe and sorted, so keep reading for a definitive list of the best Mt Hotham accommodation.
Absollut
Absollut has a truly stellar mountain view, so you know you’ll be waking up to a pretty sight. Spending all day on the slopes means you need a comfy retreat to head back to, and this apartment comes with a lift in the building to ease your aching feet, as well as being equipped with a spa bath to soak in, a balcony and a fully equipped kitchen. There’s also a gas fireplace in this Mt Hotham accommodation, a drying room and ski lockers so you’re fully set to handle all that winter throws at you.
Alpine Cabin
With ski-to-door access, Alpine Cabin is for the serious snow sporters out there. Free wifi, mountain views, even a spa and wellness centre—you can’t ask for much more than that. There’s even a heated pool in the building so you can relax those aching muscles after shredding up the snow. The cosy living rooms in this Mt Hotham accommodation leads to two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen.
18 Hotplate
The views are pretty spectacular at 18 Hotplate, and we’re not just talking about the view from the window. The space itself is gorgeous, with high ceilings, white wooden beams, airy and bright enough to make you feel warm and sunny, even on a cold winter’s night. There’s an outdoor heated spa if you’re feeling particularly spicy, perfect for a fun evening in the snow. The chalet is 3.5km from Mt Hotham, so still close enough without having every other visitor pass by your front door, and four bedrooms mean it’s great for a larger group.
Lindsay Lachen
Lindsay Lachen is as warm, inviting, and cosy as Mt Hotham accommodation comes. The terracotta brick walls and exposed timber ceiling is the quintessential snow cabin of your dreams, alongside the matching warm timber furniture and trimmings. 3.1km from Mt Hotham, it’s a short drive to head to the slopes. It’s also super spacious so you won’t feel cramped at all—plenty of room to stretch your legs after your long day on the snow.
The Penthouse
Okay, we know The Penthouse is a little bougee, but hey, we all deserve to splurge on ourselves from time to time. This wide, spacious Mt Hotham accommodation has a gorgeous, exposed timber ceiling, crisp white walls, and light wood furniture, giving it a distinctively Scandinavian feel. It fits up to 10 guests, so perfect for a group of friends for a snow getaway. Renovated this year, and only 350m away from the main car park, this is surely a perfect Mt Hotham accommodation.
Fountains 4
Calming neutrals await you at Fountains 4. The living room is dressed in tones of pale pinks, light browns, and sweet beiges, so you’ll be living your best winter palette life here.

There’s also a snowmobile service to get your luggage over to the residence, so that’s one less struggle for you.
Nolyski
A four-bedroom chalet, Nolyski has a sauna, mountain views, and the cutest red tile kitchen, oh my. The dining table in the spacious living room is right next to two floor-to-ceiling windows, meaning you have a picturesque view of snow-capped mountains right at your fingertips. In case you get too damp up on the snow, there’s a washing machine inside this Mt Hotham accommodation to keep your gear clean and fresh.
