  a guest from endeavour hills, vic recommends this vacation rental

  Lovely cottage style house.
  Did worried us that there was no wifi and we had no Telstra internet inside the house with a creek at the back of the place. Not recommended for small children to stay. Optus had reception which was strange. The curtain pullers needed to be attached to the walls due to regulations (again not safe for young kids)
  The neighbours dog was a nice surprise to see at the back door one morning, the kids had a blast with her.
  Was great to see wildlife at the back of the place.

  • Manager Responded on 7/14/2024

    Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. There are a number of areas around the Valley, particularly areas near the rivers that are not central to Bright, that do not have cell service. Risk assessments should be conducted accordingly when visiting these places and children should always be supervised around water. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we do hope to see you again next time you holiday in Bright. Kind regards, Bright Holidays Team

  This a lovely house, with spacious bedrooms, good size bathrooms and a laundry. There is space for people to spread out and wonderful views from the lunge room and master bedroom. There is space for bike to be kept out of the weather and a balcony for outdoor eating. We also enjoyed paddling in the creek at the bottom of the garden.

  My vacation rental experience was excellent! The property was beautiful and much larger than we expected. I stayed in the house with seven other of my college friends and we had a blast. The kitchen was amazing! We cooked many meals together. We watched movies on the TV and the couches were so spacious! The bedroom and bathroom spaces were great, with modern facilities and heaters in each room. The hanging space for clothes was very spacious. I have nothing bad to say about this place!

  We have stayed many times at Growlers Creek Lodge. The house is very comfortable. There is usually a quiet babbling brook the grandchildren can play in, but this time it was a raging torrent, a different but fascinating experience. It is a lovely quiet base to explore the Wandi valley and visit the places my relatives settled in the 1860s

  We had a lovely relaxing stay at Growlers Creek. We enjoyed the sounds of the creek, frogs, bird life. Did some local walks and bike riding. The house was clean, warm & comfortable. There was no phone reception or Wifi, so enjoyed some screen free time.. There was a DVD player but no DVDs.
  Booking agent was easy to communicate with. Very happy with the house & location.

  Teresa H from Qld, KENMORE, BRISBANE recommends this vacation rental

  Beautiful setting away from town but not too far away. Great layout for our family grouping. Clean and spacious. Warm and cosy with the fire going which created a lovely atmosphere.
  Our only comments are in regards to kitchen, cooking and BBQ facilities. The stove was difficult to work out (no instructions); the BBQ wasn't great; the pots,pans,crockery,glasses,utensils etc could all do with a re-vamp and tidy up and present a lot better. However, we loved our holiday and would book again.

  We love Growlers Creek Lodge! such a comfortable well appointed home but its the setting that keeps bringing us back. Completely surrounded by trees and views of the surrounding hills. We had visits from local kangaroos, birds and even caught a yabbie in the creek in the back yard! There is a beautiful expanse of lawn and listening to the sound of the creek is so relaxing. No cars, no noise, perfect for people from the city who want to get away from it all and only 5 minutes drive to Bright.
