What is Resort Entry and why do we have to pay it?

Everyone that goes to Falls Creek during the Winter months needs to pay a resort entry fee. We collect it in our bus fare so that we don't have to waste time stopping at the pay station and then pay it later on your behalf. The fee has an important function – it covers such things as:

  • Falls Creek Ski Patrol;
  • Village snow clearing;
  • Traffic and car parking management;
  • Plus other services provided by Resort Management.

The fee is $18.50/adult and $9.50/child.

Can I rent ski gear in Mt Beauty or Falls Creek?

Yes you can. There are a number of options in Mt Beauty as well as in Falls Creek. There are 2 options right beside our Mt Beauty depot that many passengers choose to use due to convenience. We can point these out to you when you arrive at the depot.

Luggage allowance: 2 cases, 1 pair skis and boots per person. Extra luggage allowance can be arranged through the office should room permit, at no extra cost.

Will the bus wait if my plane is delayed, due to fog or other reasons?

We can wait for 5-10 minutes should you only be a little behind schedule, however we can not wait any longer as all our services link up with returning services. Should you miss your bus due to a delayed flight we simply put you on the next available bus at no extra cost. Call our office as soon as you know there is going to be a delay and we can start arranging another bus for you.

Are there seatbelts on the bus?

Yes there are, along with air-conditioning, reclining seats, DVDs and a friendly driver!!

Will there be a meal stop on the way to/from the snow?

When travelling to/from Melbourne, yes there will be. We stop at the Seven Creeks Hotel Euroa for half an hour. There are menus on board the bus and we ask you to call and order your food as we travel. Then when we stop your food is ready and waiting for you to collect, giving you plenty of time to eat it before re-boarding the bus.

Are there movies on the bus?

When travelling to/from Melbourne, yes there are. We watch one movie prior to our meal break and another after our meal break. Before you know it you've arrived at your destination!

Is there a toilet on the bus?

No there is not, as we have found it unnecessary due to our numerous toilet stops along the way. We also found in the past that passengers were unhappy about having to sit next to a smelly toilet all the way to Melbourne!! Plus removing the toilet gives us extra space in the coach.
