"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.
M & K Horan"

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.

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!

Lovely place

The house is so beautifully maintained and has a distinct character to it. Every part of the house has been so neatly presented and is so comfortable. We loved the back garden and had heaps of plums from the tree behind. It is close to all facilities yet so quiet and calmly secluded from the main street. Having visited with out parents and kids, it was a wonderful and memorable family holiday. We will definitely visit again.
