'Bogong' is a character filled freestanding chalet, a romantic and stylish abode, perfect for a destination to escape the 'ordinary' world. Exposed timber beams and timber lined ceilings, quaint dormer windows, a huge stone open fireplace all combine to create that perfect ambience so rarely found in the everyday world. It was designed by renowned architect Professor Peter McIntyre in 1986 when the original village of Dinner Plain was just beginning.
'Bogong' is on two levels; downstairs is the kitchen, pantry, north facing outdoor deck, living room, boot room, separate toilet, drying cupboard and bathroom. Up the carpeted staircase are two well appointed bedrooms each with a queen sized bed. Bogong is heated downstairs by a large open fire in the living room and is supported by a gas heater. All other areas have electric panel heaters to keep them warm and cosy. 'Bogong' is strictly No Smoking. 'Bogong' is a small chalet and can only comfortably accommodate a maximum of 4 guests.
If you are looking to escape with someone special then 'Bogong' is an artistic and charming place to call 'home'.
'Bogong'
Our little chalet is situated right in the heart of Dinner Plain Village and is within very close proximity to restaurants, bars, boutique shops, cafe, ski hire, day spa, hairdresser and small supermarket and the hub of village life. No car is necessary once you park in our driveway; walking tracks surround the village and the beginner ski slope, toboggan run and snow fields are less than a five minute walk away.

Whether you enjoy a day on the slopes of nearby Mt Hotham or a relaxed day in the village of Dinner Plain 'Bogong' is a perfect destination.

It was a pleasure to have Julie and her family as guests in our little snow home 'Bogong' at Dinner Plain. She looked after our home very well and we would welcome her back in the future. We were so pleased there was so much snow up on the mountain to enjoy.
We had a delightful long wee
Bogong is a sweet and incredibly well set up house in the heart of Dinner Plain. All of our needs were catered for and the house had a beautiful homely feel. Tastefully decorated and very thoughtful hosts.
We loved staying at this beautiful little house in Dinner Plains. It is very comfortable and homely with everything we needed. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need-the best kitchen I’ve ever had in a short term rental. Julie and Alastair were extremely helpful and the location near the Centre of Dinner Plain made it easy to get to Mt Hotham as well as the shops and restaurants. Loved it !
This cosy property centrally located we had was nice and clean and well equipped with all essentials. I have no hesitation in recommending this property to visitors to Dinner Plain. Thank you Julie for your Bogong to making our stay so special.

Quality Get Away
We were fortunate enough to spend 5 snow, fun filled days at Dinner Plain & Mount Hotham and this property made the short get away all the more enjoyable. Comfortable for a family of four, charming in a brilliant location at DP within easy walking distance of the two pubs, restaurants and shopping facilities.
The best aspect of the property was definitely the hosts. Our welcome email was extremely comprehensive, they were friendly, helpful, responsive, a pleasure to deal with. We strongly recommend considering this property for your next snow experience.

Lovey cottage
The cottage was great, beautifully decorated and loved the wine that was left for us. A little noisy when the pub closes but the trade off is it's very convenient. We had a lovely stay.

Perfect, a spot of luxury
Our small family of four stayed three nights and were very impressed by beautifully decorated, and well appointed the chalet is. Every little thing is catered for, and linens and soft furnishings bring a touch of luxury. Chalet is so well located right in the middle of Dinner Plain. We loved the private car park out front, and drying room after being on the slopes all day. Our daughter adored the loft bed. We hope to return again.

We look forward to seeing you again at 'Bogong' in the future.
