    Suzanne A recommends this vacation rental

    I can’t praise this house enough! Its location in a court, made for a peaceful quiet stay. The house is large, boosting 2 indoor areas for relaxing, an office-games area and a lovely undercover area with BBQ, overlooking the pool. The kitchen and butler kitchen provided plenty of storage options and bench space. The cupboards were filled with numerous electrical appliances to help with all catering needs. The ensuite and bathroom were roomy and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. The ducted heating made the whole house cosy. There was 4 couples in our party, each and everyone was impressed with this home. The whole place and appliances were spotlessly clean. We’ll go there again. We highly recommend this the Tewksbury retreat. We also had a great experience with Bright Holidays. Su

    John H from Mulgrave, VIC recommends this vacation rental

    The house was very well equipped. Except for the pillows, way too hard and high. Had to go buy some. Also we couldn't find the controls for the spa or the fan in the living room. Didn't like driving to Bright for the key. Suggest a drop box with a code at the premises would be more convenient.

    • Manager Responded on 3/6/2024

      Hi John, thank you for your feedback. The property description clearly states *please note the spa is not functional* and the lock box is located at the office to monitor check-outs. We appreciate that you found the house well equipped and hope to see you next time you visit Bright. Best regards, Bright Holidays.

    Modern clean home with all conveniences required. Would have been handy to know how the spa in the pool worked and if the key was on the property instead of having to drive into Bright to pick up and drop off.

    Danielle G from Ferntree Gully, Vic recommends this vacation rental

    From the booking enquiry, right through to check out the agent's service was great; friendly and informative. The House itself is brilliant. the pool gets sun majority of the day and they layout of the house is perfect for families with and without kids and also yard friendly for pets (so long as the front gate is closed). Good for group time together as well as being big enough to have private retreat areas. All the facilities were in working order, everything was clean and there was ample car parking. Beautiful street, friendly neighbours and beautiful surrounding views. It was good to be away from the busy hustle in town and have the benefit of a short 6minute drive into Bright town.
    We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

    It’s a home away from home everything is there so all we need was food. It’s not far from town for dining out. House is in immaculate condition with quality linen. Rooms are spread out so everyone has his/her own space & enough televisions for different viewing. We had a lovely time there & would like to come again.
    Just a little note about the Nespresso - the milk frother is not heating up it only spins.

    Marcin C from Vic, Bundoora recommends this vacation rental

    Not once as we travel to our holiday accommodation we ponder, is it going to be as per description, as per pics. In this case it was.
    This is a modern home with all the creature comforts, we stayed 3 nights with 2 other couples.
    As it was during May, the weather was rather fresh and not suitable for taking advantage of the swimming pool or spa. We plan to come back during warmer months to test it out ;)
    Open space living with modern kitchen, large double garage and it was CLEAN!
    Things to consider. The front master b.room has its own bathroom/toilet, however the remaining three rooms would need to share. It was manageable for 2 couples, but would be a bit of a challenge if we had more people.
    Fire place was fantastic, but only discovered that to get air you needed to turn a know on a wall that we thought was for the ceiling fan.
    Anyway overall really nice place and we plan to be back in the future.
