Beautiful place with beautiful local artwork. The cabin was beautiful- a place you immediately want to call home. The fresh herbs and spinach left by Sally was one of my favourite touches.The outdoor bath was lovely too. Wildlife. Aplenty The location was about 40 minutes away from Orange as leaving the property took ten minutes because of the dirt road. The drive in looks scary as it's off road but you get used to it just keep in mind.

It was exceptional from every point of view. We spent wonderful 3 days and nights. A great base to explore the nearby Mount Nangar National Park and limestone caves.Very generous host - we have just used the last herbs that Sally had left in a glass of water in the House, along with other goodies. We would definitively stay again.

Completely serene, from enjoying the red wine in front of the fire, to the outside bath under the stars, the morning hello from the kangaroos to the stroll into the surrounding forest.

Fantastic farm stay

We had the most amazing time, the place was like a balm to bustling city living. Our host Sally was incredible, with extra activities like feeding chickens and collecting eggs. The night star gazing was fantastic! Thanks for having us Sally, hope to return 😊

A true country escape

This property is very much a bush retreat. Expect wildlife, wonderful views and proper country roads. It was great to be able to walk the farm with the kids. Close enough to places like Orange too for day trips.

We had a wonderful two nights - soo relaxing and the bath was amazing- some bathed under the stars - others in the evening- it was magical - we had a lovely outdoor fire - the house was toasty and we really appreciated the yummy treats Sally left us.

Wow factor plus

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything from the outdoor fire pit and the indoor fireplace to the outdoor bath! An incredible experience overall. Stargazing while soaking in the tub was very special. Sally was a perfect host and provided everything we needed to make this a memorable stay. The gift basket was a very special touch. The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy. We’ll definitely be back.

Blissful Peace and tranquility in nature

We had a wonderful stay at Sally’s cottage. It was so private, peaceful (we don’t count the birds and occasional sheep) and had everything we could have asked for. Sunrise on the front porch with a coffee, kangaroos and birds, to sunset and the stars and satellites in the amazing outdoor bath.We got to experience the farm and watch the shearing too! Sally is a fabulous host and left us with gifts and herbs and tomatoes from her garden! And the beautiful artwork on the walls from local artists that you can also purchase is a wonderful touch of supporting local.We will be recommending this escape from the world with our friends and family.

The property was comfortable however the grounds around the property including path to clothes line and the bath poorly maintained with very long grass restricting access and fear that snakes may be around close to the verandah.

Great Location, Fantastic Host

Our stay surpassed our expectations, it offered an excellent opportunity to relax and reset. The property's strong points were: -The host is fantastic and enthusiastic, responds quickly and goes above and beyond for your stay. -The location is well secluded, backing onto a large nature reserve, however not too far away from larger population centres. -The cottage is well equipped for longer stays and can cater to a wide range of ages with various activities available in and around the cottage. -The property is a working farm and we were shown an insight into their hard work and progress, something that really demonstrates the friendliness and hospitality of the host. Overall, our experience was very memorable and tranquil, we hope to return soon.

Beautiful location, people and farm

We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and rural location of the Rockies. Sally is thoughtful, kind and clear in her communication. We loved riding bikes, walking, exploring and doing a lot of not much with a beautiful view. The fire heats the whole house and there a couple of heaters if a boost is needed. There is a forrest conservation area behind the property that was wild and lush. It was helpful to have a 4wd in the wet. Thanks so much Sally, Jono and Isabelle!

Girls camp 24

It was a great little cabin. A quiet getaway. We did find that the main rubbish bin was full when we arrive and not much space for our general rubbish. The BBQ was dirty and been well used. We had no power all day Saturday which was no fault to the owners of the place but did effect us more then we thought it would. Especially when we still payed full price. Otherwise it was nice and owners are lovely.

Quiet and distant

We've really enjoyed our stay. We like the rustic feel, less fancy and more touched with nature. It was noticeable that Sally the host had put the extra efforts particularly with fresh veggies & herbs from the garden as well as a bottle of red and white (what a spoil!) - these little things show the level of care and makes a difference.During our stay Sally guided us through the farm, we saw the veggie patch, the chooks, dogs, horse, sheep, rams and the kids got to climb up the machinery (with permission of course!). We were also able to walk around to the conservation area and see kangaroos and different birds and lizards, some were making very special sounds, and even a skeleton of one of them.The unit is distant from everything and is very peaceful and you get very stary nights. The outdoor bathtub is fun on a warm afternoon!The unit has also noticeable arts held in it which you could purchase if you want, the paining is by a local artist and to an unprofessional eye like mine its looking great.There was also a book with photos of local farmers which we found extremely interesting - it was put together by a local lady who got affected by recent events (floods etc) and the book is showing great photos and helps putting faces to the events you hear about. Great added value to the experience.Only one thing we think could be better - its the light in the unit; even though the unit is old, some change of light bulbs could make it feel much brighter.

We had a truly wonderful getaway, peaceful, relaxing, and exactly what we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and Sally was an exceptional host.She kindly provided fresh vegetables and herbs for us, which was a lovely touch, and there were plenty of games to keep the kids entertained. The highlight of our trip was the campfire, spending quality time together as a family, away from the city and our devices, while enjoying nature and going for walks.It was a memorable experience, and we’re very grateful for the hospitality.We will be back

We absolutely loved The Rockies. So peaceful, tranquil, and perfect for a family getaway. We were able to explore the property, collect firewood, see the animals and native wildlife, and enjoy a cozy dinner by the fire. The host was so friendly and easy to communicate with. We’d love to come back again!
