Review:
Nightingale Bros is much more than a roadside fruit shop. The combination of a playground, lawn games, spacious grassy area and beautiful orchard setting makes it a worthwhile stop for families exploring Bright and Wandiligong.
The tractor play structure and two-storey cubby house are particularly appealing for younger children, while the grassy area provides plenty of room to play.
The store is also well worth exploring, especially for its impressive selection of apples, homemade pies, fresh juices and other local products.
It is a particularly good place to stop for a coffee and a snack while enjoying the peaceful Wandiligong Valley scenery.
With no advertised entry fee, a family-friendly outdoor area and plenty of delicious local produce, Nightingale Bros is an enjoyable addition to a day out in the High Country.
