TYNTYNDER LODGE HAS WON THE LIFE BE IN IT AWARD FOR THE BEST PET FRIENDLY HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION IN VICTORIA FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS IN A ROW - 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008

Location

Tyntynder Lodge is set in Tyntynder Lane - a quiet country tree lined lane that finishes at the Ovens River. It only contains three houses and has no through traffic. There is a park opposite our cottages.

From the back gate of the cottages it is 50 metres to the start of the riverside walks that are one of the main tourist attractions of Bright. Walk into Bright along one of these flat, beautifully maintained walks or walk the other way into pristine bush with the delightful Ovens River gurgling beside you.

Tessies House and Tessies Studio are at the end of a blissfully quiet court off Mountbatten Avenue opposite the Arboretum (large park). It is an easy 8 minute flat walk into town. Alternatively it is 3 minutes across a park to get to the river.

Abacus At Bright is located in Mountbatten Avenue – opposite the Art Gallery 3 flat blocks from town. It is a quiet, tree lined street running parallel to the Ovens River and famous Delaney Avenue.

The tranquil Ovens River and all its riverside walks are a stones throw away. You are a gentle 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants of Bright. All this in a peaceful country environment..

Local Attractions

Bright is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Australia and yet still remains a peaceful haven for nature lovers with its glorious European scenery and atmosphere. It is close to Mt Buffalo, Mt Hotham & Falls Creek for skiing, bush walking etc.

Day trips to historic Beechworth, Mt Buffalo, Milawa, Rutherglen and the ski fields are all possible from this idyllic base

Guest Reviews

 
  • "This is the 8th time we have visited this place - and every time we come we meet people who are on their return visits just like us. It is the best place we have ever had a holiday in. The staff are so helpful and friendly; the units are spotless - really large and set in a most beautiful fully fenced garden. They have won so many awards and I can see why. Somebody really cares about this place and it shows."
    Caroline, May 2009
     
  • "This beautiful cottage was my favourite. I did not want to leave. It was stunning, immaculate, tea, coffee, sugar and milk supplied and every thing was as I had expected. Everything was there. Even pegs for the clothes line out the back. Had wash machine, clothes dryer, airconditioning in lounge area, dishwasher, etc. Linen on bed was just beautiful, china and glassware was lovely. All matching and clean. Everything was spotless!!!!! Our 2 poodles had a complaint to make - they did not want to leave and would not get in the car to go home! "

  • "It was a lovely peaceful spot to stay. Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated. Well placed within Bright as we had to walk into town and get off our behinds and do a bit of exercise! So near the river and bush trails. Also, accomodated our 4 legged friend really well with the enclosed yard. Lots of useful local information available in the apartment , handy for planning our days."
