Perfect Family Getaway
Catherine was easy to communicate with. We had a slight problem with our son's dog but Catherine was very understanding in solving the issue. The gift of dog bag and snacks was very welcome. The house is exactly as described and the lovely garden a bonus. I loved that everyone had their own very comfortable bedroom and ensuite! It was also such a welcome change to see summer coverlets provided. Always a problem with winter duvets in the summer. We were a family of 9 of assorted ages and we all loved our stay and want to do it again next year. The study is perfect for toddlers and excess gear. The kitchen is well equipped. Books, games and DVD's supplied. The family enjoyed the pool and the dog, the lawn area. It was difficult to find a quality house that allowed dogs in and out but this was perfect. A 15 minute walk to town.

Absolutely Perfect in every way!
The house was just perfect. The size was ideal for two families with children - our children ranged from aged 9 to 14 years of age and the size and accommodation was fantastic and we loved the pool. The house and property were so clean and well maintained, it was just like staying at a 5 star hotel and there was plenty of cutlery, crockery, saucepans and a huge BBQ. The house is in a really quiet area, set amongst lovely gardens and we enjoyed the short walk into town for meals. The owners were amazing to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and really easy to book and communicate with. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

Fabulous Fairlight
A group of 8 of us stayed at this fabulous property. What a beautiful house! The cleanest property I’ve ever stayed in and everything was there at your fingertips, even small touches like doggy doo bags outside for your dogs business (though we didn’t have a dog) I thought this very thoughtful. Unbelievably comfortable king size beds and every bedroom had its own en-suite, a very welcome addition when there are 8 or 10 of you staying in the same house....,just wonderful not having to wait for someone to vacate the bathroom or not having to rush because someone is waiting. The property manager was just lovely and extremely accommodating and very helpful. I highly rate this property and I intend to return with my family again and again. Do yourself a favour and spend some time in this beautiful, comfortable home in the gorgeous, picturesque town of bright. Can’t rate this property high enough ❤️❤️❤️

2 night stay in Bright
This property is beautiful both inside and out. There was 7 adults (all over 60) that came to stay. 2 of us from England. The five on suite bedrooms were beautiful. The bathrooms were very modern and of a very high standard. 4 rooms with king size beds and one with 2 large singles. It had all the amenities that you could wish for with loads of DVDs and games which kept us entertained. The pool was beautiful. There is lots to see and do in the surrounding area. Catherine is a lovely lady and makes you feel very welcome in her home.

Why they chose this property

We have travelled the world and every time we come home we realise just how unique the town is.

Bright has everything you could want for a holiday and keeps getting better all the time

Something for all seasons – bush walking, bike riding, fishing, wineries, gourmet restaurants, clean air, skiing, history. The list is endless.

And this house is just perfect for your ideal getaway

BIG TIP FOR SELECTING A HOLIDAY PROPERTY IN BRIGHT
It is the Ovens River that really is the heart of Bright.
In choosing a property to holiday in make sure you are as close to the River as you can be. As a general rule of thumb if you can get a view in Bright you are up a hill and away from the River. It also means you are some distance away from town as Bright township itself is very flat and based along the banks of the River.
Views are NOT what you want in Bright

What makes this property unique

This is the only property in Bright where every bedroom has a bathroom.

Combine this with the saltwater pool and ideal location it is simply the most luxurious house on offer in Bright

It is pet friendly with pets welcome inside and a fully fenced back garden for them to sniff the country smells

And now with a piano

It is perfectly set up for groups who want luxury and space.
