Guest Reviews

• Warren (10/5): It was everything we had planned and more for an enjoyable few days in Bright and surrounds. - We stayed in Riverside cottage. Close to town but felt like a private escape on the ovens river. Loved the fireplace comfy bed and facilities, beautiful gardens and autumn colours. The Canyon walk is directly accessible and an easy walk to town along the river. Nothing
• MARK (10/5): Near perfect stay in Magical Bright. Management great and easy to deal with. - Location perfect! 15 min vey enjoyable walk to Bright restraunts. Very cosey clean and inviting cottage with plent of room and a fireplace was perfect for winter stay Could use a small reno.? Looking a bit dated but I kind of like the older 80's 90's style. It fits the environment and feel.
• Asger (8/5): -
• Livingstone (10/5): An idillic holiday retreat - The location was wonderful, we were surrounded by trees, shrubs & flowers, close to the river and walking tacks. Nothing really
• Barry (10/5): Very comfortable and relaxing - great location. - N/A
• Susan (8/5): Autumn leaves falling - so beautiful in Bright - We loved the location near the river and walking tracks and a short walk into cafe’s etc. it was nice having a wood heater for staying in on cold evenings.
• Janice (8/5): We enjoyed our stay very much and was in awe of the beautiful trees. - We loved the trees and the general area. The cottage was good, everything worked and the fireplace was lovely and heated the cottage very quickly. The sofa was not comfortable and the car was parked too far away especially for oldies like us . My husband is not very steady on his feet and the paths were quite slippery and therefore hazardous for him to walk or carry our luggage to the cottage.
• john (7/5): -
• Sandra (8/5): Very pleasant but the path from car to cottage is unsafe in the dark. - It has all the necessary facilities to be very comfortable. We had an attractive cottage in a lovely garden. As a bonus there were no mean spirited notices telling us what not to do (as if that affects the people who vandalise.) The walk through the garden to the car was dangerous at night. There is little light and there are lots of garden beds edged with stones that stick out at angles and can’t be seen by the light of a phone torch. My husband fell heavily and hurt for days. Removing the stones except for those along the drive would be safer and not spoil the pretty garden.
• Elle3003 (9/5): - Locality, Alistair was very helpful. Perfect location beside the river and the gardens are beautiful. Just a little noisy between the cottages.
• Wayne (10/5): - The location
• Giridhar (8/5): Amazing stay in very decent, well-located accommodation. Alistair host was very friendly, courteous - Location, host, amenities. Bathroom and Bedroom were perfect size Living space is too small.
• Yvonne (10/5): Accommodation - Perfect. Host Kellie and Alistair - Perfect. Proximity to Bright shops, restaurants etc - Perfect - Such a precious gem of a Cottage hidden in amongst the bushes, trees and beautiful flowers. A 5 minute walk along the calming river to Bright. Everything you needed was there, spotlessly clean and comfy and a spa and wood fire to top it off. It was perfect.
• david (10/5): perfect, will stay again next year - perfect
• Lucinda (10/5): -
• Dean (9/5): A great place to stay, great location, great facilities and great hosts! Thanks - Location was very close walking distance to town, hosts were great, friendly and helpful. Onsite parking was secure. Overall, everything made for a very good experience If I was to be extremely picky, personally I am not a fan of a doona being sandwiched between 2 sheets. This wasn't a game changer though.

If you go through the backyard, it leads you to the canyon walk. We loved the fireplace too, it heats up the room very quickly. The host is so thoughtful to offer electric blankets in each bedroom. The place is super clean.

• Megan (10/5): Cycling Bright & Surrounding Hills. - Absolutely beautiful. I stayed in the cottage closest to the river which felt tranquil and private. So very picturesque in every way. My cottage was right on the river and river path to town. Easy and beautiful walk into town centre within ten minutes. I’d definitely stay again as so calm, private and inviting. Nothing not to like. Mosquitos were rife and I guess being near the river worse. Some mosquito coils would have been good to have had. I did use RID but still the little feckers got me. It’s such a beautiful outdoor patio.
• Kevin (8/5): - Friendly staff, clean and comfortable accomodation. The property is really nicely situated… a short easy walk by the river into the town and lovely surroundings.
• Alex Mitchell (10/5): A very comfortable cottage set in lush gardens - The cottage was exceptionally clean and comfortable and the hosts very communicative and nice to deal with. The property is beautifully set in lush gardens and very peaceful. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area with all the amenties (shops, restaurants etc) very close on Bright High Street. A very short drive or a 10 minute walk. The town is very pleasant. There was nothing I didn't like about the property. It is finished to a very high standard and everything worked perfectly. There was also a very handy Laundry Room at the property where I could use the iron & ironing board (I was attending a local wedding).
• Caroline (9/5): Quaint property in quiet location within easy walking distance to town. - It is a lovely cottage in a great location. Very comfy and in nice garden setting. The bed was comfy. I think a small gate is required at the top of the stairs- this cottage is not suitable if you had toddlers.
• Emilie (8/5): cosy accommodation, great location walking distance to the town centre along scenic path. - We messaged our hosts our anticipated arrival time and we were greeted by our hosts, then shown around the accommodation and garden.
• Glenda (10/5): - Location and comfort of the property.
• Carolyn (10/5): Truly relaxing. Great location. Had everything we needed. Thank you so much. - We liked everything. Received text. Greeted at property and got a little tour, was great. Thanks. Liked everything. Can’t fault property at all or hosts.

Chips missing from the slate floor and having to step into the bath to reach th shower but nothing that would stop us rebooking this place again
• Penny (10/5): Bright is one of the most beautiful Australian towns to visit, Merrimeet makes it perfect. - Woodsmoke cottage is a perfect, cosy retreat for two. The presence of a combustion heater gives a warm and welcoming ambience, and the spa bath is a relaxing addition. Having a safe place to store bikes is also a bonus, as is the beautiful garden scenery and native birds. Thankyou for a memorable stay. No complaints, all was perfect.

It has all the amenities you could possibly need, so you don’t have to carry a single thing from home — everything is already there for your comfort and convenience. The place was spotless, with beautifully maintained rooms and a well-equipped kitchen that made our stay even more enjoyable. The parking space was excellent, making it easy and hassle-free to settle in. One of the highlights was the amazing backyard, complete with a BBQ area — perfect for relaxing evenings and enjoying delicious meals with friends. The peaceful surroundings, cozy interiors, and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like the ideal home away from home. We had an unforgettable time here with friends, filled with laughter, good food, and great memories. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Without a doubt, I’ll be booking it again for my future trips! 😍😍😍
