Clean and tidy property and a fantastic location
This property was very clean, extremely well equiped, and with very comfortable beds. The property is dog friendly as both front and rear yards are secure. Advertising photographs of the property were however a little deceptive as they showed everything larger than it was in reality. Proximity of this property to all attractions of the area was excellent ensuring a wonderful vacation. We highly recommend this property to all wanting a relaxing easy holiday in Bright and the high country region.
House was well set up for two family’s with teenage children. The walk into town a good 35 minutes on the walking trial.

Lovely house right on the rail trail and a few minutes walk from the river, near some lovely paddling, fishing and floating spots. The house is spacious with large rooms upstairs and good space in the kitchen, lounge and dining area. We easily fit our family of 6 adults and 4 young children. Thanks for a great Bright holiday, we hope to be back!

Family of 10 from 15mouths to 64
Pretty comfortable for 10 of ua and our dogs. aircon sufficient for size of property, could do with single beds as adults don't do top bunks. Hot water run out 10pm at night and had to figure out how to fix as no instructions and gas tak where low. Lawn needs mowing and fences are in very bad state if your dog is out side need to keep eye on the all them times, bbq is very wobbly ans gas needs refilling. These are all small things.that need seeing too. They didn't have much impacted overall we had a lovely stay
This property was perfect for a large family with adult children as well as the family pets. Loved the location and the size of the property. It had everything we needed. Loved walking into Bright along the river track.

What a beautiful place Bright is, the accommodation was very comfortable and clean also a good price,This is the 2nd time we have stayed in this house and will be back next year 10/10
Bright lived up to its reputation as an MTB Mecca. House had everything we needed and was very comfortable. A little too far out of town to walk, but in a great location.
For the price, Wi-Fi would have been nice.

Great property for 2 families with kids, we had 4 adults and 4 kids and could have easily fit more! Nice location with a walking trail along the front past the beautiful trees and golf course. having a full laundry with 2 bathrooms and a kitchen fully decked out with crockery, cuttlrey, pots, pans & utensils was great!
Unfortunately, the property does not have internet and has very poor phone connection. This was a working retreat ready to use phone internet, it was a disaster.

Reviewer Comments:
The rental was clean, except for some white gel like substance on the master bedroom lamp and bedside table, although the rest was clean and in excellent condition. With a nice proximity to town and access to amenities. Only issue with the rental is no access the WiFi, and with the location there is no cellar connection either. Without WiFi and cellar the experience is much less enjoyable due to not being able to coordinate with other people if its a larger group like ours. Had to waste time driving to town for reception. This is definitely a glaring problem for the rental in this location. Would I recommend to a fried question? Yes but the WiFi issue needs to be addressed, or another solution. For alot of people that would be a deal breaker. But otherwise yes, location, access and condition of property were excellent!

Some Issues
Nice house but had some problems. Main one is there is no internet- the ad doesn’t say so but leaves it to you to figure out from the lack of being included in amenities. That would be OK if it wasn’t for the fact there is no mobile coverage either. That should have been made MUCH clearer in the ad.
Could have been cleaner- mess in the freezer, stuff under rugs. Air con in bedroom actually pumped out hot air because the filters were completely clogged.
Good spot- away from centre of Bright but close enough.

This well appointed holiday stay meant that our family were well served for a 5 day stay. Two dogs were able to safely contained, and the kitchen was well appointed for family meals. One down side was poor mobile service at the house for both the Telstra and Optus networks.
Great little 4 bedroom house with a great yard for dogs. Loved the walking track right outside the gate and very close to Bright town.
House was a little musty smelling when we went in, but we aired it out, and it was fine after that.
Nice and clean with everything we needed.
Perfect for 2 families

It's all about the little things, and there's plenty of room for improvement here. Generally clean, but heaps of annoying little faults. Not an ideal kitchen for cooking- get take away, no outdoor setting and BBQ cylinder may be empty. Best to check first.

Our first family holiday to the Bright area. Most enjoyable time in a beautiful part of the state. Accommodation was perfect for our needs. 6 adults and 3 children. Dog friendly fenced area was perfect.Only negative comment was lack of plugs (bath for children) and laundry sink. Also a washing basket would have been helpful.Would definitely recommend this accommodation, and location was very peaceful with pleasant easy walking path into town (20 minutes walk)

Clearly nobody had visited the property in awhile, lawn needed moving (could have lost a small dog in the back yard) Greeted by face full of cobwebs as we entered the house.Dead bird on the balcony, been there at least 1 month ! Beer bottle tops under the couch cushions. BBQ covered in bugs.If these simply things were addressed it’s an awesome family house in a great location, very comfortable.
Clean and tidy property, all linen provided. With the location phone service is limited would be handy for the property to have wifi just to be contactable when travelling in a group setting
