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…

Highly recommend.

Tranquil situation surrounded by glorious countryside.Close to town for access to wonderful eating opportunities at Orange.
Generous host and very comfortable cottage.
Melaleuca Cottage was a cozy place to spend a few days. Many thoughtful and generous touches added to the experience. The furnishings were extremely comfortable. Birds feeding around the cottage enhanced the relaxed feel.
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.
Peaceful luxury with lots of native birds to entertain us. Close to downtown and it’s restaurants.

We really enjoyed this property. The little house is very well set up and equipped, especially the kitchen. Plenty of choice of bed coverings and pillows. Good heating/cooling. Great recommendations on dining in the Orange area. Recommended!
This is a delightful property away from the hustle and bustle of town. Everything you are likely to need was provided, including their own honey and eggs
The owners have sheep and alpacas that you can be involved with if you wish.
I cannot speak highly enough of this property and the friendliness of Simon
We enjoyed our relaxing stay at Melaleuca Cottage. It was a home from home. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything in it you could possibly need and more. We loved sitting on the sunny verandah watching the birds and ducks wandering the garden.
Thank you Magella and Simon

Simon and Majella think of all the little things. Comfortable and cosy in a relaxing space.
Ticks all boxes. Love and attention gone in to making this somewhere special to stay. King size very comfy bed to give great sleeps. Hosts there if anything is needed but gives you all ur privacy. Close to many attractions to enjoy and shops n cafes in Orange. Highly recommend
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.
Beautifully converted old farm building. All the comforts you could want with a large spa bath to top it off. Our hosts were helpful, friendly and easy to contact when required. Lovely spot to watch the local birds. Close to town but even closer to the wineries and Mount Canobolas
Everything was as advertised and much more! Ideal for a couple of (older) people! Everything needed was in the Cottage ! Heated floor in the bathroom, everything you need in the kitchen including a great coffee machine including fresh coffee beans even fresh milk, Bed very confortable with plenty of blankets if need ! Greatly recommended and the host Simon was wonderful and we also were called to feed the lamas and horse ! Fabulous place to recommend !
