Riverbank Park Motel

The pvwie overlooking the river was splendid. Th e toomwas clean and bright. The bathroom and toilet were poor.

Staff were super friendly. Our room was a ground level & it was quiet, clean & comfortable. Lovely view out to the river. The motel overall is showing signs of its age, but we were happy with our stay. Lovely walk along the riverside into town (not too far, but far enough that you're away from the crowds). Rates are a bit steep, but Bright is super popular & so it's to be expected given the demand.

Second time i've stayed here and enjoyed it. Very friendly staff, great location by the river and has everything I need for a nights stay. Only thing that bothered me was the loud aircon and barely any soap for the shower. Other than that, for the price I paid it was very good.

Property exits onto the river and has a pool too. Walking distance to Woolworths and city centre. Quiet and comfortable. We have stayed here twice now, and are planning on visiting again. Good place for families.

Great location, great staff. Will definitely visit again.

We stayed at the Riverbank Park Motel in May 2024. This stay was part of our Great Alpine Road trip. Despite being in a superb location on the river and close to town, it was the worst accommodation we have stayed in. I had tried to be selective in our choice and I found the website photos are misleading. Yes, there has been attempt to freshen the rooms up, but they are reminiscent of motel standards in the 1980s. The mini-kitchen was dirty, as was the windowsills and couch (as the cushions appeared unclean, I stupidly pulled them out to see how dirty they were underneath – big mistake) We didn’t sit on the couch. The carpet was stained, and the curtains had a dirty mark on them too. Needless to say, the fridge had what looked like mould growing in it. I’m not sure which is sadder, the fridge or the permanently-open 7cm gap in the bathroom which allowed a cold wind to endlessly blow the shower curtain against your body as you manoeuvre in the small shower. This was topped off by the hot water running out. This place is ok if you don’t have high standards or much money. But if you want to feel warm and clean, I suggest you go elsewhere. We didn’t bother complaining as the accommodating vibe just wasn’t there. Oh, and I need to mention the old wall rattler air-conditioner for a heater, that huffs and puffs its way through the night like a tired old dragon.
