Only disappointment was being unable to access river directly as path overgrown. Also unable to get TV in kitchen/family room area working. Would be good to have instruction manuals for streaming on TV.Overall a very pleasant stay in a great location. Would definitely come again.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: John's River Retreat was a great place to stay for our family. Our 2 kelpie dogs also loved staying at the house. The house is set back from the main highway surrounded by trees which gives it the real country feel.Only concern we had was the house was cold. The coonara woodfire heater was great at night but it didn't heat up the whole house. The bedrooms were freezing. We couldn't get the split system to heat to a required temperature.In saying that we would highly recommend the house to anyone looking for a get away in the country.

Summary: John’s River Retreat, located just outside Bright, was our chosen destination for our annual five-day winter family get-together. The house, with its three bedrooms that comfortably sleep five, boasts a unique layout with bedrooms at each end. It also features two living areas and two TVs, allowing for diverse entertainment options. The house’s pet-friendly policy and enclosed garden were key factors in our decision. (Note: The presence of ‘free-range’ chickens in the neighbouring property requires dogs to be leashed beyond the garden. ) Our stay at John’s River Retreat was a good experience that met our needs, despite a few minor issues that needed attention. John’s River Retreat is situated between Porepunka and Bright, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. The house is situated down a quiet lane but is shared with about eight other houses; we had assumed ‘Retreat’ meant more isolated. Also, the river access is to the left or right of the property but not directly in front of the house. Upon arrival, you’ll need to collect the keys in Bright at/after 15:00. (The house managing agents are in Bright—there is no key box at the house. Check-in is after 15:00, and out is before 10 am in Bright—we found this onerous, and unlike any other rental we’d used prior.) This means that in winter, the house may be chilly and require heating as soon as you arrive after 15:00. We had more to say but that exceeds the text box word count!
