Lovely hideaway with fabulous location

Comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden. Terrific location with easy access to town and ovens river. The bathtub (with shower) had a high, wide ledge that was a bit tricky for my 70 mum to negotiate. Art work was a little confronting but overall a lovely holiday house.

Not what the pictures portrayed. Bit disappointed but we're comfortable enough. Need more mirrors (we were 5 women aged 45-65) . Bath was a bit tricky for us oldies, trying to get in/out of. The fan over top bunk might decapitate someone if left going while top bunk in use. But, we had a great weekend in your gorgeous town. Will definitely revisit.

Great position, quiet street.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great spot. House was definitely older than the pictures implied. Would be cold in Winter as there are gaps everywhere around doors and windows, but heaters worked ok except one bedroom where the heater didn't work.Getting up to the toilet in the middle of the night woke everyone as every door sqeeks and all floorboards creak.Would definitely stay again though as the price reflected the gripes we had.

Lots of heaters to keep this neat little place warm. Our girls (4&9 year olds) loved it, and parents also happy with everything - all generations happy. Thank you.

All you need - MTB friendly

We arrived for a MTB weekend - house was clean , and comfortable , shower if the fantastic original type shower head and water nice and warm . Kitchen is small but all we needed. Perhaps could have coffee capsule machine , otherwise all was great. Back yard has superb little fire pit area , with hose and bine hooks under cover - they’d left pump available - didn’t need it but sentiment was great Heaters work to well :) but you have control of that :) Great for our four people - thanks vendors / hosts

Quiet relaxed cottage

Had a lovely stay (too short) at Whychesbrook Cottage. The cottage was clean, close to the centre of town but in a very quiet area and had everything we needed. We would be happy to come back and stay there again.

Great place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Location was excellent - so close to the town centre and could walk easily with young kids. The house was adequate for our needs - good heating, plenty crockery and everything was clean. The house is fairly run down. We didn't use the third bedroom near the laundry as it was a little dusty, probably due to the draft coming in from the back door. Overall, we enjoyed our time here!

Wychesbrook Cottage Bright Victoria

Perfectly suited our needs. Our 2 pups had an enclosed yard with room to runaround. The Cottage was just like being at home with all we could have asked for. Clean, warm, comfortable and inviting. Not over the top price wise and close to the town centre we enjoyed our stay so much we increased the stay by an extra night. Dealing with the Agent was easy and stress free. Would absolutely recommend.
