Testimonials

"From the moment we set foot inside we realised the "Million Dollar Mountain Views" was an understatement. This place is truly priceless. An amazing place that provided us with all the essentials to relax, unwind, appreciate wildlife and nature. Just magical!!"
Mark & Suzi.

"Thank you for providing such a magical place. The balcony is ideal for inspiration, thought and perspective. I came here to getaway; to make the world stop. I achieved much more than a holiday. I feel inspired, energised and ready to start anew. The stars were spectacular, the ambience calming. Your home helps to influence all of natures wonder into whoever visits. Thank you."
Kylie


"Our stay was one of the best experiences in a very long time.
Great location, quiet, immaculate and the owners seemed to think of everything.
We have already recommended The Evening Star to many of our friends even though we would rather keep it a secret. "
Robert, VICTORIA


"Thank you for letting my family stay in your beautiful house. We could not have wished for anything more perfect. The city stress melted from our shoulders as we sat on your decking. We loved the house design; we kept wondering how we could have a holiday house just like it!!! We hope we can come again."
Karen Pinkus

"We had a delightful stay in Wandi. Loved the house, the views, and the stars. Looking forward to our next stay."
Gabrielle and Alistair, Vic

"From opening the front door of The Evening Star I felt instantly at home. The place manages to provide first class, contemporary accommodation with a cosy, welcoming feel. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan to return some time soon. "
Bernadette, VIC

"Great house, best equipped self-contained accomodation we have encountered. Thanks for having us."

5 Things that you MUST do while staying here:

1. Visit Mount Buffalo national park. It is a half hour drive, and visually spectacular. You must do a walk, and see what the world looks like from this amazing rock formation. Take a swim in the pure granite swimming holes or hire a canoe on lake Catani.

2. Have a coffee or lunch at the Wandi Maze. It is a 5 minute walk from the house through the historic diggings. Try a piece of the enormous delicious passionfruit sponge cake!

3. At night under a clear starry sky, you simply must stargaze from the deck of The Evening Star. The deck has been designed so that you are immersed beneath a truly spectacular night sky.

4.. Go for a day trip to up to Mount Hotham and Dinner Plain. On the way up to Mount Hotham you could stop off and walk across the Razorback to Mount Feathertop. The views and sense of space from up there are truly mind blowing. However if you just feel like hanging around Wandi and chilling on the deck of The Evening Star- there's no better place to be!

There is so much to do and see you'll need a whole week!

Perfect spot to just sit and relax, close enough to Bright to duck in and grab a coffee or some dinner, yet far enough to not have the hustle and bustle of Bright when its busy.

Home away from home
We had a such a lovely visit to the area and the accommodation made it all the better. The hosts were quick to respond, and they have thought of pretty much everything you need to have a wonderful stay. The provisions included was a nice touch. There is enough space for 2 couples or a family and the fire pit and views are amazing.

So spacious and comfortable
We stayed for 4 nights and it was the most enjoyable accommodation experience we've had in years. The property is incredibly spacious which was so lovely as we live in a compact house in Melbourne. The spa bath was brilliant and the surroundings were quiet and beautiful. Our 4 days were very hot so we didn't fully use the deck space but in slightly cooler weather it would have been lovely. The house was well air conditioned and had everything that we needed. We had a brilliant birthday lunch for my husband at 5 Acres - which was a short walk from the property. We plan to come back!

Great location. Beautiful scenery.
The house was in a wonderful location with amazing bushwalking tracks behind the property. The property itself could have been a little cleaner and the kitchen needs to be better stocked. But it was overall a great size and suited our family well.

A little slice of heaven
The evening star was above and beyond our expectations, such a beautifully designed and executed property. From the layout to the decor everything was top tier. The scenery was stunning and only amplified by getting to enjoy it on the deck in the winter sun. Everything has been thought of and the added extras (breakfast and a bottle of wine) were a welcome bonus. Couldn’t recommend this property more highly. We are already looking forward to going back

Why they chose this property

We saw this property in a Real Estate Window in Melbourne in 2010 , viewed it on-line and loved its setting . Next day we drove up to Bright and as soon as we caught our first glimpse of the house, we knew it would be special .How could we not purchase a home as beautiful as The Evening Star, for Bright was our most favourite holiday destination . We purchased this house the following day and immediately went on a mission to upgrade its offerings and to provide guests with a stay that is nurturing , nourishing , memorable and indulgent . We have many guests that return over and over again as the Bright , Wine and High Country has so much to offer for all ages .
