About this property

Bakers Gully Retreat

Baker Gully Retreat is situated in a beautiful garden setting, surrounded by large pines,boarded by Bakers Gully Creek and only a 5 minute walk to the town centre.

2 Bedroom budget 1970's (unrenovated) retro style self-contained unit with the ability to sleep up to five(listing for 1 unit, ask us about our second one). Unit contains 1 double bed in the main bedroom, 2 singles in the second bedroom and a futon couch in the lounge. (NO WIFI)


The units comes with a fully equipped kitchen (nothing flash, just the basics) allowing you to cook up a storm at home or with the property only a 10 minutes walk to town you can stroll down and enjoy a meal at one the many eateries that Bright has to offer.

The retro furniture and decor in the units will take you back in time to a time of carefree living, and the gardens surrounding will make you feel relaxed on arrival.

Bright has so much to offer, the activities seem endless. While staying you could try:
- Golf at our 18 hole golf course.
- Paragliding.
- Mountain bike riding in the Mystic MTB Park.
- Bike riding along the Murray to Mountain bike trail.
- Swimming or Kayaking at the Ovens River or Lake Catani, Mt Buffalo.

- Amazing walking/running tracks.

Day trips are a must when visiting Bright. Wandiligong, Harrietville, Beechworth, Mt Beauty, Milawa and of course Mt Hotham, Falls Creek and Mt Buffalo all offer visitors much to see and do.

If Food and Wine(or Beer) are your passion here in Bright & surrounds you will not be disappointed, you can take your pick from so many different restaurants you wouldn't have to eat at the same place during a week long visit.

Bright is known for its four distinct seasons and the Spring & Autumn Festivals help us to celebrate two of them, with open gardens, fireworks displays and parades in the main street.
Bright also plays host to many other amazing events over the course of the year including, Hot Rod weekend, Brighter days weekend and numerous sporting events.

Good base for activities
Served us well as a home base. It's just a short walk to town we could do our shop, ride bikes then return to chillout in the garden space infront of property whilst listening to the creek.

Good value however the linen and towels need a good clean!
Great location and value for money. Some basic maintenance of facilities and thorough cleaning of linen would enhance this listing greatly.

Not what was advertised
Just disappointed that it wasn't the same place as what was advertised. Advertised unit was modenised, with nicer furniture. The lounge suite was torn stained and sagged in places. Carpet was stained in lounge area, heater was full of dust. It wasn't expensive, but at least be true to advertising

She ain't fancy. Only gave it 5 stars because the water pressure in the shower covers all wrong. Needs another heater ideally.

Substandard cleanliness
Fantastic location. I understand it was budget accommodation but cleanliness was definitely substandard. Can overlook certain things as it is listed as a budget accommodation but don’t feel that we should have to clean before and after we stay.

We never come back again
It's very old building and smelled mould. We had most uncomfortable bed ever. The beds were narrow, short and no mattress as well as sofa in living room. I'm 163cm height but can touch the bottom of beds. My friends actually left after they stayed 1 night because the beds were hard, uncomfortable and wasnt clean properly. There is a big backyard however, no one did mowing so, we couldn't go there. The unit was not inviting us at all. I hope the host makes good holiday accommodation for travellers.

Fun Retro
We would definitely here again. Short walk to shops and the weekend market that was on at the footy oval. The unit is retro fun and reminded me of my childhood home. It is very clean and very warm. We enjoyed lunch by the creek at the bottom of the garden and Michelle has added fun features.

Stayed over at this property over 3 nights and was well worth the stay. The accommodation was clean and accessible and the owner was easy to communicate with. Close to centre of town and to walking & MTB trails.The area where the property was situated was very nice & quiet.
