Star Hotel Bright
Our capacity is currently 10 people inside and 20 outside. This is not going to significantly change until late October / early November. This is based on the Victorian Governments "Roadmap out of Lockdown" which is intrinsically linked to vaccination rates. We encourage all our staff and customers to get vaccinated so that we can reopen and operate in a safe, fun, and friendly environment.

As we navigate through these restrictions including different LGAs being in lockdown and the viability of being open, there may be changes to our trading hours and mealtimes. Please check social media or call to confirm the current situation. We are required to check the ID (to confirm normal place of residence) of all patrons, to ensure you are not from an LGA in lockdown.
Services
We endeavour to meet any dietary requirements or preferences, however, please note that we cannot guarantee meals are 100% allergen free. Please ask our friendly staff for assistance. Please note that due to repeated lockdowns, capacity restrictions and uncertainty of what is around the corner we may occasionally run out of your preferred meal choice.
Did you know, in addition to our normal dining areas, that are open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, we can also cater for large group bookings and functions. Here is some information to get you started. If you are simply looking to make a booking for a group over 20 (up to 60) people and you are happy to order off our regular menu, please call the hotel or request a booking via our online form.
Come and enjoy our large bar which extends from the front entrance and lounge to the outdoor terrace. Our TAB area has been consolidated and updated including TAB View, digital form and three large TV's for Sports, Sky 1 and Sky 2. High tables and chairs provide the perfect racing viewing. Enjoy full TAB facilities including Sky Channel, Trackside, electronic betting terminal as well as two cashier stations for fast, efficient betting.

Nestled amongst the beautiful surrounding mountains; Mt Buffalo, Mt Hotham, and Falls Creek, Bright is the perfect destination for a weekend or a whole week.

The star at Bright is a standard go to for decent (not brilliant) food and a place to hang out with friends. Prices are good and the staff are welcoming.

Ordered the main of lemon salt and pepper squid, squid was nice but portion size was small and they forgot to put the chips on the plate 🤔, wouldn't go back.

Nice staff.
Satay chicken sticks were average at best. Looks
Like they were straight from Woolies. Was supposed to come with salad but came with over cooked veggies.
My partner's Thai beef salad looked and tasted good.

We came during covid times and found the place not really up to health standards. They weren’t enforcing people to check in or wear masks, and even the staff members don’t wear their masks properly. You don’t even have soap in the bathrooms to wash your hands. Even all the kitchen staff aren’t wearing masks!
Food was a bit of a hit and miss. I really liked my roast of the day, but the others didn’t enjoy their meals. One of us found hair in our food.
Staff were also unfriendly. The lady at the counter was extremely condescending and looked like she wanted to kick us out.

Service was really quick. We had recieved our food and eaten it within in an hour of arriving at the venue. Food was excellent. They have nighs like a Parma Night with different types of Chicken Parmigiana like a Hawaiian one.

Two families of 5, looked on website about bookings which said bookings essential. We called and was told walk ups only from 5.30, no bookings taken. Confused we called another 6 times just to confirm this was true. All answers were yes. So we all turned up at 5.20 just in case and was told that the place was booked out and we needed to have made a booking. This is not what we were told with all of these calls. Very disappointed with staff not knowing what was going on. We ended up getting fish and chips which was a better alternative and saved us over $200 each. Won’t even try to make a booking

Went there for dinner last night and was totally disappointed in the meals. Poor quality with frozen vegetables, grilled barramundi was inedible and tasted of mould and the dessert was disgusting. Two courses that couldn’t be eaten for $36. Will not be back and will certainly not recommend it to anyone.
