Neat and tidy apartment set back off the road, with two bedrooms (1 queen and 2 single beds), a 2-seater couch and two sofa chairs, and a dining table with 4 seats. A heat pump adequately heats or cools the entire apartment, and the kitchen has 2 electric elements and a microwave. A full fridge is present, and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements. Extra bedding is provided and the doors are electronically locked, so no worries about losing your keys! Our apartment had a smart TV that connected to the free wifi, enabling access to on-demand services. A great spot to stay just down the road from Bright!

Response from Leslie on 24 Nov 2020
Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry you felt the bed was worn out. All have been replaced since we bought this place five years ago. Maybe a guest had been particularly rough on that bed but since this review is anonymous I don't know which room to check as we have not had other complaints. Feel free to contact us directly.

The property was actually really clean and had all the amenities needed. Although I found the owner a little bit nosy and also I was very disappointed in their empathy and concern when my electric blanket was faulty and burnt he cord in middle of the night . All they said was sorry what we will replace it I was actually quite scared and very traumatised from nearly burnt bent in the middle of the night. Very disappointed
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019
Response from Leslie on 18 Aug 2019
We take guest safety very seriously and were horrified that this happened. The results could have been tragic but I chose not to dwell on the “what-could-have-been” with you and instead let you know what we would do - inspect all our electric blankets for issues. We are now considering removing electric blankets from all the beds but many of our guests specifically ask for them. You actually moved one from a single bed to your bed to continue sleeping on electric warmth. What to do? Thanks for the otherwise good review.

Peaceful and enjoyable stay !!!
The rooms are specious and absolutely neat and clean. All the fittings were almost new and we found all of them spotless. It is situated 7 km before the Bright town-centre, therefore you should plan ahead of time of what you need. Kids friendly environment and our boys and girls enjoyed the view; especially the backside river walk and the games room. Excellent Wifi connection.

Response from Leslie on 26 May 2017
Sorry you didn't like the bed and pillows. Your review is anonymous so I don't know which unit you were in. There are an assortment of pillow types on the beds and spares in the closets so usually guests can find something they like. We've replaced half the beds this year and have had feedback from 'they are great' to 'they are too firm.'

relaxing weekend
This is a great place to relax in, set back from the main road that isn't busy at night in any case. The river is out the back and the water wasn't that cold for a swim either. Leslie at reception was friendly and welcoming. The town of Porepunkah is small but full of friendly people, the pub and cafes were handy, I wish the pizza place didn't close at 7.30pm though. One other good thing about the location is that it's not far from the Mt Buffalo turnoff, did some great hikes there.

We notify guests when we find things left behind. Sometimes we catch them when they are still in the area and they retrieve them; otherwise we offer to post or donate to the local hospital op shop.

Suited our needs
Comfortable stay and in a good area for our needs while we visited family and friends who were holidaying at caravan parks in Porpunkah. The room was very soundproof as there was a family staying in the room next door with young children and we didn't hear them at all. The staff were helpful and the motel had many ammenities which we would have used if our stay was longer.

Accessibility, Rest and Relaxation
We felt that the accommodation gave us what we needed. Opportunity for rest, relaxation, country air and beauty. The facilities were great, homely and in a location that gave us easy access to all towns. Len picked us up from our hotel and took us on a trike ride. We tied this in with the Segway rides. We were local to a great swimming hole in the river where we swam, read and relaxed under the shade of the willow trees. Lovely shops, cafes and meals close by.
