Really pleasant stay
This well appointed property gave off a real cosy cottage style appeal. He river behind the property makes it unique. Definitely one to revisit in the summer. Only suggestion is to consider upgrading the internet connection. It would be a real bonus when visiting with small kids or being able to do some work while away.

Perfect location
We really love the property especially the outdoors.there is plenty to do in outdoor area and inside the living area.Few things which need to be look upon.First one is, there is only one toilet and shower and they both are in same room which makes it hard for large group lime ours.Shower was leaking and the water was coming into the carpet which I think can be fixed.Also they need to supply more dishes in the kitchen as our large group of 8 had to wash and reuse all the time..Buy instead of all these issues, we enjoyed our stay.Would love to come back but in a smaller group.

neighbours from hell
Neighbours partied till 3am.all the neighbourhood dogs use the back yard as a toilet and were constantly running around,to the point we stayed indoors.The overall state and cleanliness of the house was pretty good except for the mould smell coming from the bathroom.We had to make sure the door was closed at all times and the window left open.The house is situated in a lovely position but unfortunately our stay was ruined by the above mentioned.

Beautiful property in tranquil location
We stayed here for a week on a snow trip. The property looks unprepossessing from the outside but inside it is just delightful. Excellent size for 6 people.
Major pluses: The location - lots of lovely walks and the river just in your backyard. 30 mins to Mt Buffalo and the snow. Close to Bright and Porepunkah while still feeling rural and relaxed. Super comfy beds and heated blankets :) The mattress in the main bedroom was amazing - we got the best sleep. Very well stocked kitchen and laundry - good for drying wet snowy children's clothes. Shed full of wood for the fire which was lovely. A couple of extra toboggans in the shed which proved useful for parents to borrow!
A few things that could be improved: We couldn't get the internet to work. Only one bathroom/toilet for 6 people - needed careful management. The kitchen has a dishwasher but there was no cutlery holder so we hand-washed more than we would normally. Lovely crockery but the plates are large/thick and stack awkwardly in the dishwasher. When it rained we had a tiny roof leak outside the bathroom. However these are really minor things. We honestly had such a great stay here - thanks!

Perfect location with a good set up. The access to the River is fantastic.
The house is fitted out with everything you need. Great fire pit & indoor fire with good wood supply (we did bring some of our own too). Comfortable living area. Comfortable bedrooms. It was like a bush camp on the river but with the comforts of a home. Highly recommend for a small group or couple of families. Only 10 minute drive to Bright & plenty of other attractions.

My family and I had such an amazing time at this property. The house is beautifully designed and all amenities were wonderful. We enjoyed the books, jenga, a fully stocked kitchen with basic tea and coffee. The backyard opens to a beautiful river where we all jumped in and had a great time. The house was clean and fresh towels and sheet were on everyone’s beds. I would totally recommend this place for someone looking for a quite tranquil time in bright. It’s a short drive to the main area of bright and a walk to Sinclaire’s water hole.

Fantastic location and good property
Overall this is a great property and should be considered due to an awesome location and the amenities and overall house is great. However the property was not very well cleaned upon arrival. Also the internet was so poor that I couldn't work... Basic text only... Could not even upload or download an image let alone even try to watch Netflix.
