About this house rental
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.

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.

ECHO BASE was a lovely chalet that was perfect for our family of 5 adults & 5 kids. The Fireplace got a workout and the heating through the whole house was so good. 2 showers & toilets were a bonus and the 3 levels allowed us to have our own space. Jess the manager was great to deal with answered my calls every time. Will definately be back xx

Stayed with mine and my sisters family, house sleeps 10 comfortably, away from everything, kicked back and played games and chilled, went for long and short hikes.
Well equipped kitchen, kept us all well fed.
Quite far from the shops so bring everything you might need.

Previous reviews have been glowing for this property, and we're happy to report it was even better than we expected.
The layout is great, it's perfectly set up with everything you need... We brought our own slow cooker to find there were 2 there already!
Great location, great communication and a perfect place to stay while skiing at Mt Hotham. We'll certainly recommend to others.

Relaxing break
The location was just what we were after, low key break to relax, go for walks and read books. The house was big enough for a large group of people to have their own space, and was well supplied with kitchen utensils which was great as we cooked a lot. We hadn’t been to Dinner Plain or Hotham previously so we were not aware that it is difficult to buy provisions, even basic items are difficult to get, eg butter and fresh milk. There is a supermarket but not operating at present, this was at Easter. Hopefully it will have an operator soon. We really enjoyed our stay.

Snow stay
Homely, comfortable, spacious, well equipped kitchen, warm and cozy, great location. Great communication from host. Good value for money.
10.0
Echo Base located in a very convenient place. Close to bus stop, toboggan slope, shopping Center ect. The house is not cold at all even without heaters. Kitchen is full of all the utensils. Remember there are 4-5 toboggans for you to use which is not mentioned in the house description. Beds are comfortable and new. I love the place and the host replies you promptly for all your questions.

Stunning place to stay
The moment we entered Dinner Plain, it was surrounded by fog and was looking like a fairy tale place. We loved our stay and enjoyed everything.
The only negative bit was that WiFi was not activated for some reason that gave us a bit of trouble but I would still give 5 stars... :)
