Bush garden with bonfire area and views across the rolling hills to Mount Canobolas. Explore the forest, walk in the paddocks, or along the creek, see the birds, kangaroos, wallabies, emus, eagles, wombats, and maybe an echidna or a platypus. Enjoy the peace and quiet.
The Rockies now has paintings by several local artists hanging in the house. Some of these belong to The Rockies but many are for sale.
10 minutes to Cudal or Manildra. 30 minutes to vineyards, restaurants, Canowindra, Molong or 40 minutes to Orange.
Dirt road access - both public road and on-farm track, conditions vary on both. 4WD is not required but at least average clearance is necessary.
We cannot take pets because of native animals that frequent the garden.
Sunny house with
1 new Queen bed in master bedroom
1 new Double bed in second bedroom

All with built in cupboards and plenty of space.
Slow combustion heater.

Kitchen stocked with basics as well as some local goodies and a little produce from the farm vegie garden.
Beautiful walks across the paddocks or through the bush right at your door.
Space for the kids to run around, ride their bikes or just potter about in the yard or the paddock. You can watch from the recliners on the verandah with a coffee or a glass of wine.
Wineries close by and all the other attractions of Cabonne and Orange districts.
Handy location for Orange Food and Wine Festivals, Orange Winter Festival Canowindra Balloon Festival and National Field Day at Borenore.
There are 3 golf courses in Orange, plus courses in other surrounding towns - Canowindra, Molong, Forbes, Parkes, Cowra, all within easy distance.
Nangar National Park is only a short distance away.
We are a working farm, and on the edge of a real forest, so children must be kept in sight at all times to ensure their safety. Although The Rockies is 2km from farm sheds so it is very quiet.
The creek is on the farm, but is 2km from The Rockies house. In wetter periods there are streams closer to the house. Kids or adults can play at building dams, paddle, etc, in any of these, season and safety permitting.
Our weather is between that of Parkes and Orange. It is colder in winter than Sydney - but not as cold as Orange. The house has heating and air conditioning. We are happy to share our pool if you are here in hot weather.
We are in the country, there will always be wildlife, from kangaroos, emus and eagles to snakes, lizards and insects.
We occasionally have floods which prevent access to the farm. If this occurs and your booking has to be cancelled, we will refund the full cost of the booking, except the Stayz fee, or you can change your booking to another date.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Sally’s cottage. It was so private, peaceful (we don’t count the birds and occasional sheep) and had everything we could have asked for. Sunrise on the front porch with a coffee, kangaroos and birds, to sunset and the stars and satellites in the amazing outdoor bath.We got to experience the farm and watch the shearing too! Sally is a fabulous host and left us with gifts and herbs and tomatoes from her garden! And the beautiful artwork on the walls from local artists that you can also purchase is a wonderful touch of supporting local.We will be recommending this escape from the world with our friends and family.

Summary: We've really enjoyed our stay. We like the rustic feel, less fancy and more touched with nature. It was noticeable that Sally the host had put the extra efforts particularly with fresh veggies & herbs from the garden as well as a bottle of red and white (what a spoil!) - these little things show the level of care and makes a difference.During our stay Sally guided us through the farm, we saw the veggie patch, the chooks, dogs, horse, sheep, rams and the kids got to climb up the machinery (with permission of course!). We were also able to walk around to the conservation area and see kangaroos and different birds and lizards, some were making very special sounds, and even a skeleton of one of them.The unit is distant from everything and is very peaceful and you get very stary nights. The outdoor bathtub is fun on a warm afternoon!The unit has also noticeable arts held in it which you could purchase if you want, the paining is by a local artist and to an unprofessional eye like mine its looking great.There was also a book with photos of local farmers which we found extremely interesting - it was put together by a local lady who got affected by recent events (floods etc) and the book is showing great photos and helps putting faces to the events you hear about. Great added value to the experience.Only one thing we think could be better - its the light in the unit; even though the unit is old, some change of light bulbs could make it feel much brighter.

Summary: Completely serene, from enjoying the red wine in front of the fire, to the outside bath under the stars, the morning hello from the kangaroos to the stroll into the surrounding forest.

Summary: It was a great little cabin. A quiet getaway. We did find that the main rubbish bin was full when we arrive and not much space for our general rubbish. The BBQ was dirty and been well used. We had no power all day Saturday which was no fault to the owners of the place but did effect us more then we thought it would. Especially when we still payed full price. Otherwise it was nice and owners are lovely.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything from the outdoor fire pit and the indoor fireplace to the outdoor bath! An incredible experience overall. Stargazing while soaking in the tub was very special. Sally was a perfect host and provided everything we needed to make this a memorable stay. The gift basket was a very special touch. The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy. We’ll definitely be back.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty and rural location of the Rockies. Sally is thoughtful, kind and clear in her communication. We loved riding bikes, walking, exploring and doing a lot of not much with a beautiful view. The fire heats the whole house and there a couple of heaters if a boost is needed. There is a forrest conservation area behind the property that was wild and lush. It was helpful to have a 4wd in the wet. Thanks so much Sally, Jono and Isabelle!
