Lovely place to stay with extended family while visiting the snow. Property had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed making wood fires, playing table tennis and going for long walks along the nearby creek with our dog.

Our stay in Wandiligong

Our stay in the Chinese Whispers house at Wandiligong was very good. It is set in a beautiful garden and the house is very comfortable and well provisioned. We could easily decide to come again for another out of town holiday.

Nice spot in Wandi

Nice spot in Wandi, with a great front deck area overlooking the outdoor fire pit. Separate shed/games room includes workshop and some bike tools which came in handy on our Mountain Biking weekend away. About a 5min drive into the town of bright but very quiet and peaceful.

So Special

We absolutely loved our holiday at Chinese Whispers. The property is truly set in a piece of paradise! The house is well set up and the beds/linen are sooooo comfy. The nights around the fire pit were awesome. Bright Escapes were fabulous to deal with and special thanks to the wonderful owners for their response to our misadventures. We cannot wait to visit again!

A gorgeous Alpine cottage with divine views

We have enjoyed a brilliant week at Wandi staying in this very comfortable and thoughtfully appointed cottage. The views from the deck are divine and the ease of access to walks, cycling routes and beautiful Bright made for a fabulous family stay. Our Labrador loved exploring the nearby streams flowing through the Diggings. The kitchen is well stocked with all we needed to cook and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Truly was a wonderful escape

Stayed here in Wandiligong for the Autumn festival in Bright. Although Bright was our main focus we came to love Wandiligong with lovely walks and just a beautiful place to wind down, relax and reconnect with nature. This home was wonderful to stay at, with great amenities and a lovely warm welcome. Everything to make a toasty fire in the coonara and everything needed to just come in and make yourself at home. We also enjoyed the games room. Close to Bright and also Mt Hotham, minutes away from the shop precinct.

Great location

Well set out residence, the only let down was the cleanliness of the residence,mold in the fridge bottom draws, bottom of the kitchen rubbish bins had grim in them, ants in the lounge chairs due to the crums that were under the cushions.

Comfortable and Relaxed

Beautiful setting, house and yard with more than enough of everything we needed to be comfortable and relaxed, a short walk from the creek and the pub and a short drive from Bright and the snow...
