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.
We had the perfect relaxing long weekend. It was so quiet and calm. We enjoyed a visit from the cows and the Galahs in the mornings. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Carmel was super accommodating, left us some delicious eggs.
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!
The cottage was just about perfect. Plenty of room and located in a peaceful setting surrounded by beautiful countryside. We loved listening to the birds.
Thank you Carmel.
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.
Beautiful modern country cottage set on 200 acres. All the comforts of home. No internet or mobile reception but you can get that a short drive down the road.
The Heatherlea Cottage was absolutely gorgeous, not only was the cottage was very modern and clean but the isolated quiet location was peaceful and breath taking. Carmel and Ian were the perfect hostess. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A lovely cottage located between Orange and Canowindra. Very private, very comfortable and immaculate in cleanliness and presentation. Surrounded by rolling hills, a great place for a quiet getaway.
Perfect little cottage to relax for the weekend. I was greeted with 2 fresh farm eggs, toast, juice, milk, butter and a lovely bottle of wine. I could not ask for anything better. Thanks so much xx 0
A lovely cottage on a rural property just 20 minutes drive from Orange city. The cottage was very well presented, with beautiful inclusions. Luxury towels & linen. Owners very friendly & welcoming. A lovely place to stop and relax for a while & enjoy some of the great wine & food around Orange and region.

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.
