A golden escape in the High Country

There’s something about Bright that just makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and savour the little things. Maybe it’s the crisp mountain air, the winding Ovens River, or the backdrop of rolling High Country peaks. Whatever the reason, Bright has long been a favourite getaway spot for couples and solo travellers who want a blend of adventure and relaxation.

And this December, Tasman Holiday Parks – South Bright is taking that experience up a notch with the arrival of two retro-style Goldy caravans.

Meet the Goldys: vintage charm with a modern twist

At 19-feet, these beauties are compact but bursting with character. Think polished retro style meets modern creature comforts. Every detail has been designed to give you that unique, boutique-stay feeling without sacrificing convenience.

The Goldys have their own private patch of the park, set slightly apart from the hustle and bustle so you can enjoy a little extra peace and quiet. Step outside and you’ll find your own timber deck, the perfect spot for a morning coffee, afternoon vino, or lazy afternoon reading session.

Your own private fire pit retreat

Of course, the showpiece of each site is the fire pit precinct. Nothing says “High Country getaway” quite like gathering around the fire, and at South Bright, we’ve created intimate little fire nooks just for you.

Each Goldy site comes with a rust-finished corten fire pit, flanked by classic Adirondack timber chairs. It’s the kind of setup that practically begs for marshmallows, mulled wine, and long chats under the stars.

At night, subtle bollard and spike lighting glow softly among the landscaped gardens, creating a magical little oasis. Whether it’s a romantic escape or a solo recharge, these fire pit evenings are where the memories are made.

Surrounded by nature, designed for privacy

We wanted the Goldys to feel secluded but still connected to the park’s natural beauty. To create that balance, each site has been thoughtfully landscaped with native plants and shrubs. Hedges and greenery create natural screens, giving you a sense of privacy without shutting you off from the surrounds.

You’ll see plenty of hardy Australian natives in the gardens chosen not only for their beauty but for their ability to thrive in the alpine climate. Step outside and you’ll feel like you’re in your own secret garden.

Perfect for couples and solo travellers

These retro caravans were made with couples and solo adventurers in mind. If you’re the type who loves a good hike during the day, then kicking back in a cozy, stylish space at night, the Goldys are your match. They offer the quirk and personality of a vintage van, but with the polish and comfort you’d expect from a boutique stay.

Couples will love the romance of evenings by the fire, while solo travellers will find it the perfect base for recharging after exploring Bright’s trails, waterfalls, and local wineries.

Explore the best of Bright

The beauty of staying at South Bright is that you’re just minutes away from everything this region is famous for. Wander into town for a craft beer or wine tasting, cycle the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, or head out on a hike to take in some of the most stunning alpine scenery in Victoria.

When you’ve had your fill of adventure, retreat back to your Goldy, kick off your boots, and let the crackle of the fire set the tone for the evening.

A stay that’s a little bit different

We know that sometimes the best holidays are the ones that offer something unexpected. The Goldy caravans aren’t just a place to stay, they’re an experience in themselves. A nod to nostalgia, a splash of luxury, and a setting that makes it easy to unwind.

By day, explore the beauty of Bright and the High Country. By night, retreat to your own secluded space, with firelight flickering and the stars above.
