First of all we would like to thank you for everyone at Ajax their hospitality! Nothing was a problem! My younger son had his bday their and they created a dessert for him with marshmallows, snakes and sparkles. He loved it and everyone sing Happy Birthday which made it even more special! At the end he even got a bag of lollies from Michele. Thank you for making it so special for him!
Location. About 10 minutes walk from the central but there is a bus about 5 meters from the door to the free shuttle bus that can take you to anywhere within the village.Ajax is a 3 star property so do not expect flat screen TV and minibar in your room. In regards the rooms you get what you pay for so be fair when criticizing it! The rooms are very basic - bed, towels, soap, ensuite bathroom. Rooms are well heated, all have windows you can open to get the fresh air in ( ours looked out to some rooftops but also to some mountains ). There is a drying room for your clothes, another one for your skies. There are three lounge areas ( one up in the mezzanine, one in front of a fireplace ) and another one. Also there is a TV room with a huge Samsung TV. There is a downstairs game-room and from that room opens another room to an infrared sauna ( free of charge ). Games room need an update. Billiard table was in excellent condition ( charge is AUD2.00 / game ) but the table tennis is in a sad condition. We still used it and had no problem with it but would be nice to get it fixed a bit.
Ajax provide breakfast and dinner with their stay and OMG! Their food is 5 star! The breakfast breakfast and dinner included in their room rates. Breakfast includes about 5 types of cereals, fruit, yogurt,eggs, toast, croissant etc so more then enough for a nice breakfast. Dinner is always a three course dinner ( except Friday smorgasbord ). There is a soup, a main and a dessert and wow the food! It is tasty, healthy ( just so it tastes good as well )! Fantastic! We loved everything ( even our two young kids loved all the food they were given). We stayed for 3 nights but the variety of food was great! You can purchase drinks at Ajax or BYO anything you like and keep in their fridge.
Overall we loved our stay there! The price is reasonable taking into consideration that it is Mt Buller and that you have your breakfast and dinner taken care of. It is nice to be able to just sit down and eat something great after all day in the slopes and not to worry about cooking!
Mt Buller in general was great! Lots of area for the ones who just staring out but enough for the more serious skiers. We had a great time and we found the hire and shop staff very nice and helpful! It think as long as you prepare yourself reasonably for your expectation re costs and facilities you will love it!
