Platypus Bend - right on the river

Space, style, light and river frontage - a short stroll from town along one of Bright's most picturesque walks.

All the reasons people love to holiday in Bright is literally at your back door when you stay at Platypus Bend. This home backs directly onto the Ovens river and Canyon walk, plus one of the most photographed stretches of the Canyon walk and its glowing golden poplars is mere minutes out your back gate.

Recently renovated, this holiday home offers light, space, a bright and uplifting style in a perfect location that’s quiet and close to everything.

Located in Bright, Platypus Bend is the perfect family holiday retreat, suitable for one, two or even three small families and would also be a great choice for a group of friends.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 fitted with queen beds and the other two decked out with bunks this home can comfortably sleep up to 10 people and is one of only a handful of holiday accommodation in Bright that has a swimming pool which families will love on Summer days & nights.

Every bedroom enjoys glorious sunlight with large windows and all bar one have the convenience of built-in robes. The master bedroom enjoys the added bonus of a private ensuite & walk in robe. The main bathroom has been renovated with delicious soft pink tiles, beautiful fittings and a deep bath to soak the hours away after a day on the slopes.

Bedroom 2 : Tri-bunk (Queen/King single)
Bedroom 3 : Queen bed
Bedroom 4 : Queen bed

The living areas have room for everyone, with ample space for the whole tribe.
The dining area can seat everyone, luscious leather couches surround your wood fire in the open plan family area perfect for those cosy nights. There’s also a separate TV room with an additional oversized modular couch to sink into for movie nights or to provide another area for kids to hang together.

A drying cupboard, along with a boot, shoe and glove drying rack is going to make this the ideal choice in Bright accommodation for the outdoor enthusiasts, allowing you to stay cosy and dry. An added bike shed means you can keep all your valuable sporting gear safely locked away too.
