High Country Motor Inn

Beautiful location and gardens and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Loved the recommendation to walk into town along the river rather than the street! Very spacious room and comfy bed. Pool was a little chilly!😂😁🥶😉

We only stayed a single night and our options for accommodation in Bright were very slim. We stayed in a family suite, 2 bedrooms with a Queen bed and two singles. I’ll start with the pros: Good hot water and shower pressure Clean,crisp bed linen Nice lawn area around the tiny pool area. Cons: VERY outdated… VERY circa 1972. Had to jiggle the key in the front door for about 5 minutes every time we wanted to get inside. Toilet cistern leaked onto the floor all night. Bath had no taps, literally just had the springs remaining (lucky we were kid free this weekend!). Bed was so uncomfortable we should have driven home instead, both rolled into the middle all night and had a terrible sleep. The TV was glitchy and drove us insane with its poor reception. Zero phone service and NO wifi - take a book if you’re staying here, seriously. Won’t be coming back here again.

Clean, roomy and really appreciate we can have our dog with us. Heating in room was great as well as electric blankets. Location walking distance to shops. Very affordable we would stay again. Nice grassy area

The room was clean , spacious and comfortable . Apart from a queen size bed and a single bed there was a two seater lounge , table and chairs. The bathroom doubled up with some basic kitchen facilities, fridge , electric jug , toaster etc . I asked for and was given a micro wave oven to use. The room has everything I needed , I enjoyed my stay . The grounds that include a pool and playground facilities for kids were well kept . The Ovens River is only a short walk away . The town was only a short drive away .

Not a glamour spot but peaceful, comfortable, large rooms for charging our bikes & an economical stay. A pleasant walk into Bright along the river for our coffee & meals. We would happily return & agree with our friends who recommended we book here

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the room change that occurred during my stay at High Country Motor Inn Bright. I had booked a 2 bedroom Family Suite for one night on the 24th of April 2023, and upon arrival, I was informed that I had been given a single family room instead. When I walked up to the reception to enquire about the change, I was shocked to hear that they were already expecting this complaint, indicating that this is not an isolated issue. The lady at the reception informed me that instead of charging me the X amount for the 2 bed room suite that I had booked, they charged me the Y amount, assuming that I would be happy with the change. However, this assumption is incorrect, as I had booked the 2 bedroom Family Suite in advance and expected to stay in that room. I was disappointed that the hotel staff did not discuss the change with me prior to my arrival and just made changes without informing me. As a customer, I expect better hospitality and communication from the hotel staff. I understand that issues can arise, but it is important to inform customers prior to making changes to their bookings. The lack of transparency in this matter has left me dissatisfied with the hotel's services and the quality of hospitality. I advise future guests to be cautious while booking rooms at High Country Motor Inn Bright and ensure that they confirm their room reservations before arrival.

This is not a great place to stay. It is very dated and in desperate need of upgrading. The photos make it look better than it is. The bathroom was awful and the old metal commode in the bathroom area was a real put off. The beds were not really comfortable and the heater was very noisy. We had to hunt for a powerpoint to charge phones and the one we found was loose in the wall which seems really unsafe. The remote for the TV did not work. We booked for 2 nights but left after one. They did not give us our money back for the one night we didn't use, stating they don't refund cancellations. Such a disappointing way to start our holiday. We stayed in many places around Victoria and NSW on our trip and got much better and nicer accommodation everywhere else, for the same price as we paid for this property. It is way overpriced for what it is.

Great location on way into Bright close to walking trails along the Ovens river, surrounded by beautiful trees and gardens visible from all rooms. Lovely restaurant and bar area serving cooked breakfasts and dinners for our tour group. Spacious Rooms are dated and in need of upgrade and were not serviced daily which was disappointing.

The motel is set back from the main road in and out of town. Not of recent build, but the rooms are very pleasant with high ceilings (takes time to warm up) and large windows. All usual facilities are provided. Clean and spacious. Plenty of parking. Recommended.
