Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
House has everything you could want, including enough cutlery and crockery etc for when friends come over for a BBQ. We loved log the fire (so did our dog!) and misty mornings. Communications with managers was excellent. Comfy beds, great storage, fabulous deck with stunning views out the front. If Mount Buffalo is your favourite place in the world then this spot is for you, great walks nearby (including the Big Walk) we will certainly be back.
Comfortable, no stress, we’ll appointed house, perfect to sit on the deck with a glass of wine and a view of the mountain. Plenty of bird life. Also very welcoming to our dog who had a lovely time too.
Great location and the macaroon treats were tasty with a cuppa. The stay was very enjoyable and comfortable. Will recommend it to friends.

Location was great - so close to National Park
It was very quiet and peaceful
Huge trees at the front, garden was nice
The house had all the required amenities - we loved the Wi games..
The only disappointment was that it looked tired from the perspective of cleanliness.
The microwave was dirty - food crumbs still in the microwave; there was hair in the freezer! and the fridge shelves hadn't being wiped clean properly
It was dusty and the back and front deck looked like it hadn't been swept for a long time - stools, chairs, tables were dusty and cobwebs and rubbish easily seen...the bathroom also had hair in the shower....the couch had old lolly wrappers under the cushions too...
I like the property for its location and price was reasonable, but we were let down by the standard of cleaning.
Probably wouldn't go back again - but it was ok for what we needed it for...
The owners or managers did text us to see if we were ok before checking in - so That was nice...
It had a good backyard- but not so good for our senior dogs as they had difficulty getting up the steep stairs to access the lawn area...
Overall it was good - but it could have been greater if the cleaning was better

Comfortable property in a great location for visiting the region

Lovely location
I brought my dog and unfortunately every time we stepped outside the dog next door went into a barking frenzy. My dog doesn’t respond but it was a shame to have that anytime we walked outside. Cute accommodation and very relaxing. Very clean. Fenced yard good if you don’t have a dog that jumps fences as not very high. Once again, refer to the highly excitable next door dog... mine doesn’t react so not a problem but something to be aware of.

Wonderful house and stunning part of the world!
Loved this place especially the view and the balcony. It was wonderful to bring our dog Pesky along. Its about 10 minutes to Bright in the car and the national park is very close. Hope to stay again soon.

Very good property
Had a lovely time at Crystalbrook Cottage. We booked the cottage in order to get away from the extreme heat of last weekends weather...thus the air conditioning was important and was glad to say that all worked extremely well. The cottage is very well kept, clean and very well equipped. Beds are comfy and the views are really lovely. Only two small gripes: a teapot is needed and some grown up (non plastic) cutlery please...especially the dessert spoons! Not sure why the cutlery is as it is...strange and doesn't gel with the place at all

Perfect bushland setting
This is the perfect spot for experiencing Mt Buffalo National Park! A beautiful home with comfy furniture and great big windows from which you can enjoy the surrounds and listen to the amazing birdlife. Our furry friend loves it too - with a lovely grassy backyard and expansive deck we loved to sit on and soak up the smells and sounds of the bush. Perfect!

Very good property
We really enjoyed staying at Crystalbrook Cottage, the only drawback is that the toilet is in the bathroom, otherwise everything was perfect, great selection of movies! The bed was a little hard for me.

Perfect
A fantastic renovated house in a beautiful location with great views at the front and back. Our dogs loved running around the back yard with lots of shelter as well. We could enjoy it with them with the bar stools at the back patio and listen to all the birds. Huge bedrooms, cool on a very hot weekend, very clean, everything you need!!

Ideal in all aspects
Myself and my two whippets loved our time at crystalbrook cottage. Very clean, modern and serene location (while still being quite close to Bright). Very big, secure back yard to allow dogs to investigate freely
