This property has everything you need for a beautiful weekend away in the magical Orange region. All the necessary mod cons mixed with a peaceful location in amongst the trees. Wonderful birdlife calls take you far away from the hustle and noise of city life. Very enjoyable stay. Would come again.

Cute cottage
Cute cottage with a beautiful garden. Loved arriving to fresh bread, a bottle of red, and homegrown honey. Delicious! Main house is next door, however far enough to ensure you have your own private escape. Definitely recommend if you’re planning a short getaway to Orange.

Charming private cottage
Simon & Majella have created a lovely cottage to escape to. Private and comfortable with lots of homely touches which add to the experience. The cottage is beautifully appointed and the perfect size for two. Close to town, wineries and local attractions. We especially enjoyed sitting on the verandah with a glass of wine overlooking the stunning garden.

Amazing Little Cottage
Me and my partner absolutely loved staying here. We went to Orange for the weekend and couldn’t have been happier with our accommodation. Super cosy, gorgeous setting with lots of native birds around, short drive to town and to wineries, ebikes available (which we had a lot of fun riding). Simon and Majella were both lovely hosts and we couldn’t be more grateful.
