Fantastic family getaway

We enjoyed four nights with a 6yo and 2yo during the school holidays. It was toasty warm thanks to the wood heater on the rainy days, and so close to playgrounds and the beach when the sun came out! Enclosed yard was a bonus, along with the board games.

Time out

True relaxing shack getaway for all the family. Everything you need and plenty to keep you occupied. Beautiful polished boards and nice new kitchen and bathroom but it doesn’t loose its feel of the era it belongs too. Great for the dog who loved the yard and the outdoor areas. Also a very tasty nectarine tree in the garden. Would stay again.

Perfect Beach House!

Beautifully maintained and renovated beach house. Everything we needed as a family of 5 to relax and enjoy Orford. Walking distance to beach, river and shops. House was spotlessly clean and the new kitchen Reno was fantastic. Loved lying out on the grass, we utilised the under cover BBQ area to play cards and had many games of table tennis. Thanks to Rob for providing the perfect house for our trip to Orford!
