Great place to stay

Talk about close to town! Stayed here for a short bike riding trip at Mount Mystic and had a great time. Plenty of firewood for the weekend and an overall nice bright (no pun intended) place to say. Thanks for having us.

Short Weekend Getaway

We stayed here for our short weekend getaway in Beautiful Bright. The location was perfect, a stones throw away from the centre of town. The home had everything one needs in a home with a wonderful warm and cozy feel. Will definitely stay again!

Home away from Home

Loved every minute of our mini holiday away from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. The garden was calming and together with the CD player and classical music CDs, time drifted by. Great location, super comfy bed. Our kelpie, Stardust was very settled too. Thank you for sharing your property with us.
