Guests and new members at ACC Falls Creek frequently comment on the friendly atmosphere. Most members go out of their way to make newcomers feel welcome and become part of the place.

... and family friendly too

Children delight in staying in a lodge with other children to play with. They tend to spend time together in the games room while their parents enjoy adult company in the lounge/dining area.

The Club takes pride in its range of members, young and old, with generations of members not uncommon.

Most of our rooms allow for small groups of two or three, with other rooms accommodating four, five and six. Rooms for families of all sizes.

Ideal Location

Falls Creek village bowl under a blanket of fresh snow

AAC Falls Creek is at the entry to the village bowl, next door to the Falls Creek Hotel. When there's snow on the roads, it's a simple slide down the road to jump on Gully or International. The Home Trail takes you through the bowl and delivers you next door to AAC.

If there is not enough snow on the road, then it's a very short walk to Summit or Eagle, or to download on Gully. It's even closer to the Village Shuttle stop. Ticket sales, ski & board hire, cafes and bars are all close-by in the village bowl.

Secure Investment

The AAC Falls Creek lodge underwent a major renovation over the summer of 2011/2012. This brought the building up-to-date with the latest building codes and bushfire regulations and increased the thermal efficiency with double-glazing and increased insulation. The busiest area, the lounge/dining room, was extended, recarpeted and re-upholstered with leather.

The club was granted a new 50 year lease for the lodge.

Further renovations in 2017-2019 rejuvenated the sauna & spa area, recarpeted entry and bedroom wings, modernised lighting and a host of minor improvements. The club is committed to maintaining a modern, comfortable lodge.

Access to lodges at other mountains

AAC Falls Creek is part of a larger group of similar Clubs, the Australian Alpine Club (AAC). There are AAC lodges at Falls Creek, Mt Hotham, Dinner Plain, Perisher and also Niseko in Japan. All AAC Falls Creek members have good access to these lodges and also reciprocal rights to other club lodges at Thredbo, Perisher, Charlotte Pass and Mt Buller.

Values

The AAC Falls Creek is not a commercial Lodge and is not open to the general public. Members and Guests understand that while there is a Lodge Manager, we tidy up after ourselves and help out if needed. We look after our friends and also our guests, in the one house for the time we are at the Lodge.
