Dreamers Mountain Village

GAZE OUT AT SNOW DUSTED PEAKS in winter, crackly orange leaves in the fall and lush pastures in summer. Add a tranquil trout-filled lagoon, cosy log fires and double spa baths and you have Dreamers Mountain Village, tucked into the foothills of Mount Bogong.

Five distinctive dome-roofed chalets are set in five acres of river land rustling with wildlife. Pick the Lagoon chalet for absolute water frontage at Dreamers (throw a line and hook from your balcony), a sunken lounge and cosy wood fire. Cascades has a waterfall at your window, an awesome four-poster and a garden balcony, while the Glasshouse has a wrought-iron four-poster and unbeatable mountain vistas through a huge cathedral window.

A private footbridge leads the way to secluded Snow Gums (the honeymooners’ favourite) whose high points include an outdoor rock spa for starlit soaking, and a huge bed with gossamer drapes. Opt for the family-sized Barn and you have the wickedest glass bath. Bringing friends along? Opt for one of Dreamers' new three-bedroom eco-apartments.

Moonlit dinners on the jetty

How about a moonlit dinner for two on Dreamers' private jetty? Dine by candlelight in your chalet if the weather’s chilly. Hone your slalom technique on Falls Creek snowfields, try white-water rafting, four-wheel driving, mountain biking or hitch up a horse and wagon.
