Excellent for a large family stay

This house was excellent for our adult family as a base to do things in Orange. We were there over three very wet cold days in July. The drive into town wasn't a problem, having plenty of drivers. Spacious, it was also warm and cosy on such a cold, wet weekend. The house is very well kept, exceptionally clean, with everything in order. Well laid out, it has four spacious bedrooms away from the living area. These gave our three university student kids some individual privacy, and had cosy comfortable beds, with plenty of extra blankets if needed. The kitchen was very well supplied with crockery and utensils, so we were able to have local friends for a brunch one morning. A box of clean toys kept small children occupied. We will happily return for another (hopefully sunnier!) weekend in Orange.
