Thinking of getting up to Falls Creek this week.
Any recommendations on accommodation?
Looking for a cheap get away, bike friendly and some kitchen facilities.
Also is there much in the way of café/restaurants/supermarkets open at the moment?

Keen to check the place out.
Cheers

don't know how it ties in to the bike scene up there (not that I could see a problem) but in winter I often stay at Alpha Lodge, top notch shared accom. It is family owned an operated, great peeps, and open all year. I think summer prices start around $45 per night but don't quote me on that..

4 of us shuttled Falls yesterday being a week day after the school hols there was no one about and no Blue Dirt shuttles but bring food.
Can easily shuttle to the top for usual favourites High Voltage Thunderbolt ,Skyline and its 15 degrees cooler than the valleys.
easy blues Generator/ Vortex are great.
Skyline is fairly new and bloody great 10/10 Derby standard ,
Heavy metal is good but a bit weird they picked a difficult route.
Falls is farkin awesome IMO ,they are still building new tracks ie Downtown , due to the wettish summer the tracks are in good nick ,not really braking bumps
