This is a lovely house in Wandi. It is on a a quiet stress off the main road with Growler's creek running through the backyard. The creek isn't deep but is great for paddling in hot weather. The view is beautiful. The bedrooms are spacious. For younger kids there were a range of toys and games.

Awesome house on a stunning piece of land with a running creek on the property that can be seen and heard from the gorgeous deck and the lounge room with huge windows. Just beautiful. Wandiligong is the best.

We loved our time in this property and were very grateful for such a comfortable home and garden that could fit our large family, - Although limited hot water made showers for 7 people hard. It was a terrific home base from which we could travel to and from snow fields and enjoy beautiful Wandiliging and Bright

We loved our weekend in this house. It was very spacious and comfortable. Clean and well appointed and a beautiful outlook from the living room out onto a lawn and creek at the end of the bedroom. The only minor critique is there seemed to be very low water pressure, especially hot water, so the spa bath took a very long time to fill. But in the scheme of things wet found this minor and it wouldn't stop us staying again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

This was a magical place to stay. The house was well set up and I particularly liked the fact that the main bedrooms were very separate. My husband and I like to get up early so we had the lovely bedroom with ensuite at the back of the house (with the view of the creek). This enabled us to get up and potter without disturbing our friends. They had the room at the front of the house, and we were able to close off the door so they could be left in peace. The deck off the living area was a lovely sun trap and a great place to enjoy a glass of wine. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space. Location wise, it was quiet, and very peaceful with kangaroos and rabbits to greet you most mornings. It was walking distance to the Wandi pub, and the Diggings Walk and only a five minute drive from Bright. There was information available for walks in the surrounding area which was a great help. The only downside (not for me!!) was there is no wifi, and mobile phone coverage was extremely patchy. If you are looking for that special place to relax and unwind, then this is definitely an option worth investigating.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. 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: It was extremely disappointing to see how much of the property has been allowed to not be kept up to what I would call a reasonable standard.Below is a list of items that either require maintenance, repair or better attention.1. Fridge: Missing shelves in the door. Had to shove everything on the main shelves of the fridge which was not ideal when you have bottles2. Dishwasher: No handle to be able to open the dishwasher. Very difficult to open. Also the cutlery basket of which half is unusable because the base is broken and the cutlery was just falling through3. Floors: Were dirty and we had the vacuum when we arrived4. Toilet: In bathroom from bedroom of the lounge room was dirty when we arrived 5. Shower: In the bathroom from the bedroom of the lounge room leaks. Causing pooling of water on the floor near the wall. Door side6. Front bedroom. Noisy fan when turned on.7. Stove top coffee maker: Found in Pantry. Still had ground coffee in it with mould. Had not been cleaned. We did not use it.8. Cobwebs everywhere9. BBQ: The BBQ does not work very well. I have the same BBQ at home. So I know how to use it. The one on the property does not heat up properly and therefore takes forever to cook anything.10. Sliding door from decking: Very difficult to open and close.11. Couches in Lounge room: Stains on it everywhere. Need a good clean.12. Ceiling fans: All need a good clean. Thick dust on them

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great with a nice kitchen, living area and bathrooms. The issue was with there being no internet- no wifi available- and no network showing up for Telstra and Vodafone inside the house. I think it would be essential for this house to have wifi installed- as we couldn’t even Netflix for the kids to keep them occupied. As there was no signal for our mobile phones - hotspots did not work either. There were so many TVs in the property it’s a pity we couldn’t really make use of any of take calls we had to step out of the house- where 1 5G came up when outside. The other issue was the hot water- it runs out after a two or three of us have our showers and not long showers either. Without the above being fixed I would not recommend this place.
