About our home
Our home is located in Porepunkah, 5minutes from busy Bright. This house has been renovated and extended, with completion of a new bathroom in 2018. Our home is open, with large windows looking towards the mountains and the ovens river at our back fence. Our open fire is the heart of our home is wonderful in winter. Or enjoy the outdoor wood fire by the riverside.
Our home has one very large bedroom with new bathroom and all the features as seen in photos. We have four bedrooms, the main two bed rooms have kings, one room has a queen beds and the last has two singles.
We live right on the ovens river, which is the reason we purchased the land, 15 meters and your at our very private swimming hole, kayaks and lovely reading swing, and an outdoor shower, all with amazing views. Our home is actually 5km from Bright just off the great Alpine road, in a town called POREPUNKAH! However it is such a well kept secret most people only know about BRIGHT!
We live 30 meters from our local cafe, great coffee, specialising in Mexican food, a real gem in such a small community. We are also on the rail trail bike trail, a beautiful 5km ride into Bright. Bright is one of Victoria's premier holiday towns, amazing restaurants, cycling and gateway to ski slopes.
Our home is truly unique and the photos are best able to describe our home.
our home is 4 bedroom 2 bathroom.

Joelene 's reviews
As a host (5) 
“We have swapped Joelene's home twice now and couldn't recommend it more highly. It is perfectly located in an Alpine valley with the Ovens river running through the backyard. There is easy access to bicycle tracks, hiking, wineries, the restaurants in nearby Bright and snowfields and golf. The home is light, roomy and luxuriously appointed. It has great inside and outside entertaining areas, the beds and furniture are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything necessary for cooking. Joelene is an excellent host - always available and communicative. ”
“We loved Jolene’s home in Porepunkah! What a gorgeous property, beautiful design and presentation, great backyard with only a few steps down to the river, location is fabulous, close to the local cafe and pub. 5 star! ”
“We loved the location, an hour from Hotham ski resort. The house was beautiful with all the mod cons, warm fires, a great kitchen and a beautiful outlook from the garden onto the river. We felt so at home and had a great stay. It was our first home swap and we can thoughly recommend it. Thanks for a great holiday.”
“A perfect autumn weekend in Bright was made even better with Joelene's beautifully designed house - even better with wood fire. Communication was great and amble information left (both on the property and local suggestions). Highly recommended worth a visit.”
