This character-filled getaway has been revived from it's former life as croquet clubrooms, embracing the lovely vintage features, the decor is open and light. With a 'shabby chic' quality, the style is relaxed while never compromising on comfort. 

The open living space is bright and airy, making the most of the views across the bush valley and swaying gum trees where sunsets can be simply magical. A cushion-filled daybed, vintage arm chairs and plenty of holiday reading complete this retreat-like space and may make it hard to leave. Enjoy your own music through the wireless speaker and if you do need to connect with the world, free Wi-Fi is available for your use. 

A recent addition to the Orchard Cottage is two side-by-side outdoor baths. This private space surrounded in subtropical gardens and overlooking the native bush is the ultimate in relaxation. Wind down with a hot soak and some star gazing at the end of your day, or escape the heat of summer with a cool soak. They are exclusively yours to enjoy.

Complimentary organic tea and locally roasted coffee, both filter and espresso options are provided. We also recommend adding a basket of hand-picked local provisions when you book your escape (see below for details). The kitchenette is furnished with a small fridge and equipment for preparing delicious light meals, including some pantry basics (oil, seasoning, butter, milk etc.). Enjoy your home cooking at the lovely Kauri dining table or on the expansive verandah, which is almost always sheltered from hot summer sun or a breeze on cooler days.
