Frequently Asked Questions
What is the inspiration behind BullerRoo?
The space is influenced by the incredibly scenic views. We designed the living space to take advantage of this with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows with both dining & lounge areas taking full advantage of the incredible vista. We also built a rooftop terrace with 360 degree views, which is the perfect place to sink into the bean bag chair and relax in the fresh high country air. We’ve used stone walls and a timber cladded ceilings to create texture and warmth. The cosy atmosphere is enhanced with a cast-iron fireplace – making for a wonderful evening atmosphere with dim lights & the star-filled night sky. As the space is designed to be an escape retreat, it was important that we create a modern and functional kitchen, generous bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom with an oversized double shower.
What do guests love most about BullerRoo?
It’s the location. The views and landscape are incredible and we always get complimented on this. Our guests really enjoy relaxing on the rooftop deck and soaking it all in. The property is set amongst hundreds of acres of natural bush and farmland. The opportunity to get up & close to nature in such a luxurious setting is something guests truly enjoy.

Our weather - different in every season
Winter is crisp & cold, and sometimes snowy – a lovely experience if it happens for your stay. You can stay warm by the fire (or flick on the convenience of the ducted heating) while taking in the snow capped peaks of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling from June to September typically. Spring becomes a lovely green after the cold of winter with plenty of lovely blossom to enjoy! While, in Summer with bright blue skies above the mountains it’s the perfect opportunity for a swim in the local snow melt river waters, and in Autumn you will see the striking orange, reds and yellows in the trees – lots of fantastic photo opportunities!

Both spaces are warm and cosy in winter and cool is summer! Instructions are provided to help with regulating the temperature whether it is for the coolness of air-conditioning or the warmth of heating.
