5 Things that you MUST do while staying here:

1. Visit Mount Buffalo national park. It is a half hour drive, and visually spectacular. You must do a walk, and see what the world looks like from this amazing rock formation. Take a swim in the pure granite swimming holes or hire a canoe on lake Catani.

2. Have a coffee or lunch at the Wandi Maze. It is a 5 minute walk from the house through the historic diggings. This is the largest living hedge maze in Australia, and the gardens surrounding the cafe are sooooooo relaxing. Try a piece of the enormous delicious passionfruit sponge cake!

3. Have dinner at Simone’s restaurant in Bright. The restaurant is award winning and is located in a beautiful historic house right in town.
The cuisine is to die for!
Especially the chocolate plate for dessert.

4. At night under a clear starry sky, you simply must stargaze from the deck of The Evening Star. The deck has been designed so that you are immersed beneath a truly spectacular night sky. There are no streetlights that will affect your experience with unwanted light. Once you stand on that deck at night and take in the beauty of the sky up here, you'll want to sleep all day just to have enough energy to do it all again the next night.

5. Go for a day trip to up to Mount Hotham and Dinner Plain. On the way up to Mount Hotham you could stop off and walk across the Razorback to Mount Feathertop. The views and sense of space from up there are truly mind blowing. If you are feeling extravagant after this call in to the Dinner Plain Day Spa for a massage or dip in the Japanese inspired Onsen, or just kick back in the pub and have lunch or an ale.

There is so much to do and see you'll need a whole week!

The house was warm and comfortable and the view from our bedroom was fantastic. We wanted to stay for much longer and im sure we and our friend will be back "

  • "We said when we stayed here the first time that we couldn't wait to get back. Finally we made it back to the beautiful Evening Star and surrounding area. Staying here at the start of winter made it all the more special. Old Jack Frost outside and very cosy, warm and comfortable on the inside. There's nothing quite like the Evening Star after a day of touring. But don't jsut read this, experience it for yourself :)"
