We recently stayed at Elk at Falls Creek as a family of four and honestly, it was one of the best ski trips we’ve had. I actually sat on this review for a while because I kind of wanted to gate keep this place… but they deserve the shoutout. The location is unbeatable! Elk is conveniently ski-in/ski-out, super close to the Cloud 9 lift (the main lift at Falls Creek and the meeting point for all ski schools and lessons). It’s also a stone’s throw from ski hire, the most popular restaurants, and the on-slope grocery store. When booking, I had considered other accommodation higher up the mountain and I’m so glad I didn’t go that route. We stayed in Apartment 4, one of the smaller two-bed configurations, it was incredibly well designed, well-equipped, and spotless. Our apartment had a fully equipped kitchen and drying cupboard, which was an absolute lifesaver for soggy ski gear. There’s also a communal drying room downstairs which is fitted out thoughtfully with plenty of storage for boots, boards and skis, a washing machine and plenty of benches to gear up before you walk directly outside onto the snow. The Elk over snow transfers were a dream at the end of our commute from Melbourne airport. No waiting for Falls Creek paid service or dragging bags through snow or up stairs. Jake, who looked after our transfers and us during our stay was amazing. Friendly, on it, and always happy to help (even helped me to carry skis in each day when the kids had tapped out). We ate at Sorella most days and managed to extensively test the menu. A must visit, conveniently located inside Elk, the food, wine list and coffee was amazing, the staff beyond friendly and attentive, and the best part? The kids could head back to the room while we finished our wine in peace. We were in the apartment directly under Apartment 3, Elks cocktail bar/lounge. We were a little nervous about noise but had no issues at all, No noise transfer. A few reviews raised issue with the noise from the pub down the hill. Whilst we could hear some background buzz it was nothing that interfered with us sleeping when we sank into the comfy beds after a busy day soaking up everything Falls Creek had to offer. Add in the magnesium hot tubs to soak tired legs, thoughtful touches , friendly service and the best snow access you could ask for it’s no wonder we are already planning next year’s trip. Highly recommend for families, couples, or anyone who wants a comfy, convenient, and well-run base right on the snow.
