Relax and reflect. perfect!

Peaceful and private well appointed cottage with everything you need. Sit back on the verandah, soak in the sunset and slow pace of the world go by. Perfect place to get away while still close enough to enjoy Orange and it's beautiful surrounds.

Perfect place for some serenity

We stayed for 4 days over Easter and had the most amazing break. The cottage is immaculate. Everything is perfect and there is everything you could need. But the best thing is not what is there it’s what is not…..no mobile phone coverage, no internet just peace and quiet!

Peace and serenity

A wonderfully peaceful part of the world. If you are looking for serenity to get away to the country, you’ve found it here. With an abundance of bird life, cute rabbits and lovely hosts, this place is a winner. Views out every window, you can enjoy local food and wine (from one of the many wineries just up the road) on the covered verandah will watching the sun set behind the trees. Bliss.

Peaceful country retreat

Charming, modern cottage equipped to the highest standards. Private location surrounded by wildlife and rolling hills. Close enough to Orange to experience all the region has to offer yet far away enough to feel like miles from the hustle and bustle of city life. Very relaxing and we were sorry to leave.

Gorgeous retreat

My husband and I stayed at Heatherlea cottage for our seventh wedding anniversary, during Orange’s annual wine festival. The cottage is situated on a stunning country property just outside Orange’s town center and a short drive to the surrounding wineries. This newly built gem has had a lot of thought and attention to detail put into making it a beautiful, comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Sitting out on the deck, overlooking the tranquil countryside with a bottle of Oranges finest, could life be any better? We loved our stay here and could not recommend it highly enough. We will be back.
