What Guests Say About Their Stay

The property is beside a river lovely to walk along and for kids to play. The cabins are comfortable some are small others larger particularly overlooking the river. Dee the manager very helpful. Short trip into Bright for any food shopping at Woolworths or the IGA both have everything you need. The bakeries have great bread and cakes. If going to the snow the Porepunkah ski hire has snow chains for your wheels, that you must carry even if not used, often 4WD and AWD do not need chains but you must be prepared and may face a fine if not carried. This is a pet friendly site, the rooms are well heated for your winter stay, good hot water, TV in lounge and bedroom.

A great location next to the Ovens river, provides a great base from which to explore the Ovens Valley, and the Buffalo and Alpine national parks. Much quieter than Bright, which is still only 5 minutes down the road for all of your shopping needs and conveniences.

For the price it was good. But it was VERY dirty- my socks were black within seconds of walking in there. The surfaces were also dusty which made me uncomfortable especially because we had our toddler with us. My cousin ls stayed at the same holiday park in a cabin on the other side and their place was much cleaner. Otherwise location was good but you can't really walk anywhere- need to drive.
