At the heart of Northeast Victoria's alpine country, Buffalo Motel and Country Retreat is set on 4 acres of pristine gardens.
Surrounded by natural beauty - from the rugged snow capped peaks of the nearby mountains to the refined elegance of the many vineyards and restaurants.
Activities and relaxation - across the road from the famous Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail, outdoor activities abound including skiing, fishing, bush walking and golf, but with the comfort of a warming log fire to return to.
Affordable art deco accommodation with modern comforts - each tastefully reappointed room has a traditional country feel with splashes of mahogany, large windows and a feeling of seclusion due to the spacious surrounds.
Conference, business retreat, weddings, celebrations or that long earned weekend away - Buffalo Motel and Country Retreat will satisfy all, leaving you yearning to return to your alpine hideaway.
Enjoyment without the exorbitant price tag.
"The Buffalo Motel and Country Retreat is a rejuvenated destination with echoes of the classic 1950's motels. Set in Porepunkah at the foot of Mount Buffalo, it's like standing in a movie set with stone clad buildings and the Ovens river flowing at the foot of the extensive gardens. Inside, the contemporary rooms are fitted with new bathrooms, fine linen and air conditioning." |

We are pleased to advise that our building and room refurbishment program is well advanced.
Some of the major works completed to date are:
- the construction of an extensive open deck last year which has been a big hit with our guests
- the fitting-out of 15 of our rooms with brand new posturepedic queen beds
- the installation of soft downlights, quality soft furnishings and inverter air-condition units to our rooms, and
- the fitting-out of our dining room and recreation room with new furniture and carpets.
The above improvements have made our rooms very comfortable and attractive. It is pleasing that some of our guests have come back to stay with us more frequently over recent months. Many have re-booked for the next year's events when they leave us at the end of their visit.
