Testimonials

From the moment we set foot inside we realised the Million Dollar Mountain Views was an understatement. This place is truly priceless. An amazing place that provided us with all the essentials to relax, unwind, appreciate wildlife and nature. Just magical!!
Mark & Suzi.

Thank you for providing such a magical place. The balcony is ideal for inspiration, thought and perspective. I came here to getaway; to make the world stop. I achieved much more than a holiday. I feel inspired, energised and ready to start anew. The stars were spectacular, the ambience calming. Your home helps to influence all of natures wonder into whoever visits. Thank you.

Our stay was one of the best experiences in a very long time.
Great location, quiet, immaculate and the owners seemed to think of everything.
We have already recommended The Evening Star to many of our friends even though we would rather keep it a secret.
Robert, VICTORIA


Thank you for letting my family stay in your beautiful house. We could not have wished for anything more perfect. The city stress melted from our shoulders as we sat on your decking. We loved the house design; we kept wondering how we could have a holiday house just like it!!! We hope we can come again.
Karen Pinkus

We had a delightful stay in Wandi. Loved the house, the views, and the stars. Looking forward to our next stay.
Gabrielle and Alistair, Vic

From opening the front door of The Evening Star I felt instantly at home. The place manages to provide first class, contemporary accommodation with a cosy, welcoming feel. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan to return some time soon.
Bernadette, VIC

Great house, best equipped self-contained accomodation we have encountered. Thanks for having us.
Bernadette & Nicholas

The house design is fab, with all our needs catered for. Loved the espresso machine & deck! It's the perfect place for stressed people to relax. Thanks for thinking of everything.

5 Things that you MUST do while staying here:

1. Visit Mount Buffalo national park. It is a half hour drive, and visually spectacular. You must do a walk, and see what the world looks like from this amazing rock formation. Take a swim in the pure granite swimming holes or hire a canoe on lake Catani.

2. Have a coffee or lunch at the Wandi Maze. It is a 5 minute walk from the house through the historic diggings. Try a piece of the enormous delicious passionfruit sponge cake!

3. At night under a clear starry sky, you simply must stargaze from the deck of The Evening Star. The deck has been designed so that you are immersed beneath a truly spectacular night sky.

4.. Go for a day trip to up to Mount Hotham and Dinner Plain. On the way up to Mount Hotham you could stop off and walk across the Razorback to Mount Feathertop. The views and sense of space from up there are truly mind blowing. However if you just feel like hanging around Wandi and chilling on the deck of The Evening Star- there's no better place to be!

There is so much to do and see you'll need a whole week!

    Stunning home with beautiful views! Trails, parks and Bright’s town centre are easily accessible by bike or car, yet the property feels wonderfully secluded. Perfect for immersing yourself in the tranquility of the area.

    The house is stunning, filled with light and connection with the small birds flitting in the trees. The spa bath with open but private aspect to the trees was a joy as was the internal space. A more than fully equipped kitchen was enhanced by generous supplies. Washing machine and dryer added to the convenience. Good walking directly from the property both around the village and in the trails behind the property

    We had an idyllic long weekend, which coincided with the Bright Autumn Festival. Located just out of Bright, it provides privacy and valley views. The property is in a beautiful setting, very clean, light, spacious, and makes the most of the natural outlook. We loved the open fire, large deck, spa bath, and a kitchen that had everything we needed and more. Fabulous walking tracks/cycling tracks into Bright on the doorstep. Highly recommended!

    We stayed for 4 nights and it was the most enjoyable accommodation experience we've had in years. The property is incredibly spacious which was so lovely as we live in a compact house in Melbourne. The spa bath was brilliant and the surroundings were quiet and beautiful. Our 4 days were very hot so we didn't fully use the deck space but in slightly cooler weather it would have been lovely. The house was well air conditioned and had everything that we needed. We had a brilliant birthday lunch for my husband at 5 Acres - which was a short walk from the property. We plan to come back!

    The evening star was above and beyond our expectations, such a beautifully designed and executed property. From the layout to the decor everything was top tier. The scenery was stunning and only amplified by getting to enjoy it on the deck in the winter sun. Everything has been thought of and the added extras (breakfast and a bottle of wine) were a welcome bonus. Couldn’t recommend this property more highly. We are already looking forward to going back

    The Evening Star is an amazingly presented and spacious home away from home, fitted out with everything you'll need including a large country breakfast for your first morning. We found the kitchen to be very well appointed with everything we needed to cook our family meals throughout our stay. Plenty of staples were provided including spices, oils and the like, even some lovely choc chip cookies to have with the vast selection of teas and coffee. The open fire was a nice touch, which our teenage daughter requested be lit a number of times to add to the Practical Magic feel of the place. Then there's the spa, spacious bathrooms and telescope which gave an amazing vision of the moon for the family, to top things off! Gail the property manager made sure everything was to our liking and the heating was turned on for our late arrival. The owners even checked in to make sure we were happy with everything. We are very much looking forward to our next stay at the Evening Star, thanks all for looking after our family :)
