Guest Reviews
- Bhagya (8/5): -
- Justin (10/5): -
- Michael (7/5): Well located for our trip, decent value for money. - Clean basic cabin, decent value for money. Some "family noise" from small children nearby (woke my daughter), but nothing too bad. More blankets in each bedroom would have been nice.
- Cherise (1/5): Don’t waste your money staying here. - The river was nice The lady at the reception was so rude, the cabin was absolutely filthy, when we complained about it the cleaning staff came and confronted us about the complaint. The lady at the front (Dee) lied and said she’d give a partial refund for the stay but then decided not to once we left.
- Dave (9/5): -
- John (7/5): As a senior couple, we are happy to recommend. - Good location, value for money, friendly staff. Internet reception was poor, mobile reception was OK.
- JACQUIE (8/5): Overall it was a good stay. - Great stay. Very clean and tidy and wonderfully quiet. Kitchen was well appointed and had everything you could need.
Outdoor table and chairs were nice to soak up the late afternoon sun. Only cons are the extremely small bedrooms. Tiny bathroom basin with no bench area and no shelf in the bathroom to put anything. A shelf could easily be put above the toilet. A small TV with very poor sound.
- Thomas (8/5): Large sized 2 bedroom cabins with great lounge an table seating. - The large size of the 2 bedroom cabins including a lounge, indoor and outdoor dining tables.
- Henry (8/5): -
- Daniel (8/5): Beautiful location and value for money. - Easy check in, beautiful location, friendly staff, good price point compared to 5 minutes further into Bright. Can fit a family of 6 into a two bedroom cabin comfortably. The shower was hard to use for the kids, stove/oven pretty dated, not major issues though.
- Simon (7/5): Lovely, comfortable stay right by the beautiful Ovens river. - The location right by the river is amazing! Beds were super comfortable. It had all the basic info you would need in the kitchen. The cabin is in need of a deep clean. It was very dusty and the shower needs a scrub.
- Andrew (9/5): - Great cabins in an idyllic setting.
- Philip (7/5): Comfortable and well located. - Clean presentation.
All basic cooking, crockery & cutlery needs were met. There were no staff around during the day to check that all was ok.
- Phillip (8/5): - Clean and quiet
- Swue (9/5): - Very spacious and comfortable cabin right near the river
- Helen (7/5): Won’t be back due to receptionist. Most unpleasant - Location was great. The lady in reception. She was borderline rude and very intolerant. When in customer service just be nice to your customers.

- Nevin (10/5): -
- William (10/5): Short, sweet and very comfortable - Clean spacious unit. Much bigger than ones I’ve stayed in at other holiday parks. Walking distance to the pub for dinner so can’t complain and the staff were lovely Nothing, it was a great stay
- David (9/5): -
- Vivian (6/5): - 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.
- Avisha (8/5): - Easy assisble
- Saad (10/5): - Convenient and nice facilities
- William (4/5): Not satisfied and dissapointed especially with the cleanliness - The cabin was not clean when we arrived. We stayed at pet friendly cabin.
They put the broom, mop and bucket inside the cupboard when we hang our clothes
The shelfing ( top and bottom ) inside the cupboard was dirty and I need to wipe it a few times.
The floor was dirty.
- Kiran (9/5): -
- hussain (9/5): Overall great experience - It was a nice place overall. Great experience to stay. Beds were too soft for me (not good for back aches)
Kids bedroom didn’t have heated blankets
- Gurinder (1/5): Disappointing - Definitely not like the way we were treated by the staff. Very unprofessional behaviour as we were not allowed to have the keys for the cabin which was booked and paid by us as a gift to our friends as we requested to have the keys for their cabin because they were running late and were reaching there in the late evening but the lady on the reception refused to give us the keys and her behaviour was so rude that we were annoyed and uncomfortable on the arrival at the facility. Also not recommended if someone is booking through booking.com as they don’t change the dates if you got an emergency as they say because you booked through the third party that’s why they can’t change the dates..
- Amanjit (8/5): Comfortable and beautiful - Location and comfort Was not cleaned properly
- Rhiannon (10/5): - Beautiful tranquil spot by the river. The cabin had everything we needed and was close to Bright and Mt Buffalo, and the staff are super lovely. Will definitely stay again!
- Gilles Jules (8/5): - Very comfortable and quality amenities
- Gurung (10/5): Exceptional - It was easy to check in and out. -
- Tarun (5/5): Passable -
- Nirmala (6/5): Pleasant -
- Vipulkumar (9/5): Superb - Location was awesome, Dee- the manager -Awesome - pretty good experience.
Cabins are amaz8ng and pet friendly cabins a big plus. A communal area with a fire pit would have been better where we could have had more fun as a group.
Overall good experience however.
- Sonthaya (8/5): Very good -
- Hoang (10/5): Exceptional -
- Harkirat Singh (10/5): - Awesome stay really enjoyed it, great environment.
