A Superb Bright Getaway!
The Willy Wagtails property was everything we expected, it was just perfect for our group! The property is really well maintained with a well-equiped kitchen and large living areas with balconies wrapping around the house to enjoy the sunshine, summer breeze and views. It was soooo relaxing being surrounded by the lush bushland and wildlife, and all only a short walk to the river and many restaurants, bars, and shops that Bright has to offer.I'd recommend this luxury property to large groups or families wanting a weekend escape, or longer, if you're lucky enough to get away.Steve A
