The resort is about 190km east of Melbourne, following the M1 to Moe and C466 to Erica.  The last chance for chains and equipment hire is in Erica afterwhich there are 11 km of unsealed road, but the going is reasonable easy.  Public transport does operate to the resort from the Latrobe Valley (Moe, Morwell and Traralgon).
