Growlers Creek is nestled amongst the natural beauty of Wandiligong, where you can simply relax at home or explore the beautiful heritage valley and its history, including the Wandi Wander, Royal Bridge Walk and The Diggings Walk with its Chinese Swing Bridge giving a hint to some of the locals of old.

Home away from home

Scenic location, whether it's in the mountains and surrounded by nature. The holiday home is designed for comfort and relaxation—spacious rooms, a fully equipped kitchen.Please cut the grass near the creek.

Beautiful Wandi Stay

This is a lovely house in Wandi. It is on a a quiet stress off the main road with Growler's creek running through the backyard. The creek isn't deep but is great for paddling in hot weather. The view is beautiful. The bedrooms are spacious. For younger kids there were a range of toys and games.

Perfect weekend, well definitely be back

We loved our weekend in this house. It was very spacious and comfortable. Clean and well appointed and a beautiful outlook from the living room out onto a lawn and creek at the end of the bedroom. The only minor critique is there seemed to be very low water pressure, especially hot water, so the spa bath took a very long time to fill. But in the scheme of things wet found this minor and it wouldn't stop us staying again.

Wandiligong gem

We loved our time in this property and were very grateful for such a comfortable home and garden that could fit our large family, - Although limited hot water made showers for 7 people hard. It was a terrific home base from which we could travel to and from snow fields and enjoy beautiful Wandiliging and Bright

Serene and picturesque

Lovely setting and comfortable for family time with adult children. Cute town and close to lovely walks and spectacular Mt Buffalo. Need to stagger showers as hot water not sufficient for multiple sequential showers. No internet service- not a problem if you plan ahead.

Short getaway

The property was situated in a really great area to enjoy all that the region has to offer, it would be a great house that you could enjoy it all year not just the snow season. We hope to be back in the future.

Beautiful property and in great location

Well maintained property in a beautiful location. Good for gateway with friends and family. However we were not happy with the hot water system as the water turned cold after three to four people had their shower. Long wait before you get hot water again.

A Little Piece of Paradise

This was a magical place to stay. The house was well set up and I particularly liked the fact that the main bedrooms were very separate. My husband and I like to get up early so we had the lovely bedroom with ensuite at the back of the house (with the view of the creek). This enabled us to get up and potter without disturbing our friends. They had the room at the front of the house, and we were able to close off the door so they could be left in peace. The deck off the living area was a lovely sun trap and a great place to enjoy a glass of wine. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space. Location wise, it was quiet, and very peaceful with kangaroos and rabbits to greet you most mornings. It was walking distance to the Wandi pub, and the Diggings Walk and only a five minute drive from Bright. There was information available for walks in the surrounding area which was a great help. The only downside (not for me!!) was there is no wifi, and mobile phone coverage was extremely patchy. If you are looking for that special place to relax and unwind, then this is definitely an option worth investigating.

However bbq filthy which we spent considerable time cleaning, no where to stand bottles in fridge, front room tv doesn’t work, bottom bunk bed lumpy and extremely uncomfortable.Bbq gas bottle not full, had to replace batteries in tv remote, kitchen stovetop needs instructions (couldn’t we code as there is no service). Windows with cobwebs.Beautiful house but money needs to be spent To bring it up to scratch. Was disappointing as last time we stayed there iit was better

Nice place with some inconveniences

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great with a nice kitchen, living area and bathrooms. The issue was with there being no internet- no wifi available- and no network showing up for Telstra and Vodafone inside the house. I think it would be essential for this house to have wifi installed- as we couldn’t even Netflix for the kids to keep them occupied. As there was no signal for our mobile phones - hotspots did not work either. There were so many TVs in the property it’s a pity we couldn’t really make use of any of take calls we had to step out of the house- where 1 5G came up when outside. The other issue was the hot water- it runs out after a two or three of us have our showers and not long showers either. Without the above being fixed I would not recommend this place.
