Porters Lodge features a shared lounge, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Castle Hill. Located around 28 km from Broken River Ski Field, the inn with free WiFi is also 30 km away from Craigieburn. The property is non-smoking and is located 3.7 km from Porters. What a fantastic experience. We stayed for two nights and would live to visit again to stay longer. What a beautiful mountain lodge and perfect vase for outdoor activities and sports. Really good food and drinks are served as well.
