It was a beautiful spot beside the river. Cabin was comfortable and covered our needs adequately. Wasnt happy at being contacted by the park after completing (and paying) our booking online advising we had to pay extra as we were travelling with a small dog. We booked the dog friendly cabin. We stated we were two adults and one dog. Booked and paid - then had to pay more. Seems unfair and no point in booking online for dog friendly accommodation.

Awful! The Receptionist was so rude, unhelpful, and unfriendly. The worst customer service that I have ever experienced. The gas for the stove and oven were both not working properly. No wifi connection during our entire stay. I would not recommend this place.

G'Day Emily, Thank you for taking the time to send us your thoughts. We were unaware of the problem with your stove so thankyou for bringing it to our attention. The wifi was not a strong signal but we are in the process of upgrading the boosters. Kind regards, Discovery Parks Mount Buffalo

Glamping tent was superb & ideally located along the river. Perhaps a small milk in the fridge, and matches to light the candle would make it perfect?

Hi Mick, Thank you for your lovely review! Upon arrival we ask guest's if they like milk as we give out a fresh 1 liter bottle to our Glampers. No lighter needing for those candles they may look real but are battery operated. We hope to see you again in the future & our happy staff are always happy to help out.

Adequate
Adequate for the price and served its purpose but would not return. Happy to pay a bit more and have everything in order . Opened two kitchen cupboards which promptly made contact with floor as bottom hinges not secured to cupboards. Wanted to flip some eggs but no utensil . Not the end of the world but it did say all kitchen / cooking gear supplied and I’m sure someone has a check list to tick off before next guests arrive . Pet friendly = yapping dogs so will stick to “ no pets” accommodation next time .... not the parks fault tho !

Sure is a lot cheaper than staying on the mountain! And when you stay here you have the option of going to Falls, Hotham or Buffalo instead of being committed to just the one. Hope to see you again soon.

Clean and comfy accommodation in a great location
Stayed in a deluxe cabin that could accommodate five people in two rooms. Has an ensuite bathroom and an open plan kitchen fully equipped with crockery and utensils including an oven, microwave oven, four plates gas stove, kettle, etc. Double bed in master bedroom has electric blankets. Linen and soap provided. Living room has flat screen TV and DVD player, and split system air conditioning unit. Very impressed with the cleanliness and tidiness of the place. Simply a modern hotel but in a caravan park setting. Love the hot showers.

Porepunkah Bridge Caravan Park still a Great Place
This is our second time there and now with new owners it remains a fantastic place to stay, close to the river a short walk into Porepunkah and 5 min from Bright a great place to base yourself and explore .We mostly spent our time mountain bike riding around the many trails that area and kayaking in the river
