Located on the Ovens River and with Mount Buffalo as its backdrop, Porepunkah is the ideal family holiday location. In summer, take your children down to the Ovens River for a swim and a picnic, or kick back and enjoy a meal at the recently refurbished Porepunkah Pub or Rail Trail Cafe. Or enjoy a ride or walk along the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, or head to nearby Feathertop or Ringer Reef wineries to sample their fine wines.

Mount Buffalo is a short drive from Porepunkah, with the trip half the experience. In the warmer months, enjoy wildlife watching and crystal clear waterfalls - you may even find a secret spot to take a dip. Enjoy a picnic lunch at one of the many picturesque lookouts before enjoying a hike.

In Winter, Buffalo is the much loved family snow mountain with a great, gentle toboggan and ski run perfect for the littlies or beginners.
