Detailed Reviews
After our initial stay in 2019 we had no hesitation in rebooking at Goldfield Holiday Units. Both Sam and Marco have a genuine interest in their clients well-being and go out of their way to ensure your stay is flawless.
The Units are very clean, tastefully decorated and contain every amenity you could desire to make you feel like it's 'home away from home'.
The location is superb and the tranquility of having the riverbank to sit and relax by or walk along is priceless. Also, it is within easy walking distance from the township which is a bonus.
We feel it is worth mentioning that during the harrowing bushfire period earlier this year we were in contact with Sam and Marco and they always gave us accurate and honest information as to Brights problematic situation which was very commendable.
Please consider this property when visiting Bright as you will not be disappointed.

My friend and I visited for a pre-Christmas relax and to support country Victoria. Well, we couldn’t have asked fir a better spot. We didn’t even eat out the first night, having stopped in the way up at #Milawa Cheese and purchased their $15 cheese platter plus some biscuits. This, eaten by the babbling river was a slice of heaven. Plenty of lovely ‘gifty’ shops in town, a great brewery, walks a plenty and absolutely everything has been thought of in the rooms - including thick, soft toilet paper! Would highly recommend.

If you want a beautiful spot for rest and relaxation Goldfields is the place.
Charming hosts, spotless apartments and on the doorstep of the Ovens River.
There are only 6 apartments with all facilities. 2 bedrooms and a kitchenette.
Number 6 apartment has been totally refurbished in a very modern and stylish style. It has one bedroom, a kitchenette with all facilities and a huge bathroom with a rain shower It was a joy to stay there.
We would thoroughly recommend the place for couples.
A short stroll along the river will take you into the gorgeous village with quality shops, 2 hotels as well as a cinema and 2 supermarkets.
We came home refreshed and with a good dose of mountain air.
Thanks a million to Marco and Sam.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay here. Perfect location on the river, super clean and comfortable units and very helpful hosts.
Marco, one of the owners provided advice on where to visit and even loaned us some gloves so we could take our son to the snow.
The kitchen in our unit had a number of things to make our live easier that we appreciated as we were travelling as a family - like coffee pods, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, oil spray, salt, pepper, glad wrap and alfoil.
You can tell the hosts really care about the property and the town and I’d say go for at least three nights if not more. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Booked Goldfields only a week in advance, for 4 nights, but wasn't expecting much as all the affordable accomodation was booked out and this was the last in our price range.As soon as we arrived, Sam made us feel extremely welcome and the room exceeded our expectations, and was clean, warm and spacious for our family of four. The open garden to the river and access to the walking track was a very unexpected part of our stay and we used it daily for excercise and relaxation.
Something about the flowing river makes you feel like you are camping, but with a warm, comfy room only metres away. The township is a very short stroll away and very enjoyable on the river front, and even walking on the main road footpath was convenient and probably quicker than driving to town.
Our first family trip to Bright has done exactly what a good holiday should do, and left us wanting more, so we will just have to come back, and can't recommend Goldfields highly enough.

My husband and I had a great stay here early November.. 3 nights was not enough. Marco and Sam are lovely friendly hosts. The units are in a great location a couple of minutes walk to town, situated on the banks of the Ovens river. There is a lovely shaded area on the river to relax with a wine and cheese platter... (or a book!!).. It was our 2nd stay here the units have everything you want and more.. we would recommend this place highly and will be back... Lyn and Jon..

My wife and I stayed 4 nights near the end of June. On arrival we were greeted with a very warm & friendly welcome by hosts Marco & Sam. Marco helped with our luggage & ensured heating in unit was operating effectively (cold winter temp's prevailed).
The unit was presented spotlessly clean and was very well appointed. It was also a nice touch by our hosts to provide some complimentary tea, coffee, sugar & milk in the unit. Our Queen size bed was very warm and really comfortable, the leather sofas were also very comfy & our showers were always nice and hot.
It was a very easy 5 minute stroll to the shops, etc in the centre of town and an added bonus of having direct access to the Canyon Walk path along the banks of the Ovens River.
Thank you Marco & Sam. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book with you again when next in Bright.

We stayed at goldfields in bright for 3 nights. Stunning location on the river with beautiful gardens and the hosts Sam and Marco go above and beyond for your stay. The units were immaculate so clean with every little detail covered. Town is less than 5 min walk and 30seconds by car to woolies. Great bbq we went fishing at the trout farm and cooked our fish on the bbq! Perfect. We didn’t want to leave we had the best time. Thank you

Samantha & Marco proprietors of Goldfields are what I call the epitome of hosts, nothing proved too much trouble for this pair and they were at our parties beck and call with advice on what to do and where to go. We had visitors from NSW and Victoria and Goldfields proved a very popular stay with a short walk into Bright central and/or the number of walks that were easily accessed. Situated right next to the river with plenty of space to stretch your legs or sit and read a book., Thank you Sam & Marco, we will be recommending to one and all to stay with you for their visit to your most beautiful area. Till we meet again.
