A must-stay-at place in Bright. Delightful, spacious heritage room with well-appointed ensuite. Carpet a little tired and GEM not tuned in so no rugby league to watch. Cafe Velo was the best - retro kitchen atmospherics with a touch of uni lounge a la 1970s - perfect place to chill out in front of wood fire and enjoy the cycling... More

Whether your just riding into town, or driving down better-than-ever-street make Bright Velo your finish line. Friendly and accommodating, both Wayne & Susan look like they could ride in the Tour de France at a moments notice. We stayed one comfortable night and found the new cafe warm, relaxed and a fascinating glimpse into the world of professional bike racing.... More

Very special to find a place where it is entirely normal to have a place to hang your bike, someone to point out all the good local rides, and a wonderful cycling-themed cafe with great coffee and food and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the whole establishment. Heritage B&B room cosy, comfortable and good value. Appreciated the warm hospitality of Susan... More

Stayed here for one night after cycling from Beechworth a long day. Received a warm welcome from Wayne . We stayed in the heritage rooms which were warm and comfortable. After attending the Anzac Day dawn service Wayne had the coffee machine ready at 7am and served excellent coffee. The cooked breakfast was tasty and generous. We would willingly stay... More

Friendly, simple, warm & clean. In the centre of town in peak autumn season, I consider my stay as good value for money. I wasn't a cyclist, made very welcome & enjoyed closeness to Valley view walk and rail trail (walk/ride) to Porpunka. hope to return Narelle

The Bright Velo Hotel used to be known as the Bright Oriental. Then Wayne, previously a professional cyclist took over and changed it to a cycle-themed hotel. As we arrived in Bright via the 85km rail trail from Wangaratta, we figured it would be appropriate to stay there. For $170 we got a decent double room with an en suite,... More

The Bright Velo is centrally located and we were able to walk easily around Bright, which is a lovely medium sized town. The room was clean and provided with lots of coffee, tea and milk. I liked that the fridge was empty (except for milk) allowing me to put our essentials in it. We had the room to ourselves for... More

We stayed in early April 2013 for one night, en route to Melbourne. Although the accommodation was your basic 70's retro (nothing fancy, could do with a bit of sprucing up), it was comfortable and clean and the price reflected the standard of accom. We stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment off the outdoor area at the rear... More

We stayed here one night last week with our friends from Canberra and loved everything about our stopover. We cycled from Beechworth and loved arriving into beautiful Bright to see 'Arrivee Bright Velo' ahead as we cycled in. Our rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. Secure bicycle storage was great and you could be tempted to spend hours in the... More
