Six Adults stayed in Snow Brainer (62 to 70 yrs old) plus 2 Samoyeds. Snow an unexpected joy, except snow chains had to be on & together with a bad accident going up Mt Hotham about 30km/hour up 29 kms of road. Ended with 2 car loads arriving in the dark. NO handrails up front stairs! Very scary! Because of snow parking was a problem. Once in it is very nice, but the third bedroom was so small you have to go outside to change your mind and it meant someone over 60 having to climb up the bunk bed. Missing a few luxury items like tissues, soft cloth for cleaning down surfaces, electric blankets on beds, extra bath mat and towels etc. We could not get the heater/log fire up stairs working (no instructions). This place would be great for young families or young people. Outlook was very enjoyable.

Loved the SnowBrainer given the perfect location for warmth, beauty and comfort as our snow vacation home. Would certainly callout the proximity to all activities at dinner plain and mount Hotham a plus yet a very reasonable stay for your family with pets. The property owners and managers have been very communicative and helpful, sure could help with some loyalty points for our next visit as we can see for a return soon. We would highly recommend the SnowBrainer for all seasons.

My family and I took our German shepherd to the snow for the first time and he absolutely loved it. We also loved how clean and nice the property was. It was warm and very accomodating. The only issue we had was with the fridge it was only cooling the items at the back and not at the front. But other than that it’s an amazing place to stay at !!! I definitely recommend staying here. I’ll definitely be rebooking again for next year !
Thanks Josie ! You were also very easily to communicate with and very prompt!!

We had a stellar time at Dinner Plain & a wonderful stay at ‘SnowBrainer’. We arrived later than planned and it was so lovely to find lights & the gas fire on for us. It felt like home from the moment we arrived. The beds are very comfortable and bedding warm & snuggly. The kitchen & bathrooms are well appointed with clean modern fixtures & fittings and very comfortable. While certainly not a negative (it makes for a delightful view), do be aware that the property is 3 storeys and the stairs are quite steep. The timber outdoor entry stairs can also get very slippery after a little snow and there is no handrail, so just be extra careful when it’s icy. We just loved our stay and can’t wait to return - hopefully next year.

It was the family's first time in dinner plain. Everything was spot on and location wise since we go to hotham and snow board almost everyday we can easily catch a bus to and back. The chalet is clean, cosy and super warm even when we can see the snow falling outside the window. The view is superb. It is packed with amenities and you can easily contact the owner if you have any questions during your stay. We will definitely be back again and I can't wait.

Snowbrainer is a lovely property and we enjoyed out time there with family and friends.
The layout is good and makes the most of available space. The living area and kitchen is mid level between 2 floors so be aware there are flights of stairs without handrails which may be awkward for some. The main bedroom on the top floor is huge with its own on-suite. The bottom floor serviced the entry, bathroom, 2 bedrooms one with a double bunk and not much room for anything else,
while the other bedroom sleeps 3 and is quite sizeable.
We did have one major issue which was repaired. We tried a number of times to contact the host during our stay regarding this issue and others to discuss the circumstances but unfortunately we are yet to receive a reply. There are numerous maintenance issues requiring attention. While some are easy fixes others would be awkward to address with a constant flow of guests coming and going.
The property offers a great little getaway.

Beautiful property in an amazing location, we were warm and snug and able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Wish we’d packed more power boards, especially for the kitchen, which was quite hard to use at night, and wish the foyer and drying cupboard had enough space for everyone (we didn’t fill the house, but boy did we fill the drying cupboard!). The selection of games and dvds was great when we needed some downtime and next time we’d love to use the fire pit outside too.

Great Location / Pet Friendly
The property is very well located - close to both the DP walking track & National Forest tracks. Super easy & close access to the Mt Hotham bus stop & shops; being pet friendly always gets bonus points from us and our Goldie loved experiencing the snow with us! Very much appreciated the shower gels as well as it was the one thing we forgot to pack! Only one small niggle was the smart lock - not sure if it was the cold that effected it or it just didn’t like us, but it was quite the battle to both lock & unlock - however we always managed to get it to do what we wanted eventually! :)

Lovely chalet with perfect spot in the snow.
The Chalet was nice with lots of extras to make a cosy home away from home. There were a few issues in regards to no internet for the first couple of days but this was then fixed by accomodation manager. Also needed to be cleaned better as lots of dust and walls haven’t been washed in high traffic areas. Fridge needed a good clean. A few condiments in kitchen out of date and need replacing. And I had to wash some pots and plates before initial use. Higher level of cleaning required to get it up to par with cost. Bedrooms were comfy with plenty of extra blankets. Extra towels per person would be ideal. Overall pleasant stay and the kids really enjoyed the snow experience

This apartment was perfect for our family. Really clean and well presented, with everything we could need. A short walk to Restaurants and bars. Great walking and biking right outside the door. We all loved our stay and want to come again in winter.

Beautiful location and nice property to stay; however, illegal stairs with no handrails as required by Building Code of Australia, makes an unsafe venue for your family.
