Wonderful 2nd stay in Freeburgh
Well we had promised ourselves we would return after a long weekend at this lovely holiday house last year. Grandparents, children and dog all loved it. Perfect location between Bright and Harrietville. It was a very cheery and welcoming sight to return to this year. We stayed for 9 nights, did 5 days of skiing at Hotham with our oldest (took the daily coach from Harrietville) whilst our youngest enjoyed staying with grandparents and our dog at the house and exploring the local area (Bright, Myrtleford etc). We loved the walks in the area near the river and the crisp fresh air. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, good heating although sadly we didn’t need to light the fire this year, good linens (might just point out that one of the towel racks in main bathroom is still falling off the wall), and lovely memories of watching the stars at night and meals around the big kitchen table. Thank you Anne and Charles for a lovely stay!

Beautiful country getaway
Lovely relaxing and comfortable stay for the entire family in a beautiful country setting. Lots of space inside and out, well appointed kitchen and living area. Great location for exploring the Victorian alpine area especially Bright and Mt Hotham/Dinner Plain and excellent local walks. Easy check in and check out process, and owners communicated well. Our children were sad to leave and want to return again soon!

Lovely relaxing stay
We stayed here with my parents, husband and 2 teens (and dog) and really enjoyed our time. The lounge and dining area is large enough for everyone to relax and made a lovely and toasty by the wood fired heater. Everything was as described and I'd definitely recommend this place.

Peaceful dog friendly getaway
This is a true hidden gem and definitely will be returning. Being surrounded by nature helped us relax and unwind as in a very peaceful location - even had a visit by a wombat during our stay! Great large fenced area kept our dog very happy too and allowed him to exhaust himself. Property close enough to Bright township to visit where there is plenty to do including GIN tasting, beer brewery, shopping, Bright markets. House clean and inviting, owners easy to communicate with.

Magic spot
Very happy with our stay. Great location, just a short distance to Bright. Perfect house if you have dogs, yard was nice & secure and the house just a short distance to the river. Great for cyclists too with the cycle track just across the main road

Relax at Freeburgh
Perfect place for a chill holiday. Close enough to Bright for easy access to shops and Mystic park, but lovely and quiet - no crowds in Freeburgh. We rode, swam in the river across the road and hiked up to M Feathertop. Great holiday spot

Close to Bright, close to the river, excellent fun for the whole family. Great for our beloved Blue Heeler, he loved his daily swims in the river and baking in the sun in the large fenced yard. Wish we could have stayed longer!
