Maybe take a picnic hamper to a spot by the river or venture further to the high plains to historic cattlemans’ huts for lunch.

Catch a trout in our nearby Ovens River, or take a stroll along the banks on one of the many walking tracks in the area.

Visit the magnificent LakeTronoh, the site of Australia's largest gold mining dredge.

    Greg was very accomodating for last minute changes. It was a great location for day trips to hike at Mt Hotham and Mt buffalo. Good for a pet friendly stay with basic amenities. Though lacking in cleanliness.

    This is a gorgeous part of the universe. The house was cute and as stated with single bathroom and 2 bedrooms. The cottage needs a thorough clean out of dust and cobwebs, but it is a lovely, cosy place if you can overlook this. The driveway is quite overgrown and was concerning to navigate when we first arrived.Communication with the hosts was fantastic and their recommendations for things to do and places to eat were fabulous. We dealt with the paper wasp nest on the front porch ourselves.

    Had a lovely time, exactly what we wanted. Nice and cosy even with a fire. Bonus was there was a nice warm shower which we weren’t expecting. Thank you for having us.

    The cottage provided everything we needed for our stay making it an enjoyable stress free time. A quaint cottage which presented well and was a great base for exploring the beautiful surrounding areas of Harrietville and nearby Bright.
