This is our second visit. We all feel welcome and relaxed and are made to feel at home. Everything was spotlessly clean.

We all settled in very quickly. We had our own back garden with a BBQ. There are many walks within easy distance. The peace, comfort and cleanliness were enjoyed by us all.

It is difficult to find luxury dog friendly accommodation. This place not only offer luxury accommodation but they are the dog friendliest place we have ever stayed. They provide a list of dog walks, dog sitting services are available, dog bowls, dog beds, vets information – and so much more. We will definitely be back.

Our hostess gave us a great welcome. What a pleasure it is to stay here. Delightfully presented comfortable accommodation. Our own enclosed yard, quiet neighbourhood and the river nearby where we can go for wonderful walks. Our stay here was far too short.

As this was my first official “doggy holiday” I was very excited to be sharing Abacus At Bright with Jan & Merv who love Bright. I could spend time inside with them or sniff interesting smells in the front yard. I could also walk my little legs off along the river. I especially enjoyed my doggy biscuit and drink at the friendly coffee shop recommended by our hostess. We will definitely be visiting here again.

Abacus At Bright is definitely a winner when it comes to dog friendly accommodation. Your own gated garden area – very secure – and of course the guide given for where to go for dog friendly restaurants and cafes and doggy sitting. You can come here without a stress in the world about traveling with your best friens.

It was the little things that made our stay memorable. So many little thoughtful things. Also the location close to the river was terrific.

How delightful to find quality accommodation that welcomes the entire family. Abacus is in a great location with a great layout and is really clean. Nice people too.

We travel extensively and this is one of the best – certainly the best we have ever stayed in when traveling in rural Victoria. Everything is there that you need – and all brand new and spotlessly clean.. It is tastefully done and has a really great feel to it. It is so easy to get to the river and town is literally 5 minutes walk way. Quiet luxury – and with your own fully fenced private garden. Very well done.

The accommodation was probably the most immaculate that I have ever been in. Fabulously equipped and so close to great walks along the river. Thank you so much.

They are the ultimate. Superb location in the beautiful town on Bright, with the Ovens River and plenty of parks within easy walking distance.

I’m made to feel special. Upon arrival there was a mat and a bowl waiting for me. I could stay inside (it was very cold out). I had a lovely little garden to explore. Being close to the Ovens River I had lots and lots of walks. At only 5 minutes to town it was lovely walking in by the river. I really had a lovely time here in the special doggy unit.

Back at the desk and just wanted to say how much we enjoyed staying at Abacus last week. It really is the nicest place we possibly have picked. Bright too is beautiful. Don’t know when we can manage it, but we’ll definitely be back in the future. Thanks again.

Perfect accommodation close to town, walks and a river. It was great to sit down and study the provided booklets each night so we could figure out what activity to do or where we were going to eat the next day.

Thank you! We had a great time and the location was perfect. We’ll be back – probably for a longer stay next time. We both loved Bright as well as the towns on the drive in from Milawa. Just gorgeous! We spent a fortune on wine & cheese.

Our time at Abacus was fantastic. It was everything I expected and more. We felt very special being one of the first to make use of the cottage. I will be recommending it for sure.
