A lovely property in a very quiet location. We stayed here last year too and since then, plantation shutters have been added to all rooms. The master suite is huge and has a lovely bathroom. The room with the fireplace is very cosy and we used it a lot as it was very cold and raining during our stay. In warm weather there is a lovely verandah in the gardens. We noticed it wasn’t quite as clean as the last time we stayed but nothing we couldn’t fix ourselves. The house is very dark and none of the lighting, except the bathrooms, seems to be sufficient, especially on dark and dreary days. But all in all, it’s a lovely place to stay

Quiet rural retreat
Bendalong is a 10-min drive from Orange and is a lovely tranquil property. Our young family enjoyed games, walks and being woken up to the birdlife. Would have been nice to have the external areas a little cleaner but other than that, we couldn't fault it.

We loved our stay at Bendalong - Rural Retreat. The property is beautifully presented, we were welcomed with calm music and a lovely lit home. The little goodie basket was definitely a bonus. The home was comfortable and clean. The kids loved running around the gardens and asked if we could stay longer!
I would definitely recommend this property to a family or friends wanting to get away to Orange. We could have quite happily just hung around Bendalong as it felt like home. It is an easy 15min drive to the centre of Orange. The communication with Stuart was great as we were allowed to take some delicious lemons off the lemon tree. Thank you Bendalong, we will visit again!

My recent stay at Bendalong was nothing short of superb!
This property is located in a beautiful rural spot close to everything you need around the Orange Area, We arrived to an already heated house with music playing and a welcome box of goodies that felt like we were in our own home. This place was so well set up for what we wanted and was such good value for the money!
Surrounded by wildlife and with all the bells and whistles of a well renovated house, nothing in this home disappointed.
Thank you so much for your hospitality, we cannot wait to return and show other friends and family one of Nashdale's best kept secrets!

Great family accomodation
This house was suited in a quiet and picturesque location, not too far from the centre of Orange. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, including lovely bathroom supplies. There was plenty of space for our family of five and easy access to technology. We would highly recommend this property!
