Merrimeet Cottages
Catering Services in Alpine

Merrimeet is a grand tudor house, as close to authentic as building practices allow - right down to the adzed timbers, and hand-worked render. In winter, the snow is nearby and three ski resorts are less than an hour away. In summer the river and the bush walks are a magnet for children and adults alike. Although bright is renowned for its autumn colours, in fact, it is, ideal for holidays in any season. The centre of town is 7-8 minutes stroll around the river path. Merrimeet is located in one of the most picturesque garden locations in victoria and only a few paces from the river bank. All of the apartments and cottages are beautifully furnished and scrupulously presented. One cottage has two very spacious bedrooms and is ideal for families or two couples sharing. All have fully equipped galley kitchens and are completely self-contained. Each has its own private entrance, bedroom with queen sized bed, a lounge with a wood fire, and bathroom with double spa bath. Both the cottages and the apartments have all that is required for either a short break or a lengthy stay. Elsewhere on the property are three recently refurbished river cottages. Behind the house is a mews building, in the same tudor style, which has been converted into three elegant apartments - two downstairs and one very large attic style apartment upstairs. It is set in a hectare of english woodland garden behind a magnificent stone fence, huge wrought iron gates and right on the banks of the ovens river. But it is the autumn and spring that are exceptional in bright, and the gardens of merrimeet are bright at its best.
