We spent 7 days at the Buckland. If you are seeking very comfortable accommodation, obliging and unobtrusive hosts, quiet and beautiful outlooks you cannot go beyond the Buckland. It is a great based for exploring the victorian high country - Mount Buffalo, Bright, Hotham - while staying in comfort.

We recently enjoyed a delightful two night stay at this up market B&B. The view from the balcony is stunning and a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine. The studio is modern and comfortable. Nothing is missing. We had dinner one night at the nearby Villa Gusto restaurant which offers an excellent 5 course degustation menu for $75.00(AUD).... More

Recently enjoyed a one night stay (wish it could have been longer) at Buckland Retreat. Loved the views, fireplace, double shower in the bathroom and huge bed. Studio is well appointed with all necessary requirements including coffee machine, dishwasher, cook top etc. Great base for exploring the area.

We stayed in Studio 1 for 3 nights and would do so again at the drop of a hat. We were blessed with fantastic weather to go with the magical location...sitting on the deck as the sun sets over Mt Buffalo, a gentle warm breeze blowing and the only sound that of the bush settling is worth the price of...

We stayed in Studio 1 for a long weekend in April. It was amazing!! The studio is perfect, the fireplace gorgeous, everything was more than we expected. The views and exclusivity of the studio was amazing. The owners are very friendly and the breakfasts are great. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying in Bright.

Stayed in studios 4 and 5 as two couples and once again The Buckland outdid itself. The weather went from cloudy and overcast to beautiful and sunny. Eddie's breakfast was divine. If you ever want a great weekend in the high country you just can't go past combining a stay at the Buckland with a walk to DalZotto winery thanks... More

We stayed here just before Christmas when it was hot and dry. The views over the mountains are breathtaking both in morning and evening when you watch the sun disappear behind the hills. Horses in the lower paddocks you can make friends with, chestnut trees everywhere, hay bales - it's almost like being in Provence. We liked the layout of... More

We stayed at The Buckland between Christmas and New Year. Peak tourist season but you wouldn't have known it. The retreat is quiet, comfortable, luxurious. The rooms are great. Temperatures were high 30's for most of our stay but we were quite comfortable. Never had an automatic espresso machine in accommodation before. Very pleasant! We loved venturing down to the... More

We recently stayed for a couple of days at this lovely retreat. Situated in a magnificent high-country valley, The Buckland provides a perfect and luxurious venue to unwind and take stock. Quality local restaurants abound, and every little detail has been thoughtfully provided. We shall be back!

The Buckland WOWWW seems a very appropriate way of commencing, this particular B&B review and it covers it on a lot of fronts. The Buckland is set in some of the most amazingly beautiful country within Australia, in fact gorgeous was how my beautiful Wife Marion kept describing it. The area surrounding Bright which encompasses Porepunkah where The Buckland is... More
