DIRECTIONS
Arriving by car
Visitors arriving by car can access the resort via either the C426 South Face Road or the C426 Mt Baw Baw Tourist Road.
Mt Baw Baw Tourist Route
Scenic, this is a fully sealed road with steep gradients and some sharp turns. Use the Warburton Highway and exit at Yarra Junction, or the M1 Princes Freeway exiting at Drouin to connect with this route. Travel through Noojee, Icy Creek and Tanjil Bren before turning off at Resort entry gates.
South Face Road
This route includes approximately 25km of unsealed road but can be preferable in bad weather due to the road's even gradient and easy turns. Use the M1 Princes Freeway and exit at the Moe turn off before travelling through Erica and Parkers Corner.
