Falls Creek is a year-round resort with a good range of accommodations. It tends to fill up fast during the ski season. As you might expect, room rates are much higher during the ski season. Falls Creek Central Reservations (tel. 1800/033 079 in Australia, or 03/5758 3733; www.fallscreekreservations.com.au) or Falls Creek Reservations Centre (tel. 1800/453 525 in Australia or 03/5758 1050; www.fallscreek.com.au) can tell you what deals are available.

If you fancy a self-contained apartment or free-standing chalet, try the Frueauf Village complex (tel. 1300/300 709 in Australia; www.fvfalls.com.au). These 28 properties were built in 2002. The smallest unit, basically a nice studio, costs A$554 per couple for a 2-night stay, including breakfast, in the earliest and latest part of the ski season and jumps to A$1,212 for 2 nights at peak times.
