    A beautiful house with all the essentials to make the stay comfortable and very pleasant including a kitchen with lots of utensils and pans for self catering, dishwashing powder in the laundry and welcome treats for us. The house is super clean and well presented. Catherine was excellent with her communication and recommendations of places to eat. A superb location close to parks and a track along the Ovens River into the main street. Quiet and beautiful. Highly recommend for a family group.

    Excellent location to the town of Bright, all the conveniences you need on a holiday. Clean, nice property to stay in and the puppy loved being near the park. We will be back next year!

    From the time of making our reservation, the process has been smooth, including a phone call from Catherine, the owner within a day of the reservation being confirmed and, follow-up emails with helpful details (even bringing along slippers!). The well-kept house is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, a few meters from the dog-park and, a 15-min stroll along the river to the town, or 10 minutes' walk along the road. A really lovely surprise was the house being heated for our arrival, along with the complementary treats and tote bag! The appliances are of reputable makes and worked very well and, what comfy beds!

    Tessies house and studio were perfect for us and our adult children. Perfect living/lounge/kitchen area with lots of cookware for preparing large meals. Crisp sheets and quality linen. Great location - 10 minute stroll to the Bright Brewery. Plenty of room for parking multiple cars. Highly recommended!
