Following a serious facelift, this former motel near Bright in north-east Victoria has morphed into a swish boutique hotel.
Forget the humdrum motel check-in – Hara House has a Welcome Bar, where you are greeted with a glass of bubbles and a hot pink neon sign that spells out the vibe – “Check in Here for Good Times”. Staff including a team of Fijians, are known as Hospitality Heroes and provide a slick service. The adjoining shop, Hara Home Boutique, features designer goodies found in the rooms for when that “I want to take that home” urge surges.
A stone feature wall evokes a nostalgic touch along with a copper fireplace canopy and furry rugs, mustard-coloured armchairs and cosy sofas for after dinner natters. Breakfast and all-day snacks are available, and Coco’s Pool Bar will serve cocktails when complete.Take one of the complimentary pink bikes for a spin around the hood or get serious and head out on a longer pedal on the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail that passes by the front door of Hara House.
