Amazing place
A group of girlfriends and I stayed here with my baby and had a great time. The property offers a lot. We had an issue with hot water at night and was very quickly fixed for us which was very much appreciated.

Great Group stay
Great space! 6 bedrooms, but rumpus upstairs could be used as a 7th bedroom. Clean property, great location. Backyard is smaller than appears on photos but still functional space.

Bright Car Show 2023
We came from Sydney for the Car show in Bright. We had 5 cars. The property was great as we could lock the cars in the yard at night. The rooms were great. Pillows a bit hard. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and the scenery was great. Good being so close to Myrtleford as well with the shops and eateries. Overall it was a great stay.
