Guest Reviews
- Mila (6/5): Pleasant, good location - Location was good, lots of blanket in the cupboard No milk provided for tea and coffee, the room was cold even with the wall heater on
- Sandra (10/5): - I booked the smallest size accommodation as I was only staying for one night. It was adequately stocked with kitchen utensils, toiletries, and very clean. The price can be perceived too high, but in saying so, the location is amazing. It's within walking distance to food and drinks, and beautiful small creek and the overall scenery was amazing.
- Benjamin (9/5): - Very clean and central location!
- Marioara (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): -
- Callum (10/5): -
- Sarna (7/5): Excellent location and good for value of money - Spider webs n spiders

- Paul (7/5): Very well positioned, comfortable, roomy, excellent price. -
- Praveen (9/5): -
- Zahra (1/5): . Overall, the place was poorly cleaned, lacked basic amenities, and definitely wasn’t worth the money. - Location I was really disappointed with this stay. The carpet was extremely dirty — after just a few minutes of walking on it with white socks, they turned black, which shows it hasn’t been properly cleaned in a long time. The furniture also felt old and not well-maintained.
The place also had an unpleasant smell when I arrived, and I had to leave the door open for hours to air it out.
On top of that, the kitchen had almost no facilities or basic items. There was barely anything provided — not even enough tea bags, just one for the two of us.
Overall, it wasn’t worth the money, and the listing didn’t meet the standard I expected . I hope the host improves the cleanliness, amenities, and general upkeep for future guests.

- Margaret (7/5): Good -
- Vickie (8/5): Cosy. - Location was very good, no breakfast. It was hard to locate the unit numbers as we arrived in the dark.
- Sumit (10/5): great comfy stay with lots of room to enjoy, they have a great facility for families - location was great location and amenities pillow
- Wendy (7/5): Safe, convenient and quiet. - The position, close to town, very quiet street, off street parking. Spacious and sunny. Mostly clean with lots of blankets. It would benefit with an upgrade of decor and lighting. The numbers of the units were hidden so hard to find the correct unit. Would be better if the numbers were on the door.
The outside chair at door was dirty, as was the shower curtain. Lighting was dull.
- Paul (6/5): We enjoyed our stay in Elm Lodge. it was simple and clean and the location was great. - the quilt was uncomfortable. It ws very heavy and kept sliding off due to the slippery material as the quilt cover.
- Jack (10/5): Fantastic stay highly recommended - Facilities
Bed
- Maureen (7/5): Hospitality was good. Felt safe and close to everything. - location very helpful for people coming by bus and dragging suitcases.
Able to have separate rooms was nice. Single bed I chose tipped me out. Think the other one would have done the same.
Had to turn shower taps off hard to prevent dripping. Didn't realise that the shower would be in a large spa bath. Difficult for older folk to get in and out of safely. Probably a grab bar nearby would help.
- Nish (8/5): Very good -
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kevin (8/5): Very good -
- Heather (7/5): Good -
- Victor (2/5): Very poor - No Breakfast Accomodation was not what we expected
- Joan (3/5): Poor, the flat was filthy - It’s location It smelt like damp, it was dirty and unclean, the dishes where unclean there where no towels provided, there was mouldy milk in the fridge
- James (9/5): Fantastic we all loved it will be back. - Great value for the money.
Back yard BBQ and table setting was fantastic.
Great size BBQ able to cook it all in one go. Just one thing a lock on toilet door.
- Peter (6/5): Thankfully short. - Proximity to town Over priced for what it offers. We were expected to take out the rubbish and the heating was not working when we arrived. All contact was via phone with no staff on site.
- Tracy (6/5): Tired place. Good location - It was in a good location . Electric blanket most welcomed. Was clean. Comfortable couches. The place had a smell like strong food and old stale air. It didn't leave the whole time we stayed. It was also very cold inside, more than outside, which meant you had to leave heating on. The windows would not stay open so very hard to air out the place and get any warmth in.
- Matt (9/5): Superb -
- Ramandeep (5/5): Location was lovely - Location Cleaniness
- Kristina (10/5): Great little unit in a great location - Very comfortable, great air conditioning, excellent location, perfect size for our family of 4! Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again No WiFi the reception wasn't great in the house
- Ruth (7/5): This was perfect for our group of 3. It’s location is fantastic. It was quiet and we loved the creek. - Location, the creek that ran right out the front and ease of access. Not a lot of sunlight so quite dark. The automatic door slam was very loud.
- Hafeez (9/5): We will come again. -
- Laurie (8/5): Convenient. Nice place -
- Ted (5/5): would look elsewhere - great area very bad musty smell
- Joanne (8/5): Very good -
- Jayme (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eldho (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (6/5): It was location we were after - and that, it did provide! - The location was the selling point for us as well as the bedding configuration for what we needed. I liked how when I contacted staff to supply the missing bath mats/hand towels - they did. There was enough crockery and cookware for us all. It was well heated and cosy - and it did provide all the basics, thx Little things like the shower curtain - creepy. Rusty water from bath tap - shower taps were ok. Musty smell on arrival - needed to air out. To be honest - I dont think the photos really indicated at how old the lodge was.
