Hotham Aim Higher

Activities

Hot food...cool entertainment - guaranteed!
Hot food...cool entertainment - guaranteed!

After having fun on the slopes, we figure you'll have one thing on your mind - FOOD! (OK, and perhaps some 'refreshments'.)

Well, don't worry. You won't go without at Hotham. With over 20 cafés and restaurants (and a supermarket), it's simply a case of deciding what you're in the mood for.

Perhaps coffee and cake? Casual café cuisine? Hearty bistro? Sophisticated a la carte? There is even a Catering Service, whatever you like.

(And for those 'refreshments' we mentioned, drop into our pub. A great place to quench your thirst, meet up with people, and share the day's events).

And as for nightlife.party animals, get set to party! At Hotham, we believe the fun should continue after dark. There's always something on somewhere - a live band, a theme night, a dance party. (make note to self: sleep on bus on way home!).
