  • Located only minutes from the Mt Buller Entry Gates, Sawmill Retreat can cater for 2 families with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
    With the lovely wood fireplace in the main living are and all bedrooms having wall heaters, you wont go cold in the high country winter.

    In winter, take the 'very' short drive to the Mt Buller Entry Gates for a day of skiing, boarding and snow play.
    Upon returning home, leave your snow gear to dry in the designated drying room, pop on a movie and unwind in front of the cosy and warm fireplace in the living area.
    Take a soothing bath before heading to bed. All bedrooms have wall heaters which is perfect for a winters night.

    In summer, head out for a bush walk, dip the feet in the Delatite River close by or for the avid water lovers, head to Lake Eildon which is perfect for fishing, swimming and water sports. Ample parking for boats and trailers at Sawmill Retreat.
    Come back and relax on the decking listening to the BBQ sizzle away.

    Being pet friendly, your dogs can also enjoy their stay in the fully fenced yard.

    Sawmill Retreat is a great base to explore everything the High Country Mountains, Rivers and Lakes have to offer. Or simply stay at home and enjoy all the property has to offer; majestic sunrises, sunsets and stargazing at the endless High Country sky.

    Just minutes Mt Buller, this is the ideal location for summer or winter activities & is the perfect house for a couple's getaway or for your next family holiday.

Wonderful stay! Our little ones loved feeding the birds and seeing all of the wildlife! So close to the snow, but far enough to enjoy nature! Will definitely book again!

Fantastic stay, short trip to interschools at Mount Buller. House has everything you need, very clean. Kids enjoyed the wild life visitors. We arrived quite late, lights were on, very welcoming, thank you. Would definitely book again. Two little side comments that do not take away how great the house was. It could have been me, but couldn’t get the TV stations to work, possibly a guide, and there was no coffee, ( I left a small jar that I purchased).

Cold

Grandparents and grandchildren holiday. We choose this place because of the online listing it said heating in all rooms but didn’t mention the heating was a on the wall small electric heater which took hours to heat up also a drying room which also had the same heating and did not dry anything. We came down from Queensland and we’re so disappointed and freezing cold
