Summary: We are returning after our stay at Riverbend Homestead Horse and Farmstay, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the upper Ovens Valley, just 5 minutes from Bright, this large, spacious Australian homestead offers a perfect blend of comfort and adventure.The homestead is surrounded by a 150-acre working farm and alpine forests, providing a true wilderness experience. The beautiful Ovens River runs along the property, offering a secluded and serene environment. The open-plan living area, with its hardwood flooring and large dining table, was perfect for our group. The sleeping arrangements were excellent, with three double bedrooms and a bunkroom that comfortably accommodated our group of 11. The bedrooms were cozy, with heaters and fans, and all bedding was provided. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor activities. The kids loved feeding the chickens and sheep, and playing in the games room. The large wrap-around deck with a gas BBQ was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stunning views of Mt Feathertop.Overall, Riverbend Homestead Horse and Farmstay provided a perfect getaway for our family and friends. The combination of a comfortable homestead, beautiful surroundings, and a variety of activities made our stay truly special. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable holiday experience.
