The location and garden surrounding are superb, the apartment is modern and has everything for a self-catering stay and the wood fire makes it very cosy in the cooler months.

The location of this cottage is impeccable, a couple of steps and you're at the ovens River with autumn leaves blanketing the ground. A couple more steps and your in Brights cbd. The room had great facilities to keep us warm and cosy, it was clean and very well kept. The host Alistair was very accommodating and helpful. We look forward to staying again.

“A really cosy, warm and very comfortable stay.”
Absolutely loved staying at Metrimeet! What I loved most was that we could walk into town along the river and have a delicious meal and then walk home. The cottage was very comfortable, warm and had nice beds to sleep in.

“It was everything we had planned and more for an enjoyable few days in Bright and surrounds.”
We stayed in Riverside cottage. Close to town but felt like a private escape on the ovens river. Loved the fireplace comfy bed and facilities, beautiful gardens and autumn colours. The Canyon walk is directly accessible and an easy walk to town along the river.

We loved the trees and the general area. The cottage was good, everything worked and the fireplace was lovely and heated the cottage very quickly.

“Very pleasant but the path from car to cottage is unsafe in the dark.”
It has all the necessary facilities to be very comfortable. We had an attractive cottage in a lovely garden. As a bonus there were no mean spirited notices telling us what not to do (as if that affects the people who vandalise.)

“Accommodation - Perfect. Host Kellie and Alistair - Perfect. Proximity to Bright shops, restaurants etc - Perfect”
Such a precious gem of a Cottage hidden in amongst the bushes, trees and beautiful flowers. A 5 minute walk along the calming river to Bright. Everything you needed was there, spotlessly clean and comfy and a spa and wood fire to top it off.
