Other things to note
During Winter Season, Resort Entry applies to every vehicle entering Mt Hotham Resort. Please refer to the Mt Hotham website for details and how to buy your pass online.
Snow chains for your vehicle must also be carried during the winter season. These can be hired off the mountain at various locations including HOYS in Harrietville (the A-frame building on the river next to the bridge). If you say you are staying at Kongoola, you may get a discount. They will show you how to fit these chains and when to do so and also have a person on the side of the road who can fit them for you at the 'fit chains here' sign.
Upon arrival, please:
* Remove all outdoor footwear in the foyer or drying room, before walking on the carpet.
* Sign the guest register located at the door into the foyer.
* Check the whiteboard in the foyer for your room allocation.
* Call the managers (phone numbers on the entrance window) if you have any questions or concerns.
Unfortunately, Kongoola cannot facilitate early check-ins! This is to ensure the consideration of existing guests, and room changeovers and to ensure a manager is available for your arrival.
