Abalina Cottages, Rotary Drive  

Tucked in the heart of Bright, this family-friendly cottage sits within easy walking distance of Sew Bright Alpine Quilting, Bright Library, the Bright City Clock Tower and Bright Visitors Centre. Bright Splash Park and the Valley View Walking Trail are a short stroll away, and Albury Airport is about 105.7 km distant.

Three individually decorated guestrooms keep things cosy and a little cheeky — think fireplaces, flat-screen TVs and private balconies or patios. Rooms come with full kitchens (fridge/freezer, oven, stovetop), DVD players and iPod docks for laid-back evenings.

Take in garden views and fire up the barbecue grills. Babysitting is available for a surcharge, and there’s bicycle tour info plus bike parking for two-wheeled adventures. Free self-parking and an elevator make arrivals easy.

Express check-in and check-out keep things efficient. Dry cleaning and laundry services are on hand, and free self parking is available onsite.

There’s an on-site restaurant for relaxed meals and a barbeque area for DIY dining. Many rooms include full kitchens, so you can cook local produce after a day exploring Bright.
