We invite you to slowly discover the house over your stay as there are many delightful details and books to inspire and engage. The first detail that will captivate you when entering the front door at Bridgewater is the breathtakingly, elegant spaces made up of a thousand small, yet impeccable, touches. From the stunning and unique furniture pieces, the stately artwork, perfectly chosen light fittings, vintage decor pieces, all combined with tiny comforts that evoke the natural sounds, sights, and smells of the bush. Indoors Light Bright but with a sense of refinement, the interiors of this designer Retreat features multiple sitting and dining areas, so you can enjoy the luxury of having everyone together or steal a quiet moment browsing the beautifully curated book collection. The common spaces are found predominately on the Ground Floor, with the heart of the home an open-concept fully equipped kitchen and family room where you can perch at the breakfast bar or share a bottle of wine with the wood fire glowing in the winter months, or perhaps cuddle up as a family in one of the two TV rooms and watch your favourite movie. Its contemporary gourmet kitchen features chef-grade appliances along with an island prep area and butlers pantry that boasts our signature tea and coffee station. The indoor dining space is perfect while the dining room offers a large rustic wooden table, and ample windows to the yard, its positioning also provides the perfect opportunity for the chef of the house to still be part of the fun whilst cooking up a feast in the kitchen. One of the most unique features of Big Sky Retreats is the popular fitness space. The converted garage space provides the ultimate multipurpose fitness and chill out space. Made up of a lounge nook inclusive of large flat screen TV where you can sit back and relax after a hard day of cycling, a personal fitness space equipped with commercial quality Star Trac Spin Bikes, Everest boxing gear, Physio recommended Yoga equipment as well as bicycle storage racks, and ski gear storage.
