Rural views and family friendly

Albens is a comfortable, new cottage on a rural property just 10 minutes drive from Orange. A winery is within walking distance. It is an ideal place to base yourself to explore the picturesque Orange area. You may also choose to just unwind, read, have conversations with friends and family, paint or sketch, watch the nesting birds or enjoy the expansive rural views from the comfortable and well appointed cottage. Whether you are visiting for Wine and food weekend, the field days, visiting the vibrant town of Orange , exploring the district or just a relaxing stay in the country, Albens cottage is a ideal for you.

From the cottage are wonderful expansive views and over 25 species of birds have been seen on the farm, many nesting in the stand of Albens eucalypts adjacent to the house. Sunsets and the night sky are spectacular.

The comfortable 2 bedroom cottage sleeps 4 people . The kitchen is fully equipped and a large dining table is in the open plan living area. A slow combustion fire can be lit to warm the cottage and provides a wonderful ambiance. There is a wood pile near the door for your use. The terrace provides a great place to sit and admire the views for sunset drinks, sampling your newly purchased local wines.

There is much wildlife near the cottage. You are most likely to see kangaroos grazing and might be lucky enough to see the echidna wondering by. You will see many parrots and other birds.
There is a welcome basket with breakfast items including cereal, fruit, tea, coffee and milk.
The cottage is fully equipped and all linen and towels are provided. You can prepare your own meals, go out to one of the fabulous cafes and restaurants in Orange or bring in your takeaway.

We have just redone our driveway so it is now all weather and is suitable for all vehicles. It provides easy access to the cottage, with a sheltered entrance to the cottage.

We welcome you to stay at Albens cottage, on our lovely rural grazing props located just 10 minutes from Orange.

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

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!

Relaxing week-end
A well-appointed, beautifully situated property, only a short drive from town. We enjoyed the beautiful views, the sunset and the starry sky. The kids loved having the cows and horses around, and even saw an echidna early in the morning! The perfect place to relax and recharge.
