During winter months, the renowned ski resorts of Falls Creek, Mount Hotham, and Mount Buffalo are within comfortable driving distance, while the warmer seasons transform the region into a haven for bushwalking, mountain biking, and nature photography. The area is also celebrated for its autumn colors, when the European trees of the region create a spectacular display of reds, oranges, and golds. What truly sets Restaway Holiday Units apart, as reflected in its exceptional 9.3 rating, is the thoughtful combination of comfortable accommodations, attentive service, and immersion in the natural beauty of alpine Australia. The units themselves are designed to provide a welcoming retreat after days spent exploring the mountains, with clean, well-maintained spaces that honor the stunning surroundings. Guests consistently praise the property’s value proposition, finding the perfect balance between affordability and quality that can be rare in popular tourist destinations.

With the picturesque Ovens Valley as its backdrop and easy access to wineries, gourmet food producers, and seasonal festivals in nearby townships, Restaway Holiday Units embodies the relaxed yet invigorating spirit of Australia’s alpine region. Whether visitors are seeking snowy adventures, autumn color tours, summer hikes, or spring wildflower experiences, these holiday units provide the comfortable, highly-rated accommodations that make exploring Porepunkah and the broader Alpine region a truly memorable experience.

Nice and central to Bright and Myrtleford. Surrounded by beautiful views. Lovely clean unit and the hosts are very friendly, put us at ease and even allowed us a late checkout as our baby was still sleeping.

fabulous view from the back bedroom and rear table down to the river, more spacious living and main bedroom that expected, very clean and modern and well equipped. large swimming pool was a bonus.

What could be improved: short drive to Porepunkah along the main road, not in the town itself but a very short drive

Well appointed rooms which were clean and inviting. enough kitchen ware to cook and a great fridge for snacks and groceries. The games room is basic but provided opportunity to play table tennis and darts as a family, an also showing our girls (10 & 12) some old school NES. we also enjoyed an evening around the fire pit.

What could be improved: while I respect the owners choice to make the grounds smoke free and described a "smoking area" behind the laundry, this was a cramped uneven area with no provision of a receptacle for butts. Better to just say no smoking.

Gary's motel is one of the best we have stayed at until now. It's got all the needed facilities, it is clean and family friendly. Also, the location is just a 5 mins drive away from Bright.
