It was lovely accommodation. The perfect setting for a romantic getaway, very private with a cosy log fire. An easy walk to explore the beautiful town of Bright & surrounds. Cooking facilities were a little modest but on request we were promptly supplied with a portable gas stove and pan. Fresh ground coffee & cafetière was a nice touch. We would definitely recommend & stay here again!

Amazing property among the bush - quiet enough to feel secluded yet close to everything in Bright. Wildlife make this property special - so many 'roos, kookaburra's and maggies. Magical stay.

So glad you had a great stay with us. Bright is definitely a magical place!The driveway is actually a sealed road but with the continual rain we've had for the last 6 months its definitely starting to look like its not sealed in places. Just waiting for a string of sunny days to dry the ground out so we can patch some of the spots. Glad you were able to make your away the property :)

Our studio did not match photos on web site. It was a far cry from the illustration here. Cleaning not great. Hole is washing dish. I accidentally went into studio 2, wish that was ours but steps up hill badly needed handrails for a senior visitor. Road needs a one-way sign. Lots to improve Odd Frog. Despite criticism, We did enjoy our stay here, the location was lovely.

Response from Jacqx on 12 May 2022
Hi Helen .. not sure which studio you had that the photos didn't match? Can you please let me know so I can fix that issue. The road can be used both ways and it is more convenient for the people staying in studios 5, 1 & 4 to go the opposite direction, hence the reason that we don't have a 1-way sign. Glad you ultimately did enjoy your stay with us.

Very friendly magpies. Place was clean and everything there for a weekend away. The cabin isn’t big but fine for two. Flashing beacon on the building a bit annoying when trying to get to sleep

Hi David .. glad you had a great weekend away. The flashing light is supposed to be a deterrent for various native critters but wasn't aware that it affected the studio as it's on the end with no windows. Sorry about that

I was a solo traveller for the Alpine Classic bike ride - the Odd Frog was ideally located for an early (4am start) as well as to the town centre. I loved the design of the accommodation units and imaginative use of materials, they integrate beautifully with and are sympathetic to the surrounding natural environment. The building materials used are lovely inside and out, it was stinking hot during my stay and yet I hardly needed to use the air-conditioning (natural ventilation was great). My trip was touch and go given the border closures, and I really appreciated the Odd Frog's flexibility for a potential change of dates. I found value for money outstanding - I have stayed in far shabbier places in this region for a lot more $. The facility is very clean and well maintained. The driveway is steep given the location/design. My only suggestion for improvement is provision of a separate sink for the kitchenette, as there is a single basin for both kitchen purposes and the bathroom. There is no internet access but I didn't really miss it. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Wow .. what a wonderful review ... we are so glad you enjoyed your stay .. it was a pleasure to be able to host you given the endless stream of border closures, travel restrictions etc that we've been subjected to over the last 12 months!! We look forward to seeing you again, perhaps for the next Alpine Classic :)
