River front retreat in a quiet court only walking distance from cafes and Pub

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.
