Great place to stay. A few km from Bright, right on the rail trail and the river nearby.So much space in the house could have had a couple of families in comfort.And the pool is super - refreshing, clean and a great size!No mobile reception but wifi at the property.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location
Over priced
This property is way overpriced. The filter on the pool wasnt working until the pool man came on day 6 of our 8 day stay (i did call on day one to letvthem know). Outdoors needed a good cleanup eg: tables and chairs we filthy and we had to scrub them. The house itself was very clean. Dont expect riverfront as its not. Overall the price is way too high. I rent houses every year, and yes i was disappointed.

Very disappointed
The beginning of the house was decent
After the first day the pool filter broke down, there was multiple injuries but no first aid kit to help. The communication with the manager was very bad, they didn’t help much with anything besides the pool. There was no wifi and would take hours for even a single message to get sent on a mobile device because of the lack of wifi. There was multiple cracks in the roof and that wasn’t known of when they gave us the house.
Very rude communication, they seemed very unbothered to help, the jacuzzi didn’t even work. Seemed very good from the outside but was very disappointing on the inside. Besides that the garden and rooming was very good, everything was well kept and clean and labelled which helped. It was overall a very good stay but disappointing aswell.

Dangerous!!! Hazard of being electrocuted when it rains, spider webs so make sure you have antidote, dust so cary mask with you and last but not least you won’t be short of men’s underwear. Just look around and you’ll find them.

Wonderful restful stay in lovely garden, close to river and bridge on rail trail.
I had 2 peaceful days by myself and then family and friends arrived. Plenty of space for everyone, even for personal time in a large group.

Reviewer Comments:
A great location on the rail trail with easy push bike access to both Bright and Porpunkah. House was great and easily accommodated 3 families with plenty of room to move. Kids loved the pool! Highly sensitive neighbour so you will need to be mindful of regular family noise even in the middle of the day! Some rooms were better than others, I think the master could do with an upgrade to bring it in line with the rest of the accomodation, it was hot and stuffy, and ensuite bathroom had no ventilation. Overall though we were happy and had a great time. The area is breathtaking
