ALPINE RETREAT HOTEL
Recently refurbished to bring this stunning hotel back to its glory days, the Alpine Retreat Hotel is a perfect option to hang out for the entire weekend. Walk to the main street, and to event HQ.
With 32 accommodation rooms to choose from, The Alpine lets you find the perfect place to rest your head.
Many of the rooms come with retro-style ensuites’ that have recently been restored. Simple, functional and convenient, these utilitarian rooms are perfect for the self-contained traveller. For those securing a simple stay, we offer affordable rooms without ensuites (shared facilities). A vintage shared bathroom just down the corridor for men and women separately has been restored, it is an enjoyable time warp.
The Alpine welcomes travellers who value the simple things, good hospitality, functional rooms and comfortable beds. And trail running. After a long day running through the local natural wonders, The Alpine offers wholesome bistro meals and great beverages. NOTE: If seeking a space to meditate in silence, self catering rooms, family room for little ones to pop to sleep early, even a mini bar…… this pub accommodation is not for you, The Alpine is a classic pub 3 star format!
GOOD NEWS: The Alpine is the NEW START & FINISH of the classic and very famous night run! Yes, Little Joe’s Night Terror is now an 8km singletrack sojourn under the stars. starting and finishing in the rear garden of The Alpine. So you can run, drink, dance (live music) and then ease off to bed whenever you feel ready, no driving needed!
Lock into The Alpine ASAP as there will be limited availability!
CAMPING FOR A CAUSE
WARBURTON PS CAMP OUT
YES THERE IS A PLACE TO CAMP WITH OTHER TRAIL TRAGICS!!
(and it helps raise money for the local primary school!)
YES, we know that accommodation in Warburton during this long weekend is rare as Kilian stumbling on a rail trail… so we have lined up cool camping option that you will love. Warburton Primary School has kindly offered to again allow tented camping – at a small fundraising fee per person – on its school oval.
There is also limited space for six (6) vans (or caravans) so get in quick.
A sensational spot within walking distance of the event HQ, it is set in a bowl of mountains, has three playgrounds attached, picnic tables, running water and toilets, a huge sheltered area.

$105/person* if staying three nights (i.e. for 2 people for three nights it is $180)
Remember that the booking system is per night, per person, so please select the option that covers the correct nights you want, and then order multiples of that according to how many people are in your tent.
If you want more than one tent site, please register the second / third etc under another name / second registration (you can add at the end of the first process and pay at once).
Tents can be any size, but there is no access for vehicles directly, cars will park 100-200 m of the oval campsite.
Please note that there are no showers on site, so you will need to do your cleaning either in the Yarra River post run or head to the Warburton Caravan Park and ask if they will do a fee for shower!
