Our stay over the weekend was excellent, aside from the weather but that can't be helped. We did like the woodfire and the views. We would certainly stay again, maybe a bit longer the next time. Thank you Sarah

Amazing! This was one of the best holiday / long weekend accommodations we have ever been into. The location and the views from the terrace both morning with a tea or coffee and on sun-set with an Orange wine were the highlight. The house is exactly how it is advertised, clean, spacious, high quality throughout. Great kitchen with all we needed. Beautiful night sky, bird life and a peaceful atmosphere with views to the hills and horizon only 15min to Orange. We didn't want to leave!

Great little getaway

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Alben's Cottage. It's a remote spot set in its own plot of land with beautiful views. Big kitchen and living area with views. Note that the driveway will be a bit slippy in heavy rain, but we made it in our trusty tiny hatchback :) hope to be back soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed you staying with us Kim and thanks for your lovely comments. The driveway is booked in for reconstruction in early November, so should be fine once that’s done. We look forward to you returning to Albens.

Wonderful weekend away

Beautiful tranquil farm stay, only about a 15 min drive from Orange. Close enough to enjoy good food and wine in town but far away enough to feel off grid. The firewood provisions are very generous and the house has all the modern amenities. Thank you!

Quiet retreat with amazing views

Quiet family getaway, clean and all kitchen accessories required to enjoy a reinvigorating stay in the middle of the hilly outskirt of Orange. Amazing 360 views on the valley. 5 mins drive to a well-known quality coffee / grocer's, and 10 mins to the town centre.

Thank you John, we love the proximity to Orange too but with the sense of remoteness you get with the views from the cottage and the drive along the pretty lane. Did you have the opportunity to taste the nearby Bloodwood wines?

Paradise in the country

The cottage is in a beautiful location and is completely clean and well appointed with all you need for a stay and more. You can plan to take a book but will be distracted by the lovely view all the time. The changing colours at sunset are a special highlight. As are the night sky stars. Only a short drive to town and local highlights like Mount and Lake Canabolas.

Easter in Orange

We had the best long weekend in this house. The views are amazing, watching the sunset and sunrise. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Our kids loves seeing the cows and other animals around the property too. Great garden for an Easter Egg hunt. Would come back again for a weekend. Not too far to drive to Orange, but lovely and peaceful back at the house. Thank you so much

A beautiful secluded place will all modern amenities. Animals around the property are friendly and curious. Enjoyed the star filled night sky which is almost nonexistent in cities.
