"Thank you so much for the personal touches such as message board, Happy Birthday signs and fresh flowers, not to mention the wine and chocolates. This place is absolutely perfect with everything you could need. It is such a homely place and we love the colour scheme.
The gardens are beautiful and you couldn’t be in a better location with the beautiful Ovens River and not too far for guests to walk into town. Mum and Dad had a wonderful holiday seeing the sights but I think they enjoyed the house so much more.
We have stayed in lots of places in Bright and honestly this is the nicest place we have stayed in. We will be back..Thanks again.

Lovely place to stay
Very neat and well maintained property. Excellent hosts. We had kids and needed microwave to warm up milk for them. When it was not working and we informed them, they replaced quickly. Very convenient to visit the shops or stroll along the river.

Autumn in Bright
We had a lovely time in Bright with great weather and beautiful autumn leaves. Property was lovely and great position beside the Ovens river surrounded by autumn trees and walking distance into Bright town centre. Rod and Paula were very helpful with local information and very responsive to any questions. Look forward to coming back Keith, Louise and Andrew

Lovely break at Roses on the River
We stayed at Roses on the River for 4 days R&R after the usual Christmas frenzy. The house was perfectly located: backing on to the river, 5 mins walk from central Bright including supermarket, but also very quiet and peaceful. There were 5 adults, and the house had everything we needed. We had a a lovely few days filled with walks along the river, excellent dining in local restaurants and pubs, and a couple of half-day trips to interesting local tourist spots.

Lovely Home in the Perfect Location!
Thank you Rod & Paula! We had the best weekend escape in Bright and surrounds, thanks to having a lovely cozy base to stay in. Easy walk into the town center and woke up in the mornings to the sounds of the river. Great comfy couch and well setup lounge area for relaxing. Amazing kitchen/laundry/bathrooms and of course the garden is gorgeous! We hope to stay here again for future adventures in the area.

Fantastic location and facilities.
We are a young family and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Roses on the River. Location was awesome for accessing everything including the river, park, splash park, canyon walk and shops. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equiped and we had more than enough space. Easily one of the cleanest places I have stayed. The owners were lovely and easy to deal with. We hope to be back again one day!

Great location in a great town
We enjoyed our stay. Bright is a lovely town. We particularly enjoyed the number of cycling options. The cottage itself backs on to the river, making it a short and pleasant walk into town. If you’re staying in winter, note there is no fire, but there is an air conditioner which does a reasonable job of warming the living area and the bedrooms have good electric blankets.

Quick get away
Lovely little cottage. The gardens are beautiful. So nice to sit under the pergola. One of our party was elderly and mobility impaired. The cottage was perfect for him to get around with his walking stick. It was also easy to push the wheelchair into town. Highly recommend. Great set up for families with young children too.

Bliss by the river in Bright
The location and setup of Roses on the River was perfect for our short family break - walking distance to everything, great facilities and cosy ambience. Rod met us when we arrived and walked us though all the main property features. We really appreciated the personal touch and all the effort that went into making us feel so welcome. The break was relaxing from start to finish. I highly recommend the Halls as hosts and their beautiful cottage.

Great Weekend, great accomadation, great Host
communication was great, we were greeted on arrival, and the accommodation was charming and welcoming. There was a bottle on arrival, chocolates on on pillows, it felt special. The location of the property was central, we did not use our car during our stay, as it is walking distance to the center of bright. Would stay again. Highly recommend this place.
