Excellent country stay just outside Orange
Great location close to Orange town and wineries, perfect for our three dogs who enjoyed roaming the property and the closeby produce markets were a wonderful bonus for gathering ingredients to cook our meals in the house and enjoy the fireplace outside after.

Borenore bliss!
Had a great time at the cottage with another family. Kids loved the trampoline and we were so close to some other friends in the area. Will definitely be back!

Christmas at Cooinda
We had a very enjoyable stay with family. Peace and quiet in the country, the kids loved walking in the paddock, running around the yard and bouncing on the trampoline. We enjoyed a drink on the front porch and dinner by the fire pit in the evening. It was a short drive to vineyards and Lake Canobolas, where we did a lovely walk around the lake. A top spot!

Wonderful farm stay
Lovely little farm house, nicely renovated and ideal for kids with huge secure fenced yard, massive trampoline and so much to explore. Around 1km up the driveway so well away from other properties, very quiet and amazing views in every direction. Beds on the soft side but comfy enough. Excellent wifi. Even a power outage one late afternoon during a storm did not dampen our spirits - agent was super helpful with power restored within a few hours, and the kids got to experience indoor bedtime camping by torchlight! Although losing power to the pump-only water was a short-term inconvenience. A few minor maintenance items and suggested conveniences have been emailed to the agent. Note that like most farms the house is on tank water which was very brown and probably needs a flush out.

Lovely Dog Friendly Farm Stay
Beautiful spot to relax with the pups and the other half. Easy drive to town. Close drive to all local wineries. Given no shops around we would have been happy to pay a little extra for some extra touches or general pantry items e.g tea/coffee/cooking oil/salt and pepper.

Weekend away
Perfect for me and a friend. So much better than a hotel
Lovely, open space to relax. Enjoyed the slow combustion fire for warmth and to sit around with a wine after busy social days. I loved waking up to the space of a farm.
Will stay there again.

Awesome Farm Stay
The property was really clean and fully equipped - heaters in every room to keep us warm throughout the night, a fireplace to provide us a cozy vibe while watching the streaming platforms on TV (Netflix, Stan, etc), really comfy beds and kitchenwares for us to wine and dine after our tiring wineries tour. And the best part was we woke up to the sound of birds chirping and the farm animals grazing outside.
