Dinner Plain Accommodation

Dinner Plain is a 11km drive or bus ride from Mt Hotham. Most of the Dinner Plain accommodation is comprised of privately owned houses, chalets and apartments, so it’s well suited to families and groups. Dinner Plain also has several studio apartments that can cater to couples.

A bus service operates regularly to connect Dinner Plain and Mt Hotham, or it’s easy enough to self-drive between the two areas. The charming village is popular with families, and Dinner Plain accommodation consists of mostly houses so it's good for groups. One obvious con of staying in Dinner Plain is the daily travel required to get to Hotham Resort Ski Resort, but one advantage is that you can park your car right outside the door to your accommodation so there’s no hauling your gear up snowy steps or parking miles away!

Dinner Plain Accommodation Locations

Whilst the commercial precinct of Dinner Plain is very small (ie the village), the actual town is rather spread out. For many visitors, particularly those who largely want to stay in at night in front of the roaring fire, location may not matter that much. However in case you want to be close to “the action” or the ski slope, below is a brief overview of the different regions of Dinner Plain.

Central: For those that want to be close to the action and within stumbling distance of the restaurants and bars, stay in Dinner Plain accommodation along the northern part of Big Muster Drive or the lanes off it.

Eastern: Moving clockwise around the Big Muster circle, anything near Drybone Lane is within very easy walking distance of central Dinner Plain and is very close to the top of the ski run. At the end of this street is the handful of Dinner Plain houses that are considered to be ski-in ski-out to the Dinner Plain beginners’ run. In addition to parts of central DP, this area is considered to be the “old part” of Dinner Plain. Dinner Plain accommodation here is highly sought after for the proximity to the ski slope, traditional alpine architecture, the high country décor, and the gorgeously rustic chalets.

South: The southern part of Big Muster Drive is the furthermost part of town from the strip. This area tends to have some massive houses where you can really spread out, and some of the properties have views across to the national park.

Western: The western part of Dinner Plain (sometimes playfully known as the “western suburbs”) is the new part of town. The houses tend to be large and many of them have more urban and modern décor which is not quite in keeping with the high country décor seen elsewhere in DP.
