Lovingly renovated cosy 2 bedroom 1 bathroom retreat ( please note - we have just redone bathroom completely for 2023) with full private Ovens river frontage at the end of a quiet court yet only 250 m away from Rail Trail Café, Porepunkah Pub and Punka Pantry at the base of majestic Mount Buffalo.

Enjoy your time in the light open plan living / kitchen area on our comfy couch or read a book on the Veranda or on a bench overlooking the river.
The expansive lawn out the back is a perfect place for kicking a footy with the kids or to play a game of Finksa.

Enjoy a glass of wine on the outdoor setting listening to the rippling sound of our own little creek cascading down to the river.
Or sit and enjoy your afternoon tea in the established garden at the front with stunning autumn colours that attracts a lot of native birds like Crimson Rosellas , King Parrots, Kookaburras etc.

In Winter enjoy the cosy open fire (wood provided) and stay warm in bed with an electric blanket (QS bed only). And there is always the reverse cycle aircon to heat up living area quickly and bar heaters are also supplied.

The entire property is for your own use and is on a 1560 m2 block

There is something to do for everyone in the beautiful High Country:

- swimming in the river or in some of the nearby water holes (Sinclair near Punka airfield)
- the area is a paradise for cyclists : we are only 200 m for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail or the Mountain Bike park in Bright is only 9km away. There is also great MTB trails up in Falls Creek.
For road cycling its hard to decide what mountain to tackle first - Mt Buffalo just at our doorstep, Falls Creek over Tawonga Gap or Mt Hotham.
- in Winter choose to ski at Falls Creek / Hotham which is about 1 hr away or take the kids tobogganing / snow play up to Mount Buffalo
- If hiking if more your style there is endless opportunities at Mount Buffalo with waterfalls, Lake, rock boulders etc or in Alpine National Park with Mt Feathertop to name only a few
- Bright 18 hole country Golf Club is only over 1km away
- There is lots of great shops and cafes/ restaurants in Bright if you enjoy a browse.

    We loved staying at Judith's home in Porepunkah, very cozy and well appointed. Great location for heading out to Beechworth and Bright environs for day trips and biking. Judith is an amazing host!

    A fireplace without suitable kindling and smaller start up logs is useless. No ambiance. No warmth. Two nights booked . There should be two nights worth of wood with all the fixings to get a fire going.

    Everything you could possibly need in a lovely bush setting. Great communication from hosts. It’s obvious much love and consideration has gone into this property. Only feedback is overall cleanliness. The floors specifically needed a really good vac/ mop. Only really an issue with little ones playing on the floor! Overall however a great property. Thanks for having us :)

    The location of this cute little house was perfect. A walk to the main street and local cafe, and the relaxing river behind the property. Perfectly quiet, clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

    Was a lovely property. The heater kept the place toasty despite the winter outside. We loved it and would come again in a heart beat.
