Property Description
There is lots of open space right at the door step - perfect for family snow-play. Located near the heart of the village, it’s an easy walk to restaurants, bars, convenience store, ski hire outlets and shops. The Mount Hotham shuttle bus is a short stumble away, or if you’re new to skiing the Dinner Plain beginner run is nearby.
The space
This three-bedroom lodge is spacious, has all the amenities you need, and is packed to the rafters with alpine charm. The slow combustion wood heater with local stone hearth will keep you toasty warm on frosty winter nights and electric panels in every room provide superior comfort. Spread across three levels, the lodge comfortably accommodates 10 guests.
Ground floor: A gentle set of steps bring you to the front door. The generous entry lobby has seating for you to do up your boots, drying room with plenty of space to hang all your ski outerwear and a fully equipped bathroom/laundry with shower, toilet, washing machine and dryer. Through a doorway you’ll find the large open plan kitchen/living/dining area is complete with all the creature comforts. The kitchen has an electric oven and stove, Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, pantry and all the crockery and glassware you’ll need. The large sofa and LCD flat screen TV make family movie nights a pleasure, or curl up in one of the cozy window seats with a book and enjoy the snowy outlook from the warmth of inside. The rear deck has a built in BBQ and is a great place to enjoy your gorgeous surrounds.
First floor: The master bedroom has a king sized bed (which can be split into two singles upon request), two bedside tables with drawers and hanging space. The family bedroom has a queen sized bed, also with bedside tables and hanging space, and through the archway there are another two single beds. The family bathroom sports a luxurious corner spa bath (with shower overhead) and the separate toilet means there’s no need for interruptions.
Loft: Come up the stairs (no ladder climbing required) and turn one way for two single beds, or the other direction reveals a king sized bed (which can be split into two singles upon request). There is also an LCD flat screen up here – a great spot for kids to have their own entertainment getaway.

Very nice and cosy house to stay, I like the kitchen most it has everything I need for cooking. Only one thing I am not very happy with is that the shower screen door on ground floor cannot close, water goes down on the floor when someone is having a shower.

Magical getaway
Wonderful cozy stay in the snow. Very clean cabin with everything you'd need. Bit tight in the kitchen for large groups but didn't take anything away from the experience. Would definitely come back again!

Perfect family base for snow adventure
Echo Base was the perfect accommodation for two families to share, while enjoying the snow for the first time. Jessica is a wonderful host who responds very quickly to any questions. We cannot wait to return to Echo Base and Dinner Plain in the future.
