Wonderful weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Bright River Cottage. Having stayed in a lot of places I have come to believe that a well appointed kitchen is a sign of a well looked after holiday home. And this has it all. We could not fault the place for comfort, space, cleanliness and appointment. We were 6 people aged 14-83 and two dogs and we leave Bright River Cottage with sadness and hope to return.

Beautiful house next to the river

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Beautiful cosy house, with modern kitchen and bathroom. Their fireplace seem to have been updated recently. It has great access to the river walk as well as only short walk to town centre. The only improvement is wiping dust layer from the bedside table. Overall a very comfortable home. We definitely will return again in the future when visiting Bright. Thank you for a lovely stay.

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: Family of 5 and it felt like a home away from home for us.It was the small touches like the electric blankets on the bigger beds to keep you warm that we loved too. The home itself is clean and in peak winter it warmed quickly with the fireplace and/or reverse cycle heater. Oil heaters available for each bedroom too so no-one was going to be cold at night. Toys in the cupboard for the children was a huge hit and having a fully equipped kitchen with everything from scissors to plastic plates and bowls was awesome. It felt like the owners must spend time here for the house to be so well stocked and excellent appliances (dryer, dishwasher, coffee machine and microwave and great oven). Great location - loved being able to walk to dinner in the evening. We just had the best time and would love to stay again. Thank you for sharing your home with us - we loved it!

Location walking distance to town

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat 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: Beautiful kitchen and bathroom, comfortable beds. Location great walking distance to everything. Disappointed however that they don’t tell you there is a construction of units happening along one side of the house. Couldn’t open blinds in lounge area otherwise staring into a construction site. They still charged full amount. The accommodation managers were unhelpful when it came to us trying to reschedule. A business in Bright needed to reschedule us as we were there delivering and assembling to a local business. Being outside the 14 cancellation period by a few days, bad luck you will still be charged full amount or if reschedule that would cost $110 just to change the date.. so unreasonable! I would not go through them ever again.

Great place, shame about the tradies next door

Great property. Workers building the house next door were on site with tools and music by 7.15am, Saturday morning. Big detraction and one which holiday makers should be warned about.

Cosy Cottage - Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The Bright Riverside Cottage is a newly renovated, cosy cottage overlooking the Ovens River. The location is meters away from the main shops, but tucked away privately. You walk out the front gate and the river is at your feet. It was lovely to return from a day of adventures and curl up on the comfy couches in front of the wood fire. We also appreciated the split system and individual heaters in the bedrooms. Would recommend this house on all levels - comfort, cosiness and location.
