About this property
Nine Steps - private estate on 29 acres with stunning views of Mount Buffalo
Nine Steps is an architect designed home and a unique luxury interpretation of the traditional Australian shed. With stunning views of Mount Buffalo and set on 29 acres of beautiful native bushland, this is your opportunity to enjoy a rural retreat in comfort and style.
• Only a 10 min drive to Bright, Nine Steps is perfect for families, friends and couples. • Home to wombats, wallabies and deer that you may see during your visit. • Closest accommodation to spectacular Mount Buffalo for hikes, cycling, snow adventures and more.
You can gaze out at native bushland from every window and enjoy watching the ever changing face of Mount Buffalo. You may even have the pleasure of seeing Eurobin Falls from the house. Eurobin Creek runs along our property and we'll share with you the directions to a secret local swimming hole a few minutes walk from the house.
With no wifi or tv reception - Nine Steps is a rare opportunity to really switch off and reconnect with nature and with family, friends and loved ones. There are two TVs and lots of DVDs for movie night and quiet time though!
Very good Telstra 4G reception.
Nine Steps has everything you need for your stay with linen, towels and toiletries provided, heating and cooling, fully equipped kitchen (including a Nespresso machine), easy parking and secure bike storage.

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.

Great location, and lovely property!Perfect for a few days enjoying the high country, and the secret waterhole was very welcome after a day’s MTB’ing at Mystic!Recommend!
Everything thing you and the family need for an enjoyable stay. It was the cleanest place I have stayed in the last 30years. I would book there again without hesitation.
Absolutely loved my stay at Porepunkah and look forward to coming again! The house is such a hidden gem, and was surprised by how warm it was considering the house has many windows where you can observe the beautiful views. Really enjoyed it 😁
Had a great stay thanks. One day up at mt Buffalo and the other on the rail trails. Great location and nice and quiet
Thanks

Top Notch Property at Mt Buffalo
We had a wonderful time at 9 Steps. This vacation house is clean, modern and has everything you need for a family with children. Will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our time staying here. The house itself is stunning with high ceilings and beautiful kitchen and dining area to share a meal with those you’re staying with. The location is great - quiet but still a short drive to everything you need. Definitely recommend!
Wonderful property! Great sound proof windows throughout the house which was a bonus with a 7 year old.
Bath was sensational and property was spotless. Wonderful fireplace inside and outside
Wildlife was a real treat
Highly recommend!!!

Perfect accommodation and location
This is a superb place to stay with every comfort yet secluded. The residence has been thoughtfully created and felt so pleasant. The proximity to Mt Buffalo.. right on the edge of the National Park ...the wildlife, the fresh mountain air and the stream to catch trout so close by. Excellent for a truly peaceful Xmas. Even a few Xmas goodies to welcome us! We all loved our stay!
Loved everything about this property from the amazing “shed” to the stunning views and lots of wildlife.
Easy check in and good communication with host. property was very clean and had all the extras you might need.
Definitely hope to come back and hopefully the weather will be better.
Such a stunning place in the most stunning location. Right at the foot of Mt Buffalo.
Everything was absolutely perfect, you feel like you're miles away from anyone, yet you are so close to Bright centre.
Very highly recommended. The property is beautiful, very clean and very well maintained.
Melissa and Rupert were amazing hosts.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nine Steps during our Spartan race weekend. After running 21km a soak in the deep freestanding bath was exactly what I needed. We loved the allocation of space, the modern architecture, and the homely feel. The house was presented beautifully and there was very helpful detailed information provided by the host, including how to find the property. The house was perfect in every way and would recommend it highly.
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

Bright's best kept secret
The house was amazing. A perfect weekend escape from the hustle bustle. I was able to truly switch off from my busy week and relax. The house is everything I expected and more, with its architectural design and excellent finishings. The main room is huge and a great way for a group to be together while cooking and relaxing in front of the fire. We ventured up to Mt Buffalo which is a short drive away as well as into Bright. The location is great as it is close to everything but yet secluded and private. I would highly recommend this for your next weekend getaway.

Gorgeous place
A wonderful, relaxing and cosy stay at Nine Steps. Impossible to fault. The house is beautifully appointed inside, and has lovely views up to Mt Buffalo. No tele and weak, sporadic mobile signal may not suit some but for us it was a perfect digital detox. We went on long walks in the National Park (right behind the house) and along Eurobin Creek, played board games, explored Bright (lunch at the Brewery) and local wineries, drove up into the mountains and skiied one day at Falls Creek. Just what we wanted from a winter holiday.

A unique home in a great location
We had a great 3 night stay at Nine Steps. The house itself is terrific - overall very comfortable, well insulated from heat or cold and immaculately clean. It's set in a magnificent location with great views of the surrounding bush. Easily accessible to Mount Buffalo where there are heaps of varied, interesting walks and to the gorgeous town of Bright. Our only complaint was that we all found the beds to be extremely hard! I tried adding blankets to soften the bedding but eventually slept on the couch! Other than that we would highly recommend Nine Steps.

Perfection
We have recently returned from a truly memorable stay at Nine Steps in Porepunkah. This property is ideally located next to the Mt Buffalo National Park, approximately 5 minutes from Porepunkah and 10 minutes from Bright. The views from the house are wonderful, either of surrounding mountains or nearby forest. The house itself has been beautifully designed in order to capture the views, and is comfortably furnished and has a real sense of space, with a huge open plan kitchen/living area and cathedral ceiling. The house is set on a huge property which ensures peace and quiet. There is an abundance of wildlife, particularly native birds and wombats. The setting was perfect for a family getaway with our three children. There was heaps to do, including a fire pit for toasting marshmallows and a stream which runs alongside the property (including a fantastic swimming hole). We have previously stayed in some beautiful properties around Bright and would consider Nine Steps to be the very best.
