Frequently Asked Questions

1. HOW DO I GET TO THE APARTMENT ?

A Rideshare transfer will pick you up from your car park when available. Ask them to take you to the building your apartment is in, this can be found on your arrival information as well as directions from drop off to your apartment door. The Rideshare transfers can be pre purchased up to the day prior to your arrival or are paid at Resort Entry (along with your Overnight Parking fees).

YOU MUST call 03 57753112 as you are about to board the Rideshare. This will allow us time to send a representative to your apartment to provide the keys or send you the code for access by text. Please be very specific with your instructions to the driver. If the driver has any difficulties finding your apartment building, ask them to call us AMS Mt Buller on 03 5775 3112.

8. WILL THERE BE SNOW WHEN I WANT TO COME UP?

Mt Buller is very confident that there will be snow for your holiday. In fact, were so confident that we offer a Snow Guarantee on pre-purchased lift tickets and accommodation. So you can book accommodation and buy your lift tickets in advance through AMS Mt Buller and if the conditions are not up to scratch, you will get a refund, less a 25% booking handling fee on the accommodation (or at the discretion of management of a lower fee). Of course, some conditions apply (for more details on the Snow Guarantee, look it up on www.mtbuller.com.au or go to the Booking Conditions page). We think this is a great way to show you how confident we are that you will enjoy your holiday in the snow.