- Irnee (7/5): Good -
- Helen (6/5): Bright was especially lovely with the Autumn leaves. - Convenient location. After the long haul from Canberra there was no milk provided to make a cup of tea and l had to leave right away to get some, luckily there is a supermarket within walking distance.
The fan in the reverse cycle was noisy, as was the fan in the bathroom which was extremely noisy.
- Carolynne (7/5): older style accommodation but very comfortable bed, well heated, perfect position, and had everything you needed. - the location is excellent, perfect walking distance to everything. the shower was just literally a trickle.
- Panawan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Liz (7/5): cute cottage but shower greatly detracted from attractiveness of property - very cute historic cottage
great location
quite spacious
good parking
thoughtful touches like nightlight in bathroom the shower was very small and water pressure was terrible. it is one of the worst showers I have experienced in holiday accomodation in Australia
- Jiali (1/5): Bad -
- Jane (4/5): Location was fantastic, love Bright but we would not stay or recommend Elm Lodge - Location was fantastic and the accommodation and surrounding area was lovely and rustic with a small creek just 20m away. Front of our unit was covered in cobwebs, front door security lock was so filthy that you could almost guess the unlock code from the dirty finger marks, main bedroom had really badly torn curtains, bathroom door handle was falling off, microwave oven had burn marks on the inside and to top it off there was tea & sugar sachets but no coffee sachets, along with only 1 long life milk 😫
- Paul (3/5): i would not like to stay anymore than one night - the room smelt very old and little ventilation, moths in the bed linen. the pictures on the site were a little miss leading location
- Brown (7/5): Good -
- Amanda (6/5): Pleasant -
- Langeluddecke (8/5): Very good -
- Victoria (8/5): We really enjoyed our stay - Super cute little apartment, perfect for us. And close to town My kids wanted a pool- but other then that it was a perfect spot
- David (8/5): Comfortable, helpful staff, great position - We wanted flywire screen on the bedroom window and they arranged it that day. Very thankful as I am allergic to mosquitos Old unit, small kitchen, very small table
- Glenn (8/5): Not a "luxe" option but that's why we loved it. Modest, comfortable and clean. Will certainly return - We loved the historic nature of the cottage which is located on a quiet street and a short walk to town. No soap in the bathroom.
- Dave (9/5): Superb -
- Christine (5/5): Passable -
- Tillakaratne (5/5): Passable -
- Emily (8/5): Very good -
- shane (8/5): - Great option for people exploring Bright - walk to shops/cafes, good parking, nice and quiet street. Great outdoors area if the weather is good with table/chairs/bbq. Rated as a 3 star but I would say at the top end of 3 stars.
- Kellie-Ann (4/5): - Property had spiders, cobwebs, doors falling off, mould in bathroom, smelt stale, tv didn’t work, no milk for tea or coffee provided. Had better experience in hostels
- Verified traveler (8/5): - In a quiet location even though it was close to town centre. Basic and clean.
- GI (8/5): - Pro: old cottage charm, near with essential shops, homie, best location.
Cons: Interior need update desperately , backyard need to update and clean specially BBQ area. This place has so much potential.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My children and I liked all aspects of this accommodation. It was spacious, had all the facilities we could need and was in a fantastic location. Would definitely stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A little dated but a great place. Would stay again
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Old but comfortable. Close to center of town. Very well priced. Would stay there again.
Needed a good spring clean though.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We loved the rustic charm. Only issue was the light outside the main bedroom - there was no way to turn it off at night.
- Fiona (10/5): Walking distance to shops and river - The place had everything that we required and the setting beside a running creek was delightful
- Melissa (4/5): Needs repairs - The bathroom sink was blocked and took ages to drain. The rustic kitchen really needs updating. The equipment left in the kitchen is of very poor standard. For the price charged I would assume that a bowl that fits more than one wheatbix would be supplied. The headboard above the master bed is placed in position that you constantly hit your head. The second bedroom window was kept open with a piece of wood. Upon removing it to close the window it became suddenly apparent that the window sash was broken as the window then slammed suddenly shut on my fingers. Luckily they were not broken, just very bruised and swollen for several days. This window fault could amputate a childs fingers and need urgent repair.
- chuck (10/5): Great hotel! Very private and great location! - Loved it over all!!! Would stay there again. Didn't give full stars because we only had one electric fry pan. We found this hard to plan our meals to cook! But was a great place still!
- adriana (8/5): Cozy lodge walking distance into town - The lodge was a nice cozy place to stay. Close walking distance to town centre, other than the shower to small everything else was perfect
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Easy, comfortable and central.....great for the family
- wendy (10/5): -
would stay again
