Scenic location, whether it's in the mountains and surrounded by nature. The holiday home is designed for comfort and relaxation—spacious rooms, a fully equipped kitchen.Please cut the grass near the creek.

We had an awesome time staying at this property over our snow trip weekend, very warm, cozy and well maintained house with a beautiful scenery surrounding. Will definitely stay again!
Very good 👍 the only
Problem was no wifi and no reception on the property only one friend had reception coverage with optus. Good thing enjoying nature
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.

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.

House is lovely and in a beautiful setting. However bbq filthy which we spent considerable time cleaning, no where to stand bottles in fridge, front room tv doesn’t work, bottom bunk bed lumpy and extremely uncomfortable.Bbq gas bottle not full, had to replace batteries in tv remote, kitchen stovetop needs instructions (couldn’t we code as there is no service). Windows with cobwebs.Beautiful house but money needs to be spent To bring it up to scratch. Was disappointing as last time we stayed there iit was better

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.

We have stayed here several times and it is always delightful. The creek at the bottom of the yard is great, especially for the grandchildren. Peaceful place
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 came for a ski week, with 8 of us. The house was incredible.We definitely want to rebook for next year.Special shout out to the rental team who bailed us out on a Friday night when one us locked the house keys inside.
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.

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

We had a lovely stay at Growler's Creek Lodge. It was so quiet and peaceful. The kids enjoyed seeing the Kangaroo's on the lawn in the mornings. Bright Holidays were great, and even had the heating and front light on for our late arrival. Very much appreciated! Thank you for a great weekend.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Growlers Creek. We enjoyed the sounds of the creek, frogs, bird life. Did some local walks and bike riding. The house was clean, warm & comfortable. There was no phone reception or Wifi, so enjoyed some screen free time.. There was a DVD player but no DVDs. Booking agent was easy to communicate with. Very happy with the house & location.

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.

My vacation rental experience was excellent! The property was beautiful and much larger than we expected. 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!
