Cousins get together

We travel together every year and the 5 of us love a bedroom each. This house had spacious bedrooms and fully equipped kitchen. The setting was great and ample car parking too. Clean and tidy. Would stay here again

Swallows Rest

The property was everything as advertised, beautiful and very clean inside. Outside along the verandah and windows were lots of spiders and webs which I cleaned away but the property and surrounding properties were beautiful. Highly recommend this property to everyone.

Great property for group

We were a group of 10 adults and found the property very clean, with everything we required. The property has good outdoor areas and plenty of car parking space. It’s located in a quiet street. We liked how we had use of the double garage to store our motorbikes. It is also a short walk to the town which was good for us as we were on bikes. Will book again when l go to Bright.

Good accomodation for large Family

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: This home was a great size for our large family, and very clean. One reason we chose this home was because of the fireplace and wood heater. We very carefully lit the fire in the fireplace, and before long the house began to fill with smoke. We needed to open the doors and windows to be able to safely sleep at night. The house was listed with a BBQ but this was not operational, and some money was refunded because of this fact when I asked for compensation.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Swallows Rest. We will certainly follow up with regards to the fireplace and we do hope to see you again, next time you holiday in Bright.

Swallow’s rest review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed at this home 5 weeks ago and was disappointed that my concerns advised at that time had not been fully addressed.The garden was still in a very poor state, wifi was still not available abt the split system still not working. In saying that the home was very clean and comfortable.Work also needs to be done on the steps leading up to the house they are very uneven and one of my party had a fall, luckily no serious injuries.
Response from VrboOwner on Nov 21, 2022
Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback Margaret. We are pleased you found the home clean and comfortable. We are not aware of any issues with the WIFI and had you informed us of this at the time, perhaps we could have resolved this. The split system is due to be removed as the heating/cooling has been upgraded with a fully ducted system being recently installed. We do hope to see you next time you visit Bright.

Swallows review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good things: location and size of house.Bad things: cook top very old, bordering on unusable. We chose not to cook with it as it was in such bad condition. Many spider webs throughout house. Open fire place had soot throughout and made the house smell. Not many garbage bags, washing things (had to buy both). Outside furniture in tired condition.
Response from VrboOwner on Jan 17, 2023
Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback - we apologize for the inconvenience regarding the cook top and we are actually in the process of arranging a new replacement. We do hope to see you again next time you visit Bright.

Easter 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Bright at Easter for over 30 years, our families love spending Easter in Bright. Unfortunately, this years accommodation at Swallows Rest wasn’t the experience we usually encounter. Firstly, the BBQ wasn’t available (broken), then we soon found out the microwave also wasn’t useable. Next the cook top (gas) had only 1 hob functioning and the oven door had a broken hinge. Not sure how we were expected to feed our families! Dickens were wonderful with assisting us with a new microwave and a portable hot plate. This property certainly requires updates and replacement of essential cooking appliances.

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is in need of an overhall. Kitchen equipment needs upgrading - to working units. The BBQ was broken. The pipes banged at night disturbing the sleeping. The gate to the property had fallen off and the backyard garden glass shed/house was broken and full of smashed glass. The clothes dryer did not work and the wood fire was smoky. Other then that it was OK

Bright Surprise

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: The house was clean, tidy and had large lovely bedrooms. Unfortunately our stay was slightly compromised by a leaking out door BBQ which had to be decommissioned by a plumber. The stove top in the kitchen was also faulty and needs replacing. The micro wave stopped working and the out door table needs replacing. The Estate Agent looking after the property were fantastic and caring to deal with. We were able to negotiate a discount on our stay as a result.I would only recommend this property to others if the items listed were replaced.The lesson: Always ask if everything is in good working order before committing.Bright was also very busy at the start of the school holidays and it was hard to book anywhere to eat so be prepared to take your chance on what ever is available.
