I posted this in the Mt Buller DH thread originally but think it is probably more suited to the general forum.
Hopefully the Mt Buller people see this;
I've searched here and elsewhere but could do with a bit more info from those in the know....
I'm looking at spending 5-7 nights down at Mt Buller early Jan 2013 with my wife.
I've looked through the Bike Buller page on the Mt Buller site but can't find any info regarding accommodation and bikes. I want to be sure the bikes are secure overnight and when not in use - ideally in our room. Looking for maybe a 1 bed appartment/studio/condo - definately something with a kitchen (basic is fine). Don't need anything too fancy but happy to pay a little extra for a bit better than a backpacker/cheap hotel style room.
Any news on these summer deals?
Has anyone stayed down there and can recommend any accommodation in particular for a young couple?
On the biking front; What are some of the must do's? Copperhead, Stonefly are given but what else should I set in stone?
I'm happy to ride to the top to smash it down on the XC based trails and want to wreck myself over the trip (last biking trip I did 200km over 4 half days). My plan would be to get up early before the wife gets up and ride straight from our accommodation on to the trails for some hard out stuff. Then ride some easier stuff later with my wife.
Also would possibly consider a 1-day lift pass for both of us if the XC based descents are serviced by the lift - my wife would much prefer to get a lift up and cruise down.
On the other stuff front; what else is there to do around the area? things like markets, antique shops, usual shops, bush walks and the like would suit my wife while I'm riding. What are the dining options like over summer? Is there much happening in the off season?
Any info would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Time to revive this thread.........Nice to hear you're planning ahead. Yes there certainly will be deals on over our summer. More information will come to hand around late August/September as we plan season 2012/13.
In the meantime check out http://www.mtbuller.com.au/Summer/Bike-Buller for some details of what was on offer over the past summer.
Let us know any other info you need.
