A Winter Escape to Remember

Michael Z.

“For my birthday this year, I decided to escape the city and treat myself to a snowy adventure. I packed my bags and headed to the breathtaking alpine village of Dinner Plain, Victoria—and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken.

I stayed at Club Wyndham Dinner Plain, a luxury, well-designed resort nestled right in the heart of the village. From the moment I checked in, I was impressed. The resort had everything I needed—friendly staff, high-end, comfortable rooms, and the perfect rustic charm you’d expect from a high-country escape. Best of all, it was only a short bus trip from Mt Hotham, making it a fantastic base for all the snow activities I had planned.

And what a snow season it’s been! We were lucky to catch a fresh dump of powder just before arriving. The slopes were in amazing condition, and I wasted no time getting out there. Skiing each day was exhilarating—carving down groomed runs, breathing in crisp alpine air, and soaking in the stunning mountain views. Whether I was skiing solo or joining others on the lifts, I felt totally alive.

Back at the resort, it was all about hot spa, warm meals, and relaxing in comfort. The village atmosphere made everything feel personal and peaceful, a perfect contrast to the adrenaline of the slopes. Evenings were spent enjoying good food, good wine, and the crackling of fireplaces around the area.

What made the trip truly special, though, was that I got to spend it doing what I love, on my birthday, in a place that felt both exciting and restorative. Club Wyndham Dinner Plain made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable—from accommodation to location, it was spot on.

Here’s to more adventures like this—and maybe next time, in the snowfields of Japan!”
