About this property

Christina's Luxury Retreat

​Christina’s luxury retreat is fresh take on holiday accommodation, nestled at the base of Mystic Mountain overlooking the township of Bright. Be treated to magnificent views across the Oven’s Valley from the generous entertaining deck and beautiful mineral salt water swimming pool. Newly built, this four-bedroom home has been handcrafted by local builders, carpenters and stonemasons creating a luxury escape like no other. The space is contemporary and inspired by minimal, industrial-Scandinavian styles with a touch of Japanese influence; you will be captivated by the raw wood ascents, polished concrete floors, bench tops and stunning furnishings.

The master bedroom provides for even the most indulgent escapes with a plush King Bed en suite including a lavish stone soaking bath that allows for stunning mountain views via over-sized glass doors. The bathrooms are luxuriously appointed with honed concrete floors, walk-in showers, handcrafted cabinetry and stone basins. The main living area is spacious and has a plush black leather lounge and daybed, so you can relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. The house has four bedrooms and sleeps a maximum of eight guests. For more than eight guests, the neighbouring house, Leader Reef, can be booked to accommodate a total of 16 guests, subject to availability.

You will always feel comfortable as the house is extremely well insulated. There are 3 air-conditioning units, 3 panel heaters and 5 ceiling fans and a wood-burning combustion fireplace.

BEDROOMS

Furnished with the best of luxury plush Sealy Posturepedic beds, all four bedrooms can be set up as king sized or twin singles and dressed with luxurious European linen. All bedrooms are fitted with functional black and birch plywood wardrobes designed to meet guests’ needs. If you are lucky enough to call the master bedroom yours for the getaway, you can expect an amazing, Japanese inspired, suite with ultra plush king bed, huge views of the mountains, pool and backyard from your own bed. When the moon is out, the entire suite is flooded with moonlight. You can stare at the beautiful moon as you enjoy a soothing soak in the bath. You can gaze at the stars, the moon and listen to the sound of nature from your cosy warm master bed. It is truly an amazing place for unwinding.

ENTERTAINMENT

There is a 65 inch latest release 4K Ultra HD Samsung TV in the main living room. This smart TV has a port so you can bring movies of your choice and connect it to the big screen TV. It can also connect to a wide range of smartphones and devices. All of which can be connected to the soundbar to bring it to a theater like movie session. We also have a small selection of DVDs that you can watch using traditional DVD player in the second lounge.

COOKING AND DINING

The huge timber deck and backyard is setting the scene for a perfect summer barbecue. There is an outdoor Ziergler and Brown barbecue with a grill and hot plate. The indoor kitchen features beautiful concrete benchtops, functional storage spaces and Miele appliances throughout. The kitchen is fully furnished with a microwave, large fridge, pots and pan, rice cooker and cooking utensils.

Dining space is beautiful with a large handcrafted pendant, custom made victorian ash table, bench and good looking chairs. We provide some chocolates, T2 teabags and some coffee powders.

EXTRA INDULGENCE

Guests who love to pamper can book themselves a session with our in-house therapists for a massage and day spa treatments. For those wishing to energise themselves for the day can book a private in-house morning yoga session with Emily. Being close to the centre of town means guests can take a leisurely 15 minutes walk to town to shops and enjoy lovely spaces and playground along the Ovens River and eat and drink at top notch restaurants, bars and cafes. We can also invite an inhouse chef to the house to cook you a special dinner if you wish.

IN SUMMARY

Christina’s is ideal for guests wanting to experience the beauty of Bright and surrounds. It is a perfect place for families, couples, girls getaway or groups of friends. After a long day exploring, guests can then retreat back to the serene private residence relaxing by the pool in a spacious backyard absorbing stunning views of valleys and mountains.

We hope you will be satisfied with the space that we have created. A space to just do as much or as little as you like!

Absolutely brilliant stay

The house is simply spectacular and has all the amenities you need and more. Would highly recommend staying with a family or group as the lounge room is extremely accomodating and cosy. The views from the deck area are dreamy and something a camera can’t give it justice. We would definitely love to come back!

Short stay at Christina’s

Christina’s is a lovely modern home a newer area of Bright. The view from the master bedroom and living areas is beautiful. The house contained everything we needed for our 5 day stay. Tania, our host was responsive to our requests and sorted out one minor issue very quickly. We would recommend this accommodation.

An idyllic retreat

A wonderful place to “retreat” from the worries of the world. Everything about Christina’s was perfect, including the weather. Four couples shared the home and every convenience was provided, including a welcoming personal message on the blackboard. Spacious living area, comfortable beds, luxurious decor and beautiful pool. Thanks Christina’s for everything, I’m sure we’ll be back.

Relaxing and peaceful

Had a lovely time at Christina’s. The wood fire kept the place warm but the heaters were great for instant heat. Location had amazing views and nice distance to walk into the town centre of Bright. Will definitely stay here again when over this way next.

Christina's - What a welcome!

A fabulous place for the girls weekend away we had in Bright. The house was so well appointed we found it hard to leave at the end of our stay. Beds are very comfy, kitchen had everything we needed, warm and full of light and very easy walking distance to town.

Luxurious weekend away in Bright

This property was perfect for our family weekend away. The open plan kitchen dining and lounge area was complemented by the second lounge area (perfect for the kids who loved the range of movies available). Easy walking distance into town, and a very comfortable stay. We are looking forward to returning in the warmer months to take advantage of the pool!
