About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

THE POACHED PEAR : Bright

What a sanctuary. This home is truly an oasis. You are welcomed into the home through an abundant garden alive with lustrous flowers, well established trees & and an almost fairy like magic, all while being nestled on the banks of Bakers Gully Creek.

The Poached Pear is 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a space for everyone in the family or group to claim their own private nook. It may be the spacious outdoor garden, elevated deck with private areas on either side of the house, either of the 2 living spaces, 2 dining areas, by either of the 2 wood fires or the serenity of the relaxation room. Need I say more.

Each bedroom is fitted with a luxurious queen bed and ample wardrobe space to really settle in for those longer stays. No bedrooms have an ensuite which allows all guests to access any of the 3 spacious, modern bathrooms. Enjoy a quick rain shower or steep in the deep free-standing bath to rejuvenate after a hard day's fun, read a book or simply gaze out the large window directly into the private outdoor garden, the choice is yours.

Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Queen bed
Bedroom 4: Queen bed

The relaxation room is decked out with a chaise, floor to ceiling window and is the perfect place for a quiet read, a spot of yoga and ideal for a sneaky afternoon nap when no one's looking.
This property would be perfect for 4 couples or 2 small families as the layout really allows you to create 2 separate spaces if you choose. The fully equipped kitchen services the entire house and a second preparation area can be an alternative for your pre dinner nibbles and wine or separate dining space for the children. The kitchen is complete with all your mod cons so you can whip up home cooked meals for the nights you just want to stay in although with all the dining options around town you may not even bother.

The living areas are both fitted with their own TV, wood fires & reverse cycle and both comfortably seat 4 to 6 people. The home also has a fully equipped European laundry for those longer stays or to refresh your gear after harsh winter days up in the ski fields or out on the mountain bike track. There's also a second washing machine fitted outdoors for any overflow.

And for those Summer nights The Poached Pear has a 6-seater outdoor setting and gas BBQ to bask in the crisp Alpine evenings.
You are just over 1km to the centre of town and is a comfortable 15-minute stroll if you'd prefer to leave the car at home.

The Poached Pear is a must stay. Little hidden gem.

From the moment you walk into the Poached Pear you can feel the love that has gone into this property. 4 gorgeous bedrooms and the beds are so comfortable. Lounging back in the recliners and watching a movie on Netflix, looking out at the trees around us. Dinner on the BBQ and sitting at the massive dining table. The appliances are super high quality and they have everything that you need, from the coffee machine to the hand soap at every sink. The trees surround you and it’s just so peaceful yet it’s a 2 minute drive into town. We love love love The Poached Pear and would love to come back. Trena, Marion, Wendy and Joanne.
