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.

House needs some work to charge amount of rent

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is lovely and in a beautiful setting. 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

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.

Great for two families

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely cottage style house.Did worried us that there was no wifi and we had no Telstra internet inside the house with a creek at the back of the place. Not recommended for small children to stay. Optus had reception which was strange. The curtain pullers needed to be attached to the walls due to regulations (again not safe for young kids) The neighbours dog was a nice surprise to see at the back door one morning, the kids had a blast with her. Was great to see wildlife at the back of the place.

Awesome house on a stunning piece of land with a running creek on the property that can be seen and heard from the gorgeous deck and the lounge room with huge windows. Just beautiful. Wandiligong is the best.

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

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed many times at Growlers Creek Lodge. The house is very comfortable. There is usually a quiet babbling brook the grandchildren can play in, but this time it was a raging torrent, a different but fascinating experience. It is a lovely quiet base to explore the Wandi valley and visit the places my relatives settled in the 1860s

Growlers Creek Lodge Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My vacation rental experience was excellent! The property was beautiful and much larger than we expected. I stayed in the house with seven other of my college friends and we had a blast. The kitchen was amazing! We cooked many meals together. We watched movies on the TV and the couches were so spacious! The bedroom and bathroom spaces were great, with modern facilities and heaters in each room. The hanging space for clothes was very spacious. I have nothing bad to say about this place!

Fabulous home in an amazing setting

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Growlers Creek Lodge! such a comfortable well appointed home but its the setting that keeps bringing us back. Completely surrounded by trees and views of the surrounding hills. We had visits from local kangaroos, birds and even caught a yabbie in the creek in the back yard! There is a beautiful expanse of lawn and listening to the sound of the creek is so relaxing. No cars, no noise, perfect for people from the city who want to get away from it all and only 5 minutes drive to Bright.

Great Getaway in Bright

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful setting away from town but not too far away. Great layout for our family grouping. Clean and spacious. Warm and cosy with the fire going which created a lovely atmosphere.Our only comments are in regards to kitchen, cooking and BBQ facilities. The stove was difficult to work out (no instructions); the BBQ wasn't great; the pots,pans,crockery,glasses,utensils etc could all do with a re-vamp and tidy up and present a lot better. However, we loved our holiday and would book again.

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.
