About this property

River Retreat: 3 BR, 1 BA House in Buckland, Sleeps 8

The laid-back holiday you've been dreaming of awaits in this picture-perfect 3 bedroom property nestled footsteps from the Buckland River and Sinclairs, one of the best swimming holes in the area. You will love relaxing in the stylish outdoor or indoor living spaces as you entertain guests and admire gorgeous views over the surrounding area, including Mt Buffalo. Open living space with a central slow-combustion fireplace, ceiling fans and air-conditioning means year-round comfort. The kitchen is modern, stylish and sure to make holiday cooking for a family easy. Follow the sounds of the water and wander through the lush garden to the rear gate and the Buckland river beyond. The pebbled firepit is perfect for roasting marshmallows or enjoying a wine. The forest birds by day and the frogs by night are the soundtrack to your tranquil getaway, yet this quiet cul-de-sac location is only 13 minutes from Bright and 8 minutes from Porepunkah.

This property is managed on behalf of the owner by Bright Holidays (part of the Dickens Real Estate group).

Really pleasant stay
This well appointed property gave off a real cosy cottage style appeal. He river behind the property makes it unique. Definitely one to revisit in the summer. Only suggestion is to consider upgrading the internet connection. It would be a real bonus when visiting with small kids or being able to do some work while away.

neighbours from hell
Neighbours partied till 3am.all the neighbourhood dogs use the back yard as a toilet and were constantly running around,to the point we stayed indoors.The overall state and cleanliness of the house was pretty good except for the mould smell coming from the bathroom.We had to make sure the door was closed at all times and the window left open.The house is situated in a lovely position but unfortunately our stay was ruined by the above mentioned.

Perfect location
We really love the property especially the outdoors.there is plenty to do in outdoor area and inside the living area.Few things which need to be look upon.First one is, there is only one toilet and shower and they both are in same room which makes it hard for large group lime ours.Shower was leaking and the water was coming into the carpet which I think can be fixed.Also they need to supply more dishes in the kitchen as our large group of 8 had to wash and reuse all the time..Buy instead of all these issues, we enjoyed our stay.Would love to come back but in a smaller group.
