This is the second time we have stayed at Brightwater and once again Brightwater did not disappoint. Brightwater welcomes you with a very homely feeling and then hypnotises you with the endless and amazing view of Lake Hawea and surround mountains. Brightwater is very well equipped and has everything you need for your stay, so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday to the fullest. Brightwater is definitely our number one choice for a holiday stay when we are in the area.

Loved our stay at Brightwater. Cosy and warm for a winter holiday. The cottage has everything you need to be comfortable and to relax. Close to the lake and walks. We look forward to going back.
