A beautifully small unit with all conveniences. Hosts included little luxuries and good advice for visiting Orange. A very comfortable king sized bed and a large ensuite with spa.Kitchen is well equipped with all basics. We appreciated the starter packs of bread, milk and eggs. We recommend this property. Close to town (but not really walking distance), and easy access to walking trails and wineries. Thank you Simon and Majella.

We loved the little welcome touches - fresh fruit, milk and eggs, complimentary wine, a range of teas and the coffee machine. The bed was super comfy and the two seater lounge was perfect. Loved the bird feeders, got to see a range of local birds. Thank you for the use of the car charger, a real bonus.

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.

We had a beautiful long weekend in this cottage, enjoying the countryside vibe with the birds breakfasting with us every morning. We enjoyed all the extra touches at the cottage, including the farm eggs, bread, wine and chocolates. Everything we needed to enjoy a little getaway including a bbq. Located close to town but felt very restful and relaxed. Thanks to our hosts for thinking of everything we might possibly want or need…
