NESTLED DIRECTLY ON THE BANKS OF THE OVENS RIVER IN BRIGHT VICTORIA
Picture-perfect tree-lined streets, mountains views, trendy eateries and an outdoors culture that’s infectious. The motel offers a cosy restaurant to have breakfast, BBQ facilities and a pool for those summer days. We are also pet friendly!
RELAX IN COMFORT
We love having different bedding in our rooms. One of our current bedding has been designed by Aboriginal sports women and contemporary artist Ashleigh Gardner. This range embodies the relationship the aboriginal community has to the land and her people. The range is called ‘Turtle’ and celebrates the Australian turtle migration which occurs every year.
OUR ROOMS
We have a selection of rooms to choose from for your stay, including eight pet friendly rooms. We offer our Riverview Rooms that overlook the lush gardens and ovens river, the ground floor rooms have direct access while the upper rooms offer a private balcony. Our Family Rooms have two separate rooms for adults and children and include a large fridge/freezer, microwave and a comfortable dining area.
LOTS TO ENJOY LOCALLY
Bright is extremely popular due to it’s accessibility to a vast array of different outdoor facilities. During winter, we are a popular destination to visit the snow with Mt Hotham only 50km from our door, during Spring we have lots of hikers and mountain biking travellers due to our proximity to glorious hiking trails and mountain trails. In Summer Bright has the river where our guests float down on inflatable tubes, visit the many markets and shops Bright has to office and in Autumn with the changing of the leaves.
FACILITIES
Large Shared Garden
We have a large back garden with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy that backs directly onto the Canyon Walk and the Oven River. In the summer months we have fresh plums and figs available for our fruit trees. Our downstairs riverview rooms have two seater tables and chairs on their balcony directly outside their room, the additional tables in the garden are for the enjoyment of everyone. We have provided additional bench seating, picnic tables and umbrellas which are perfect for outdoor dining. We encourage all our guests to use the most of our backyard, it’s a wonderful place to chill out with a cold beverage or a hot cuppa and a good book!
Family Pool
We have a great size pool for bigger kids and adults to cool off from the heat of the day and a smaller kiddies pool which is wonderful for the smaller family members. Our kiddies pool is covered by a sail shade, and we also have seating available underneath for family members to sit, relax and watch. Our pool will be open from early December until late March and we close this to our guests at 10pm. Don’t forget to bring a pool towel from home!
In House Seasonal Dining
In the colder months our dining room will be open to travellers who are looking for a good old home style cooked dinner. Whether it is pork ribs, pasta, curries, roast or nacho’s, we will let our guests know when they book so that they can decide if they want to dine in house during their stay. We are even growing our own pumpkins for soup!
