We loved our stay at Orford Escape. The location was ideal for jumping on our bikes and strolling to the beach. The facilities were perfect for our family. Secure and fun backyard for our kids to play in, the house was clean and had all the things required for a week long stay.
Second time staying here - neat little place with a good dog yard and the added bonus of an 8-ball table! Very convenient location and easy check in etc. Thanks Rob, see you again sometime!
We had a great stay. Location was good for walks, the park, beach and the stores.We were disappointed there was no WiFi as listed but life went on.Plenty of room for 3 teens, a mum and ourpuppy
Very clean, comfortable accommodation. Short walking distance to Millingtons Beach, park, shop and cafes. Eight ball table is an added bonus and great fun. Private backyard. Rob communicated all relevant details promptly.
Property was as described and lovely place to stay for the weekend. Rob is a great host.

Fantastic family getaway
We enjoyed four nights with a 6yo and 2yo during the school holidays. It was toasty warm thanks to the wood heater on the rainy days, and so close to playgrounds and the beach when the sun came out! Enclosed yard was a bonus, along with the board games.
True relaxing shack getaway for all the family. Everything you need and plenty to keep you occupied. Beautiful polished boards and nice new kitchen and bathroom but it doesn’t loose its feel of the era it belongs too. Great for the dog who loved the yard and the outdoor areas. Also a very tasty nectarine tree in the garden. Would stay again.
Lovely, clean place, recent renos, very sunny with lovely places to sit inside and out in all weather. It’s a quiet street and an easy walk to the beach or cafés. Great yard for the dog. Looking forward to staying again, thanks Rob!
Rob’s house was just as described, very comfortable & homely! He was also very easy to get a hold of if we needed anything.
Beautiful place to stay to catch up with my family & so close to the beach ☺️
Comfy beds, nice to be able to bring dog. close to beach, park, shops. Nice sized backyard. I was expecting Wi-Fi at property. But overall good house for a family holiday.
Excellent location with great facilities, great service

Perfect Beach House!
Beautifully maintained and renovated beach house. Everything we needed as a family of 5 to relax and enjoy Orford. Walking distance to beach, river and shops. House was spotlessly clean and the new kitchen Reno was fantastic. Loved lying out on the grass, we utilised the under cover BBQ area to play cards and had many games of table tennis. Thanks to Rob for providing the perfect house for our trip to Orford!
