Map: Restaway, Porepunkah (-36.6939, 146.8875)

• Punkah Pantry

  The closest coffee to us, so thank goodness it's this good!

• Ringer Reef

  Absolutely stunning winery, literally walking (or stumbling) distance from your apartment. Have a glass with a view, then buy a bottle to bring back to drink by the fire. Our pick if you're after Porepunkah wineries without leaving the village.

• Porepunkah Pub

  Good pub food and a friendly vibe. Bustling local watering hole on warm days.

• Rail Trail Cafe

  Huuuuge brekky burritos, perfect for fuelling days in the saddle. Good little play area with sandpit for younger kids.

• Riff Raff

  A cafe built like a mountain cabin, Riff Raff does incredible brunch in an adorable setting. Indoor fire in cooler months and a gorgeous garden when it's warm. Try the bacon and egg roll!

• ToMaHawks

  Creative and delicious shared plates and cocktails. Special and a little pricey, but the vibe is approachable, not stuffy. Great date option.

• Gum Tree Pies

  Simply awesome pies. Our pick for an easy takeaway lunch to eat by the river. Try the chicken curry pie and finish with a caramel slice.

• Bright Brewery

  An extensive and frequently rotating roster of beers, plus river views from the deck. Great for big groups and families.

• Katsu

  The sushi is so good. Another quick takeaway lunch fave.

• Alpine Gourmet Meats

  The best choice when you want to grab something to cook on one of our BBQs.

• The Big Shops

  There is a Woolworths and an IGA in Bright. If you're staying for more than a weekend, we highly recommend Bright Food Coop, a pop-up where local organic producers sell once a week. You must order online in advance for pick-up on Thursday evening.
