Home away from home
Spacious, clean and modern with everything you could want for a comfortable stay. The showers in particular were outstanding - better water pressure than at home! Nice front porch with park views. Great little lock up shed for bikes. Location only a couple of minutes from the main drag, and very close to the mountain bike park.

Spacious and well appointed house, was very comfortable and had everything one would need for a stay in Bright. It was just my partner and myself staying but would be perfect for 2 couples or a small family. Check out the Wanda pub down the road!

The perfect accommodation for a Bright stay
We absolutely loved our stay in View 1. The location is perfect, right near the bike and walking tracks and not too far to walk to the river. The house is immaculate and well presented and clearly treated with a lot of love by the owners. It’s a fantastic space and was very comfortable for us as a family. The shower is seriously one of the best! The beds are very comfortable and so is the sofa. The hosts are very attentive and quick to respond. We loved the house so much that we have rebooked our next trip already! The photos online do not do the place justice, it’s even more perfect in person. Highly recommended.

Perfect, just as described.
If we return to Bright we would stay at Glen’s property again. It was as described, very clean and a great space. The bikes were well catered for & location for biking, walking & running was perfect. It was very cosey with comfortable beds, separate bathrooms for couples was excellent. The kitchen is very spacious and the laundry was handy for sweaty bike clothes. We found it close enough to town to walk if needed to enjoy the great restaurants, Bright had to offer. Glen communicated very well with us & was nice to chat with in person as well.
