Friends getaway
Bright itself, property and host all great! Touch harsh on the noise restriction for 8 adults to have a 10pm curfew for noise and music though. Our only gripe that soured our stay, was that the neighbour at 11.20pm on a Friday night threatened to call the Police because we were laughing and having fun. Could have been a touch nicer about it, seeing we were very compliant. We will take better note of noise restrictions next time we choose.

Highly Recommended
We spent a wonderful three nights at Willie Wagtails in April. It is a beautiful residence - clean, spacious, warm and modern. The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were very comfortable. There were separate spaces for adults and children, and a great treehouse for outside adventures. The location was walkable into Bright, but far enough away to still appreciate the clear night sky. We had a great stay and would highly recommend the accommodation as a base for adventures in the wider area.

Great house, great host.
Stayed for 3 nights in mid-April 24 for my birthday. Great house and a very friendly host. My emails weren't working so I wasn't getting anything come through, I'm not sure if that's a Stays thing but all in all was happy with the whole process and property. For the price I think there should be unlimited firewood, which there isn't and it was too hard for us to source it in an affordable way. Maybe this could be an option with a caged and locked area. Overall its well worth it. thanks

Willy Wagtails
I stayed at Willy Wagtails with my family for my 40th birthday and had the best experience imaginable. The property is located just minutes from the town, and we walked there every day because it was so close. The property comes with everything listed in the advertisement and was true to its description. It was also much more beautiful and breathtaking in person that it’s online photos. The bedrooms were all comfortable and my guests were very happy. The master bedroom was exceptional with walk in robe that leads into the ensuite. The property is located in a quiet street, where I was able to enjoy my morning coffee whilst listening to the beautiful birds and wildlife from the love seat located on the the wrap around decking every morning. Linda is the most thoughtful and gracious host, who went above and beyond for us.

She provided us with all the information we needed and recommended excellent restaurants and places to go.

Thank you Linda for making my 40th birthday getaway a memorable and great experience. I highly recommend Linda and Willy Wagtails for a wonderful experience.
