We loved our stay at Bendalong. It is in a beautiful, quiet location and has everything you could need. The property is a only a short drive from Orange CBD, and it is easy to get to other close by towns.

Thank you for staying with us, Ashleigh. A delight to host you!
We would have loved to stay longer here! Multiple living areas, comfortable beds and a beautiful yard. It was cold and rainy while we were there, but the fire warmed us up nicely and we had a lovely time.

Thank you, Bernard. We will treat this as a matter of urgency to ensure our team is fine tuning their work and completing each clean to the highest standard. Appreciate you bringing to our attention.
This house was suited in a quiet and picturesque location, not too far from the centre of Orange. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, including lovely bathroom supplies. There was plenty of space for our family of five and easy access to technology. We would highly recommend this property!
Perfect location - small lake, great view, yet still close to town centre. We loved the design of the house including the bar, bathrooms, bedrooms and living space. We would love to share this space with our family and friends the next time we stay!

Delightful Ryan! So glad you had a lovely time, we would love to host you again.
Bendalong is a 10-min drive from Orange and is a lovely tranquil property. Our young family enjoyed games, walks and being woken up to the birdlife. Would have been nice to have the external areas a little cleaner but other than that, we couldn't fault it.

A lovely homely property in a quiet location. Very clean and exceeded our expectations. Tastefully modernised with very comfy beds and great bathrooms. Loved the fire! Everything we could have wished for. Great to have wifi and mobile reception and access to streaming services. We would love to come back.

Very appreciative of your kind words, Amanda. We hope to have the opportunity of hosting you in the future!
My recent stay at Bendalong was nothing short of superb!
This property is located in a beautiful rural spot close to everything you need around the Orange Area, We arrived to an already heated house with music playing and a welcome box of goodies that felt like we were in our own home. This place was so well set up for what we wanted and was such good value for the money!
Surrounded by wildlife and with all the bells and whistles of a well renovated house, nothing in this home disappointed.
Thank you so much for your hospitality, we cannot wait to return and show other friends and family one of Nashdale's best kept secrets!

Wonderful to read your review Dominic. An absolute delight to host you and we hope to see you again soon. You are welcome anytime!
A lovely property in a very quiet location. We stayed here last year too and since then, plantation shutters have been added to all rooms. The master suite is huge and has a lovely bathroom. The room with the fireplace is very cosy and we used it a lot as it was very cold and raining during our stay. In warm weather there is a lovely verandah in the gardens. We noticed it wasn’t quite as clean as the last time we stayed but nothing we couldn’t fix ourselves. The house is very dark and none of the lighting, except the bathrooms, seems to be sufficient, especially on dark and dreary days. But all in all, it’s a lovely place to stay

We loved our stay at Bendalong - Rural Retreat. The property is beautifully presented, we were welcomed with calm music and a lovely lit home. The little goodie basket was definitely a bonus. The home was comfortable and clean. The kids loved running around the gardens and asked if we could stay longer!
I would definitely recommend this property to a family or friends wanting to get away to Orange. We could have quite happily just hung around Bendalong as it felt like home. It is an easy 15min drive to the centre of Orange. The communication with Stuart was great as we were allowed to take some delicious lemons off the lemon tree. Thank you Bendalong, we will visit again!
