On the edge of Bright, beside the Bright-Myrtleford Rail Trail and the Ovens River, an independent lodge spreads across 1.5 acres of gardens in the Victorian High Country. Self-contained timber units and suites range from a studio for two to a four-bedroom block for eleven, with a solar-heated indoor mineral pool, an outdoor open fire and complimentary bicycles. Architecturally designed timberwork and a gazebo give it more character than a standard unit court, suiting cyclists, skiers and families.
