We recently stayed at Discovery Bright for five days on a fabulous, huge caravan site right on the riverbank (Site 9a) The electricity box was a quite a way from our caravan but there are extra leads available, water but there is no sullage on the site or concrete annex pad. But..being right on the riverbank was ”the best”. Bring your own fire pit. There is no tv reception unless you have a satellite dish but it didn't bother us in the least and there is a cosy tv lounge near the office if you feel you need to tube in. The amenities are fabulous. Showers with glass shower screens to the dressing area, and a heater above. This is a beautiful location between Bright and Harrietville. Quiet and peaceful with only the noise of the river flowing by.

I really enjoyed my 2 night stay in a Standard Garden Room. You can't see the motel rooms from the street front as they are down a side path behind the owners residence. This means they are lovely and quiet. The rooms face a beautiful garden area. The rooms are older but they are super clean and have everything you need. My room had a nice sofa to sit on, a large new Smart TV (I was able to stream my own Prime Video Account on the TV), a fairly new efficient split system heater/cooling, plenty of bench space, and a big walk in shower. The young couple that own it are very friendly. I would absolutely stay here again.

”Reception - è stata un'esperienza interessante che quando ho prenotato per alcune date, ho ricevuto una conferma di posta elettronica per diverse date. L'ho ordinato con una chiamata. Pertanto, la mia prima impressione era che la ricezione fosse stata completata o .... In ogni caso , quando siamo arrivati venerdì scorso 21/4/23, abbiamo dato spazio A11 (cabina di bilancio). Era piacevolmente sorpreso che la registrazione fosse smooth ed efficiente quando siamo arrivati. Camera - era pulita e letto era comodo. Posizione - facile passeggiata verso la città e strategicamente posizionato 10 min a Wandiligong per il festival di noci, 10 min a Mountain Fresh Trout & Salmon, Harrietville, 40 min a Mt Beauty e così via. La cucina del campeggio era pulita senza alcuna spot. Nel fine settimana, ci sono stati molti gruppi etnici di campeggi che usavano la zona BBQ e la cucina del campeggio che non è stata pulita da alcuni campeggi dopo l'uso e la mattina successiva, Il personale/gestore ha visto pulire la sala da bagno di colore sporco per il giorno. Attività - c'erano film liberi aperti notturni con popcorn gratis (yum, yum) & pancake gratis per colazione. Personale amichevole e cortese /managers e certamente la mia famiglia rimarrebbe qui di nuovo”

Well it’s cheap for a reason. If all you want is a place to sleep for a couple of nights as you’re at the snow or doing some cycling then this place is ok. But that’s it. Not sure how this place got great reviews. Firstly the room is ok. We had a twin room. Bed was ok although too hard for my husband. Pillows were reasonable. Shower was nice and hot. A microwave is provided. There is a kettle (yes there are cups) and a toaster but no plates or cutlery. The split system is about 20 years old and the modern tv advertised is not a smart tv. The channels are all over the place. Channel 7 is something odd like channel 62. There is no guide to tell you which channel is which so you just have to go up and down one channel at a time, hoping to find a channel that works. Strangely there are no duvets/doonas on the beds. Just a blanket and sheet. It’s winter and about 0c outside. There should be doonas! There are spare blankets in the cupboard. Luckily we had electric blankets on our bed. But our friends in another room didn’t get electric blankets and were freezing overnight. We brought an extra heater which saved us. Yes you can leave the split system on but the airflow just made the dusty blankets dustier. I actually came home ill due to the dust. The bathroom is clean with a hot shower but no exhaust fan and we couldn’t open the window. Yes there is a back lawn which is probably great for kids in summer. But the pool doesn’t look amazing. Looks like a large bath tub with dodgy water. Maybe it has a different look and feel over summer but didn’t look inviting at all during winter. The room was clean but the next day we left the sign out to tidy our room and the cleaner asked us “ do you really need your room cleaned?” I don’t think she could be bothered so we told her to just clean the bathroom. Surprisingly, we were allowed to bring our bikes into the room which was great. We did turn them upside down so not to get the carpet dirty although I am sure many don’t bother doing that. I don’t think the owner was interested in making more money. Our friends wanted to stay an extra night but were told they were full. Not true. Most people left on the public holiday and most apartments were empty. Car park was empty. There were plenty of rooms but our friends got turned away. Wifi is average and there is a humming noise from outside during the night. We think it was the pool pump. Town is about a 10 minute walk away. Overall, it’s cheap and basic. We will try to get a warmer and less dustier place next time. Only stay here if you’re desperate.
