COVID Status

Last Update: 13 June 2021

The lodge is open but very constrained by government restrictions regarding who can stay. 

The limit on the capacity of the lodge is the same as the Victorian government's cap on private gatherings.

This is currently a single household (or intimate partner or single bubble) plus 2 adults and their dependents. 

Hopefully by 18 June Melbourne based members and guests will be permitted to travel to the lodge. We are still not permitted to take new bookings from Melbourne people. We are allowing Melbourne members to express interest in future booking times using the normal tentative booking request process. No bookings from Melbourne members can be confirmed at this time.

If there are more bookings than permitted by the restrictions, the booking officer will have discretion to determine which eligible bookings can use the lodge. 

Our full COVID Safe Plan has been revised to ensure that it still complies with recent govermnet advice. This is a rather bulky document that includes much material of little interest to most members and guests. A summary of our COVID Safe Plan has been published to more succinctly inform members and guests about how the lodge will operate. This summary is still under revision but that should be complete shortly. The table below summarises factors that may override the summary. 

The most up-to-date information will be published here. Be sure to check for the latest information.

Travelling from interstate?

1. QR code check in is mandatory at the lodge and nearly everywhere on the mountain. This will be easiest if you install the Service Victoria app on your smart phone

AAC Falls Creek in Summer

When the mountains are carpeted with wild flowers instead of snow, the alps offer new means of adventure, relaxation and fun. It's typically 10°C cooler at Falls Creek than the valleys and plains below, and much greener.

AAC Falls Creek is your base for summer in the mountains

The lodge is available for members and summer associates to enjoy in summer. Bring a crowd and stay very affordably in this beautiful lodge. It's only $43* per person per night but a minimum charge does apply.

If you are not a member, it's easy to join as a summer associate and bring your family, friends or sporting group for a great stay in the mountains.

Bushwalkers, mountain bikers, photographers, rowers, road cyclists, motorcyclists, artists, runners, tri-athletes - what ever your obsession, AAC Falls Creek can provide a comfortable base for a fantastic alpine experience
