Lavender Hue Farm B&B, and Tea Rooms

The most welcoming, peaceful, relaxing, getaway to Mt Hotham. Hand built by Rona & Bill, this amazing house is comfortable and conducive for the best sleep with the sounds if the river just a few metres away. Beautiful breakfast are served daily with a delicious coffee made to our specific taste. Highly recommended.

An absolute treat visiting this place, the owner is a real treasure, she spoke to us about her life and treated us to morning tea of homemade scones, with all dietary needs covered. A truly memorable experience.

Rona and Bill have the loveliest B&B in Harrietville next to a gorgeous river. The place is immaculate and filled with sweet touches one can imagine. It’s so cosy just like home and Rona is the sweetest host. We will definitely be back!

Hospitality with a capital A, our needs were always met and the Devonshire tea is lovely especially the lavender scones. A retreat or romantic weekend getaway totally recommended

Lavender Hue is a wonderful place for a quiet, restful break.
We just spent 4 nights there in early April, and enjoyed every moment. The loft is beautifully fitted out, the bed is very comfortable and there is a good sized bathroom with large shower and separate bath. There is a balcony at either end of the loft, one with a view to the lush garden and the other with a view to the river.
There are two pubs nearby, so dining out is easy. Also, the Harrietville to Bright bike trail is just opposite.
Rona is a very generous host and made sure our stay was everything we expected. She brings a fresh continental breakfast to the room each morning, asks about our stay, and makes sure all is OK.
Highly recommended and we hope we can return in the spring.

Lavendar hue is perhaps my most favourite place on earth! A lavendar farm located by the ovens river in the calm and picturesque town of Harrietville, 15-20 mins drive from Bright. We first visited the cafe a few years ago for Devonshire tea, and immediately fell in love with the secluded riverside setting, gorgeous cottage, beautiful gardens and the kindness and amazing vibes of the owners Rona & Bill - not to mention the addictive scones Rona bakes! We have since visited and stayed at the B&B at least once a year! Rona is an amazing host.
The cottage, built by Bill, is always spotless clean, and feels special with little flowers Rona puts in different spots. Breakfast is gorgeous, with little touches of fresh fruits, herbs from the garden, flowers, etc.
Every time we leave, we miss lavendar hue immediately and quickly start talking about our next visit.

I had a fantastic stay at the Lavender Hue Farm, I cannot praise enough how lovely this Bed & Breakfast is. Rona and Bill are formidable hosts, making the stay so lovely and authentic. The place is a little haven in the Alpine region, with a cottage feel, beautiful decoration and a great breakfast. It really is so much nicer that most of the rental places you can get around. Thank you so much Rona, we will definitely come back to see your place in Spring, Summer and Autumn

A fantastic setting, great accommodation and an amazing and kind hearted host. Will definitely be back again.

Since we discovered Lavender Hue 17 years ago we have returned every year in the autumn and spring to experience such contrasting beauty. As a busy health professional it has become my own unique, physical, mental and spiritual health retreat. Key to this is the silence and peace; only the sounds of the river flowing close by, especially each evening as we go to sleep listening to the gentle flow. Apart from the water flowing there are the constant bird songs. This silence allows us to truly appreciate the timeless beauty of the azure mountains rising steeply in front of the balcony and the array of beautiful, aged trees in the verdantly green valley. In all our travels we have never before discovered such a peaceful, silent retreat from the noise and busyness of life. This peace and tranquility allows us to refresh and revitalise ready for return to mainstream life. We could never tire of this uniquely beautiful retreat always returning with immense gratitude for the generosity of our hosts.

We had three days enjoying Harrietville and surrounds from this well appointed and cosy loft studio. Pampered by our delightful hosts Rona and Bill, we couldn't have asked for more. The studio is warm with all the mod cons and the sight and sound of the Ovens River just 'out the back'. A tasty continental breakfast was included, delivered each morning with a smile. We look forward to making several returns to Lavender Hue

As soon as you get out of the car, the first thing you’ll notice is the heavenly scent of lavender on the breeze and the beautiful, tranquil gardens. As you enter the cafe you are greeted by the warm and welcoming Rona. (I loved how you were wearing purple that day). A lovely conversation, lunch on the outside deck under the umbrellas amongst the sounds of nature, equals a most relaxing and enjoyable experience. Thanks Rona, it’s obvious you love what you do. The hardest decision we had to make was whether to order the Devonshire Tea or the Lavender Ice Cream! Both divine!

Rona is the perfect hostess, warm, funny and welcoming. Spent an hour or so on the banks of the Ovens River, lovely spot to recharge your batteries and relax. Have a coffee or devonshire tea, buy some Lavender products and just take in the beautiful scenery.

We have visited Lavender Hue multiple times over the 30+ years we have been holidaying in Bright. I even proposed to my now wife there.
It is Eden on Earth. The gardens are beautiful and the creek's running water & wild life make Lavender Hue a magical visit.
Verona is a beautiful host, the food & drink she serves in the Cafe is always fresh and hot. The natural lavender products she makes & sells are also wonderful.
There is a lot of love and dedication that has gone into making Lavender Hue an incredible destination to visit and relax among nature. A must visit destination.

Came up to bright for the weekend and stopped by this quaint little place for a coffee, lavender scones and cheese and herb scones. The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Highly recommend. Verona was a great host and is doing an amazing job running this place. Will be back for sure. P. S.lucky we did not bring our dog as they don’t allow pets.

Amazing location next to the river, the coffee and scones were magnificent and the host was very friendly.

Nice and cozy place for afternoon tea. The owner of the cafe is very friendly and nice person as well.

Took my girlfriend here for my engagement. Its an amazing cabin. I love the river. Its such a great change from the city life. I would definitely recommend. Just an old couple trying to make your stay comfortable. Will stay again.

A magical weekend in this beautiful B&B. The river running past, the smell of lavender in the air and all the timber furnishings made for the cosiest time even in the middle of winter! Rona is an inspirational woman and took care of every detail. We will be back!

We love the place, the environment, and most of all the hosts! We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit. It is one of the most special place we have ever been. The smell of lavender, the sound of the river running, the view of incredible scenery from all sides of the room, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature are just the beginning of the special experience. It is the hosts' thoughtfulness that makes the stay incomparable. We would stay forever if we could! Thank you so much, Verona, for such a wonderful experience! You are the kindest and most generous person we have ever known!

**Verona makes the best chocolate cake, brownies, and lavender cookies! Don't miss out on the tea room! She also produces a range of high quality lavender products which I personally find works really well on our sensitive skin. **

Good place, we visited in April end and we could not see the lavender flowers. December and January is right time to see the flowers, but you can visit the cafe round the year
