We enjoyed our stay at Orange. The property was clean & had everything we needed. Location was great, outside of town to be peaceful but close enough to get everywhere easily. It was also close to a few of the wineries, which was a bonus. Directions to the property were accurate and made it easy to find.

An exquisite hundred year old cottage with the owners having retained the authenticity of its age and yet adopted comfortable modern amenities to make this a very happy place to stay. Well positioned in relation to both wineries and the town - would highly recommend Melaleuca Farm stay.

A wonderful country cottage getaway. Peaceful, beautifully presented, and the perfect place to relax and unwind. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and full of charm, with comfortable beds and everything needed for a comfortable stay. The surroundings were tranquil, making it easy to switch off and enjoy the countryside. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet escape - we’d happily stay again.

Loved the bird feeders, got to see a range of local birds. Thank you for the use of the car charger, a real bonus.
