Welcome to Top of the Town. Perched on a hillside, this couples retreat backs onto state forest and takes in exquisite views of the township of Bright and further up the valley towards Harrietville.
Before you even enter this home, you’re welcomed by a large deck with al fresco area to wine and dine everyone, your own plunge pool & fire pit giving you something to enjoy in every season.
This three bedroom, two bathroom home is ideal for a romantic getaway or three couples. All bedrooms are furnished with king beds and enjoy beautiful outlooks. Your modest bathrooms include a freestanding claw-foot bath and separate corner shower and for those longer stays away you also have all the essentials in you separate laundry to see you through.
Bedroom 1 : King bed Bedroom 2 : King bed Bedroom 3 : King bed
On entry to Top of the Town you are greeted by an open living and dining area with sunken lounge room that surrounds a cosy enclosed wood fire. The dining area features a beautiful dining table and adjoins the well-equipped kitchen should you choose to enjoy the occasional dinner at home.
No doubt the view from the kitchen window will have a bounty of wildlife meandering by in the early evenings, with its outlook directly into the neighbouring bushland. Bespoke styling along with high ceilings and an abundance of windows give this older home and sense of luxury.
Top on the Town is only 600m to Brights shopping strip however only the keen walkers may choose to walk given the steep climb back to the property. A worthwhile sacrifice for the views you get to enjoy at the top.
+ Unfortunately this property is not suitable for children under 12 years of age. + The access to the property from the carpark is a very steep path. Please be aware of this to ensure it will suit your group. + The pool and spa are not heated

Very good

Not what we expected from the photos and information
The house is well presented but not well maintained. The en-suite for example, was painted brick and peeling paint, and Laminex. The house is an older one. To access the house we had to climb a very steep, slopping driveway that really needed a lot of steps on the side for personal access. I struggled to get up and down. I’m in my seventies. (In my initial request to book said we were retirees). There is a mention of this difficult entrance somewhere in the description apparently, but not clearly stated. It was not made much of in the couple of reviews we read, but I’m sorry I didn’t read more of them before booking.. It made dragging in suitcases, shopping etc a challenge.The photos gave us the impression that it was in a semi-rural setting but this is not the case. We were very disappointed. It would be ok for younger people.
Wonderful property wouldnt hesitate to recommend.
Will more than likely stay again
One minor issue, there was very little firewood left for the wood burner, had to buy our own.
Best regards Kelvin & Jill Winter
