About us:
Dave and Melany Dalbosco
A true local at heart, Dave grew up right here in Porepunkah. Upon completion of his secondary education, he caught the travel bug, setting off to see the world, gaining experience, life skills and infinite sights. Dave also added to his formal education with a trade background and meticulous skills in the construction industry.
Melany originally hails from Geelong, where she grew up and completed her education. She too caught the travel bug exploring parts of Australia, where she was able to refine her considerable hospitality skills working across regional parts of Victoria, including Mt Hotham and also Western Australia, before studying and qualifying as a remedial massage therapist in 2004.
With a strong desire to return to his roots, Dave finally returned to his hometown of Porepunkah in 2016 with his wife Melany and their young family (including Monty their fur baby), ready for a new chapter, where they have found themselves as custodians of the picturesque Buckland Studios, with what they see as a true blessing to live, work and share with you the beauty that is the Buckland Valley.

Dave and Melany’s days are filled keeping the Buckland Studios maintained and looking their very best for their guests. Being natural entertainers, they enjoy adding those special touches to ensure their guests feel pampered during their stay.
Firmly established in the local community, both have extensive knowledge of the local area as well as the Alpine Region. We encourage you to ask their advice about places to visit, things to do and see, cafes, restaurants, wineries and local experiences. You’ll also be pleased to know that Melany also operates Revive Bright, and offers a range of remedial and relaxation massage treatments.
