Bright Homestead – A Tranquil Escape on the Ovens River
Set on 60 acres of picturesque farmland just on the edge of Bright, this charming homestead is the perfect base for your High Country getaway. Perched above the Ovens River and fronting the iconic Great Alpine Road, Bright Holiday Homestead combines country comfort with unbeatable views and plenty of space for the whole family. It is only a short cycle to join the Rail Trail and just 1km to the centre of town.
Ideal for couples, families, or groups, the fully self-contained home comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests across four spacious bedrooms. The master suite features a king bed and private spa ensuite, while additional rooms offer a mix of queen beds, single beds, and bunk beds to suit a variety of group configurations.
The generous living area provides a relaxed setting to unwind, with ample room for gathering, dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surrounds while watching the cattle graze below. The second bathroom includes a separate shower and a large spa bath – perfect for soaking after a day exploring Bright’s nearby trails, wineries, or snowfields. Enjoy full access to all living areas and bathrooms during your stay. Please note that extra bedrooms may be locked if not booked in advance.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join your stay, though we kindly ask that they remain off the furniture.
Bright Homestead offers a unique blend of rural serenity, convenience, and comfort – a true home away from home in Victoria’s stunning alpine region.
