I'm not vegetarian and even I thoroughly enjoyed the multitude of overflowing platters of delicious dishes. Considering vegetarians are barely catered for at Buller I recommend you call ahead and see if you can talk the chef into doing a vego meal for you too. Not sure if you have to be a guest or not, but I get the impression that a large passionate foodie group might be accommodated. They have a descent wine list, good coffee and stunning views.

The staff made us feel welcome and we did not feel like we had to drink and run. At lunchtime we had their 'famous' pizzas that were delicious and reasonable value for mountain food! Definitely a great place to hide while waiting for the kids to finish their lessons!

Unassuming and unpretentious this is a great place to rest your head when you want to explore the surrounding areas. Rooms are upmarket motel style - nice linens, modern bathroom and tea and coffee making supplies. Don't even think about NOT having a meal here. The restaurant is a huge step above your local pub. My dining partner and I shared the pork terrine and twice cooked quail to start - both were top notch, the quail in particular had terrific flavour. Next we moved on to duck breast cooked with lavender and beetroot. Very clever, delicately flavoured and well cooked, the breast still pink in the middle. The ocean trout served with prawns and a bisque sauce also a winner. To finish we opted for a gigantic cheese platter and took this back to the room to eat along with the remains of our bottle of local Chardonnay. The only things I'd like to see more of here is a greater focus on local produce and wine. A lot of the wines were European, yet there are so many great options from neighbours that it seems sad not to show them off. Same goes with the cheese. While Stilton is lovely, I'd much prefer something from down the road. Feast in the restaurant and then retire to your room for one of the best sleeps you might ever have. Bliss.

A stone's throw as well from Whitfield healing and Beauty if you fancy a massage, facial, or manicure, the Whitty Cafe for a coffee and King Valley Fine Foods, for all the gourmet treats of the region. Beautifully appointed 3 bedrooms, 2 bathroom and a kitchen full of fine glassware plus a fabulous coffee machine. The gardens are stunning, late afternoon out the back with a glass of Prosecco - love it!

My family and I stayed at Arlberg for 3 nights as part of a winter driving holiday. It's no luxury…read moreski lodge, but for families it's fine. We booked a larger apartment with balcony and kitchen so that we could cook some meals. It was fantastic having the balcony, but as a corner room I sometimes couldn't sleep with the driving rain and wind making so much noise! The room itself wasn't great. Our double bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable and, oddly, no beds came with sheets, just quilts with covers. The kitchen itself had poor equipment and this was an incredible frustration. The stove and oven didn't work well. There were only two large mugs, odd in this cold environment which just screams out for hot chocolate, and one of those mugs was chipped. Thankfully, the rooms were heated really well, including the bathroom. Lots of guests would have appreciated that. The staff were lovely and friendly. The atmosphere in the dining / recreation areas was relaxed, but some of the furniture and equipment is showing wear and tear. It looks somewhat like a school facility. Wifi was apparently available in the common areas, but didn't work for me. One of the great features of the Arlberg Hotel is that it sits atop Mount Buller and you can venture out of the doorway and straight onto the slopes. It also has ski hire within its facility and the large staff team there is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. I think I'd save up to stay elsewhere next time, unless I hear the Arlberg has had a refit.

This place did have a couple of more beers, and was a bit more lively, but then again it was the Christmas holidays were I came through, which is probably why there were a decent amount of people here. Still, while it was okay, it didn't stand out.
