Host was very friendly. Kids loved the little possum sleeping on the verandah. Was lovely to be in a quiet area near the river and ringer reef winery. Very warm and cozy (we stayed in August) with everything we needed.

Wendt Family

The property and our hosts were fabulous. They thought of everything and were always happy to help. The location was also great - close to everything and right on the Ovens River. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Autumn Getaway

In a delightful garden setting the log cabin was spacious and beautifully appointed. The kitchen was well equipped for self catering and the bike trail almost at our front door! Everthing was perfect for our three night stay and we could happily stay longer.

Beautiful Lodge in a peaceful spot

It was a wonderful wooden log cabin in a very peaceful location. Not far from the town of bright and the mountains around. Clean and tidy space with a wonderful garden around. The hosts were lovely and helpful.

Home away from Home

This was a well organized holiday place. The lodge was beautiful. The hosts were accomodating and available but non-intrusive. Even came and gave us a torch light when a storm cut power. Would recommend this holiday accommodation and will be returning with our next overseas visitors.The only one downside was the BBQ not being cleaned very well.

Not quite what you expect

Very clean cabin located in a central area with close access to bright and surrounds, was a great central point.After booking this cabin from the ad we were expecting more space and isolation than what we saw, the cabin is 20 meters away from the hosts property and we could hear the roadworks on the highway and someone's party one night inside the cabin. When we arrived the cabin was freezing cold, Claudia had turned on the aircon but it was an icebox inside, we then discovered you have to pay an additional fee for any firewood if it is not in winter season. That night was -1.. It was very clean and tidy inside. The TVs in the bedroom also cannot show hd channels so you can hear sounds but can't see anything. We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed with it after the price paid to stay and having to pay extra to keep warm ect.

5 stars all round

What a magic experience it was to stay in such a unique place! There is no other way to stay in the Bright vic high country than in a log cabin. The place was beautiful inside and out. What I loved the most was how meticulously clean and tidy the house was it just smelled so fresh and inviting. They really have thought of everything you could possibly need. Thank you for letting us stay and we will be back for sure!

Clean and wonderful experience. The owner thought about everything in the tiny details

It was great staying in the lodge. Outside was 33 degrees but inside it was very comfortable and cool. Every detail was thought of and owners were friendly and did not intervene. The property is very clean and outside was maintained and wonderful with access to river it was amazing visit.

4/10 Poor

A few issues

We decided not to stay at the property after arriving and spending an hour looking around. There were a number of reasons we decided to leave. The weather during our stay was oppressively hot and the cabin was as a result really uncomfortable. There was an airconditioner in the living room that reduced the temperature by a few degrees in there but all the fans in the bedrooms did was push hot air around. It was really uncomfortable inside. Outside there was some kind of really unpleasant smell, I'm not sure if it was coming from the river or a rotting compost pile in the garden. Either way the smell made sitting outside on the balcony or in the garden very unappealing. The smell made me feel nauseous. The bed linen was not what I'd expect from a property with such good reviews, perhaps we were just unlucky on this occasion but the king bed had small black/grey stains on the sheets and small rips and holes in the fitted sheet. Most of all we were disappointed to find that the cabin is located in the back garden of the owners property. The advertisement of the property describes the cabin as being situated on 2 acres of picturesque gardens. While it may be on 2 acres, the problem is the 2 acres is shared by the cabin and the owner's house. A pertinent detail which is left out of the description. We are quite private people and felt the description was deceptive. We would never have booked the property had we known it was on the same site as the owner's home and sharing the "2 acres of picturesque garden." Details like this really need to be disclosed to potential clients.

It is unfortunate your expectations were not met. The day you arrived was 34 degrees which is a fairly typical Australian Summers day. Humidity was high over much of Australia though, due to a cyclone in W.A. which possibly made it feel worse for you. We do open the Log Cabin up to air during each change over, but the cabin has incredible insulation characteristics and effortlessly handles temperature extremes. With A/C and the doors and double glazed windows closed, it could have been any temperature you desired inside within hours. We are unsure of the cause of a smell outside. There was a fly trap some 20 meters away. Possibly the breeze carried a smell. If it had been brought to our attention, we would have investigated this. All linen was only recently replaced, so something is amiss there. It does sound like an error was made. If so, we do apologise. The Lodge is on many web sites and is listed as ‘Hosted Accommodation’. On Stayz, our listing stated we are winners of awards in the " Hosted Accommodation" category and multiple Stayz reviews refer to ‘the Hosts’. I assure you it has never been our intent to deceive. We have made updates to further clarify this, in the hope of preventing a misunderstanding like yours.

The perfect Log Cabin escape

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tewksbury Lodge, Porepunkah. Our Log Cabin was absolutely beautiful, both in its surroundings and its pristine cleanliness. The beds were beautifully made and super comfy and everything we needed was there. We hope to go back soon.
