Please note: \- Strictly no parties at this property – please. You will be evicted if this rule is broken. Where will I be? Orchard Cottage is located within the Little Forest complex, a collection of 7 cottages spread across 42 acres of grounds. Your cottage will have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. There are two other cottages as well as the Angas Carriage in immediate proximity to your cottage so please do expect to occasionally see your neighbours. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various trails throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains. Why choose Orchard Cottage? Orchard Cottage has a wonderful cozy feel to it and is a wonderful retreat to come home to after a day exploring the Southern Highlands. How is the property laid out? Orchard Cottage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way. You approach the house through beautiful gardens and enter into a compact living area and country kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, cooktop, dishwasher, microwave and a coffee machine that is compatible with Nespresso pods. Upstairs is the bedroom with queen bed and two single beds.

Please note that neither The Holidays Collection nor the owner can guarantee 100% that Wi-Fi will work, and no compensation will be payable if problematic. If Wi-Fi is important, please therefore always have a backup plan. What about outdoors? Orchard Cottage is surrounded by lawns and gardens that are open for guests to use. The house is part of a larger 40 acre property which includes bush trails for guests to explore. Please be aware that there is an unfenced dam on the property so children must be supervised at all times. Please note that the tap water in the community BBQ area is not drinkable. This water comes from the dam and is not treated, please do not drink it under any circumstances. The water in Orchard Cottage is safe to drink. Keeping warm or keeping cool? Orchard Cottage has a slow combustion fireplace downstairs and a reverse cycle air conditioner upstairs. What about sheets, towels and other supplies? High quality sheets and towels are provided at Orchard Cottage. Toilet paper, kitchen soaps, guest soaps and some other supplies are also provided, but please be prepared to top up during your stay as needed.

Apr 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A hidden oasis So close to Sydney yet a million miles from civilisation. Just sublime. The place was beautiful. The property was perfect for the kids to hike and explore. And the Shetland ponies and alpacas only sweetened the deal. We hate to leave but know that Little Forest will never leave us. ##### Joe V. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie G. Mar 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property We stayed at the Orchard cottage. The location was perfect for a relaxing weekend in the countryside. Close to small towns and major town centres. The beds were super comfy & all amenities in the cottage were as listed & in good condition. The grounds on the property are beautiful and we still had quite a lot of privacy. ##### Stephanie G. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shama R. May 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great experience Quaint little cottage. Bedroom upstairs with large queen bed, and two singles for the whole fsmoky! A lovely fireplace that kept us all nice and warm and plenty of space for the little one to explore!
