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."

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 for two couples ‘The Evening Star’ is a delightful holiday home offering a spacious sunlit home in a picturesque locale within a short drive from the town of Bright. We particularly appreciated the peaceful location, excellent fireplace, large kitchen, comfy beds, bathtub and fire pit. The large tv was great for the guys keen to watch the World Cup.

Splendid Stay! Modern, cozy, and so welcoming. Loved the space, the throws and games too! The fireplace was spectacular and the highlight for us! The kitchen was well equipped and we loved the breakfast pack. The outdoor area was beautiful too perfect for outdoor dining and sitting. Loved that the hand and body washes etc that were eco-friendly plant based formulas with no synthetic fragrances - we all highly appreciated that. Communication was easy and very helpful. Highly recommend and would stay again!

This is a luxury stay and impeccable accomodation. Evening Star has a WOW factor rarely seen before.The first thing you notice is the expansive deck with the most fantastic views and then on the inside, high quality furnishing and an abundance of hospitality.Everything was spotless, a big shout out to Gail who keeps the house immaculate.There’s a sense of generosity from the hosts, from the fresh breakfast items, to every kitchen and bathroom appliance you could ever need. There’s deck became our temporary home for one sunny afternoon and two perfect star filled nights. There is an abundance of outdoor settings to cater for every whim.We didn’t want to leave and will plan to return for a week.It’s perfect for two couples, yet I’d treat yourselves and come on your own. The spa bath, complimentary wine ( so good we bought six bottles to take home) nibbles and a roaring fire made for a wonderful weekend away. Thank you!