- Sabu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alexandre (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Debbie-lee (7/5): Short and sweet but complete. Thankyou! - Cabin was clean and everything worked. Lovely budget cabins but needed a few more hooks to hang jackets and towels. Save making a mess in the nicely kept cabin. Thankyou!
- Johan (10/5): Exceptional - The place is at a very nice spot. On arrival, there was a problem with our booking but the lady behind the desk was very understanding and helpful. She did sort the problem quickly. We will definitely book there again. 😀 We can't say anything bad about the place.
- Sam (8/5): Very good -
- Shahid (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaushal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deb (9/5): The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The location is excellent and the cabin was very comfortable. - Beautiful location
Great cabin
- Martin (6/5): Overall pretty good, but would have booked a cabin that had an oven like advertised. - The price was great, beds clean and comfy. Cabin listing said it had an oven and clothes rack which it had neither. Bought food to be cooked in oven which were unable to do and the clothes rack would have been handy to hang ski gear on. Managed but would have been nice to know to bring a clothes rack and food that didn’t require an oven.
- Attinder (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chloe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Devani (8/5): Very good -
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing setting on the river, clean modern cabin, and staff had the heater on so we arrived to a lovely warm cabin.
- Lavakula (10/5): Relaxing weekend in bright - Loved our little weekend stay, the unit itself was tidy and kept in good condition with everything needed in the kitchen/unit. At the base of mt buffalo it’s so convenient, so lovely to wake up to the river and the sounds of nature. It suited our needs perfectly. Check in was easy & staff so lovely & helpful. Have had nothing but good things to say about this place and the town itself. Will definitely be returning! 😊 heated sheets were a plus for those chilly mornings
- Mu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dee (10/5): Perfect for our one night stay for our trip to the snow - It’s location, it’s surroundings, the cabin amenities, the parks layout, the exceptional customer service of the lovely individual named “Dee” at check in and check out.
- Dina (10/5): - The cabin was so relaxing and the area was quiet
- Lucy (10/5): Lovely comfortable one night stay in a beautiful part of Victoria, en route to Melbourne. Would definitely come back. - The cabin was modern, bright clean. Lovely fresh white linen and towels. Warm and cosy.
Great location, close to Bright. Great pub close by in Porepunkah. Lovely welcoming and informative receptionist. The park itself is a bit run down in
some parts but did not bother us as we were literally just there to sleep.
- Vinnie5663 (10/5): A lovely stay in a very comfortable accommodation - Bedding was pristine, fresh and the fact there was a double / queen bed in both rooms, which is great for for 2 couples or 2 singles friends traveling together. And this was advertised as an economy cabin, we thought it was a lot more than that!!!
And Dee was brilliant! Nothing
- Jennie (7/5): Good -
- Mullinder (9/5): Superb - Quiet and stunning scenery, great for families. Couldn't find anything we didn't like
- Rose (8/5): Very good - Close to everything
- Karen (10/5): - Very pretty surroundings at this time of the year.
- Natalia (10/5): Beautiful spot to spend weekend and more - Very helpful manager 👍
Beautiful location
Crispy clean linen and towels
- Samantha (10/5): Highly recommend for all age groups. SVery picturesque and in such a great location just a short stroll to the shops. Ca - Atmosphere, it’s so picturesque and in such a great location
- Jdk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Warwick (8/5): Very good -
- Steven (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jehan (7/5): Good -
- Leigh-anne (1/5): Bad - The staff were delightful, and the camp site itself was incredibly beautiful and in a great location. The cabin smelled terrible...so bad that we decided to cut our stay short. I'm not sure if you could generalise this to other cabins, or if we just got unlucky.
Also, at almost $1,000 for three nights, the accommodation was generally basic (small sofa if all beds were taken and mediocre bed).
- Masha (8/5): Very good -
- Rosa (10/5): Awesome - Quiet and peaceful
- Nikhil (8/5): - Located at a convenient location and felt safe.The amenities were good.Kids loved the pool and playing in the river .Overall we had a good time .
- Daniel (8/5): Very good - Great location to explore the region from
- Sheree (9/5): Beautiful park! Great facilities - Location Small bathroom
- Archie (8/5): Very good -
- Johny (10/5): Exceptional - Nice Location and Cute setup!
- Vidrock (9/5): North Eastern Victoria Serenity - Nice facility in a beautiful location. Road at front should be sealed as very dusty.
- ben (10/5): - Enjoy the quietness of the park and area.
The only thing I would say is the bathroom could be a bit bigger, it's a bit of a squeeze of you are a bigger person.
Overall rather impress would go back again
- Alison (8/5): Very good - We stayed in a small basic cabin which was adequate for our stay, it was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Easy walk to the local hotel for dinner, nice location along the river. Dee in reception very helpful. Would have been nice to have a place to sit outside the cabin.
Bedrooms very small.
- Craig (8/5): Very good - Good value, clean & surprisingly roomy. Can be prone to being noisy though when neighbours very close by bang their car doors repeated when checking in at night & generally thump around during the day
- Kim (10/5): Exceptional - Location excellent. A comfortable stay in beautiful surrounds.
