Porters Lodge has comfortable, bunk-style family accommodation set against a beautiful mountain backdrop.
We are nestled at the base of Porters Ski Area in the Craigieburn range, so perfectly located whether you're here for the skiing, biking, hiking, the stunning views or simply passing by. Drop in and say hello, enjoy a bite to eat and a cold drink, or maybe an awesome Underground Coffee to go to get you back on the road!
Refuel and Quench your Thirst
With a menu stacked with classic dishes, it's sure to satisfy.
Chill out by the fire, or on the sun deck, with a local Cassels craft beer, a glass of fine wine or an awesome Underground Coffee.


Open all year
With comfortable, cosy rooms, we offer bunk-style accommodation with private and shared room options, accommodating up to 36 guests plus campervan sites.
Your gateway to exploration and adventure
Whether you're here to ski, board, to explore the legendary Castle Hill rocks, disappear into the peaceful hiking trails, take in the stunning alpine vista, catch trophy trout or hurtle down one of the mountain bike trails of the Craigieburn Range, we have it all to offer right on our doorstep. We are only 3km from the skifield carpark and can organise a shuttle to get you there.
We also have 2.3km worth of purpose-built mountain bike flow trails, starting and finishing right at the Porters Lodge (open summer only).
