The property was everything as advertised, beautiful and very clean inside. Outside along the verandah and windows were lots of spiders and webs which I cleaned away but the property and surrounding properties were beautiful. Highly recommend this property to everyone.

Great property for group

We were a group of 10 adults and found the property very clean, with everything we required. The property has good outdoor areas and plenty of car parking space. It’s located in a quiet street. We liked how we had use of the double garage to store our motorbikes. It is also a short walk to the town which was good for us as we were on bikes. Will book again when l go to Bright.

Good accomodation for large Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was a great size for our large family, and very clean. One reason we chose this home was because of the fireplace and wood heater. We very carefully lit the fire in the fireplace, and before long the house began to fill with smoke. We needed to open the doors and windows to be able to safely sleep at night. The house was listed with a BBQ but this was not operational, and some money was refunded because of this fact when I asked for compensation.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed at this home 5 weeks ago and was disappointed that my concerns advised at that time had not been fully addressed.The garden was still in a very poor state, wifi was still not available abt the split system still not working. In saying that the home was very clean and comfortable.Work also needs to be done on the steps leading up to the house they are very uneven and one of my party had a fall, luckily no serious injuries.

Reviewer Comments: Good things: location and size of house.Bad things: cook top very old, bordering on unusable. We chose not to cook with it as it was in such bad condition. Many spider webs throughout house. Open fire place had soot throughout and made the house smell. Not many garbage bags, washing things (had to buy both). Outside furniture in tired condition.

Easter 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We have been coming to Bright at Easter for over 30 years, our families love spending Easter in Bright. Unfortunately, this years accommodation at Swallows Rest wasn’t the experience we usually encounter. Firstly, the BBQ wasn’t available (broken), then we soon found out the microwave also wasn’t useable. Next the cook top (gas) had only 1 hob functioning and the oven door had a broken hinge. Not sure how we were expected to feed our families! Dickens were wonderful with assisting us with a new microwave and a portable hot plate. This property certainly requires updates and replacement of essential cooking appliances.

Bright Surprise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean, tidy and had large lovely bedrooms. Unfortunately our stay was slightly compromised by a leaking out door BBQ which had to be decommissioned by a plumber. The stove top in the kitchen was also faulty and needs replacing. The micro wave stopped working and the out door table needs replacing. The Estate Agent looking after the property were fantastic and caring to deal with. We were able to negotiate a discount on our stay as a result.I would only recommend this property to others if the items listed were replaced.The lesson: Always ask if everything is in good working order before committing.Bright was also very busy at the start of the school holidays and it was hard to book anywhere to eat so be prepared to take your chance on what ever is available.
