The House
• Nine Steps is a three bedroom, two bathroom home with a large open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area, as well as a smaller second lounge.

• The house is designed so guests are sheltered from the weather, while still feeling a part of the environment. Large picture windows are a key feature of the house, along with the many covered decks.

• The great room has a large wood burner, air-conditioning and three ceiling fans, as well as opening windows to catch the breeze and cooler evening air.

• The fully equipped cooks kitchen is set around an island bench with bar stools - perfect whether you're preparing breakfast or enjoying some local cheese and wine.

The Environment
• Nine Steps was built to be environmentally friendly with a 6 star energy rating. We're also members of our local Landcare Group and the Australian Conservation Foundation.

• Nine Steps is self-sufficient for water - collecting rain water and spring water which is then treated via sediment and UV filters.

• If you wander around the property you will see many wombat burrows and hear many birds (lots of kookaburras!).

Signature Experiences
• Private yoga class: The large 'great room' is perfect for a private yoga class, or experience a beautiful yoga practice outside in the 29 acre grounds of Nine Steps. Our yoga teacher can cater for all levels and will structure a practice to suit your needs.

• Alpine Concierge Services: To make your stay at Nine Steps even more memorable, imagine arriving to a hamper of local produce for breakfast or dinner. Or perhaps you need help organising a romantic occasion, or special event. Alpine Concierge Services can create a bespoke experience just for you.

• Weddings: We would love to host your wedding! Our approach is to charge for the house accommodation and a per head charge for guests. We leave the organisation of catering, seating, decorating, portaloos, etc to you so you have complete control over your special day. We can also connect you with local event organisers.

Exactly what we needed and more
This property exceeded expectations. I have never stayed somewhere that felt more like a home away from home. The kitchen was so well stocked, the bedrooms and living areas so comfortable. The serenity on the property was just what we needed. It was so lovely to sit outside on the deck in the morning, with a coffee, hearing nothing other than the sound of the river and some birds. Only a short 10 min drive in to Bright, 25mins to the top of Mount buffalo. Couldn’t rate this property higher, absolutely loved it and will be back! Thank you so much for having us

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Hendry

Host profile image
I'm a keen traveller and cyclist and have always been a city girl - until I fell in love with the beautiful town of Bright.

Why they chose this property

I designed, built and decorated Nine Steps and co-own the property with Rupert.

I love spending time at the house and just relaxing while admiring the views, listening to the birds, spotting wildlife, cooking a bbq and enjoying a drink.

What makes this property unique

Watching the ever changing face of Mount Buffalo from the lounge or the grounds of Nine Steps is always special. Spending quiet time relaxing, or the joyous chaos of kids enjoying the giant park that is Nine Steps always makes me happy. Ending the day lying in bed looking up at the stars is simply incredible...
