A must needed break!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time away at The Quarters. the quaint home was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of a city but close enough to the beautiful Orange and surrounding Towns.Our hosts, Fran and Chris were extremely responsive and prepared our accommodation wonderfully. All the "small touches" were included and the Farm tour a must.Thanks for making our stay special.

Great Stay in Emu Swamp

Fran and Chris' place was perfect for what we needed, Well stoked kitchen, very comfortable bedrooms, and spotlessly clean. We had a lovely time, and really enjoyed the farm tour. Fire pit was ready for us when we arrived and provided a lovely night by the fire toasting marshmallows. Despite it being freezing outside, the house was nice and warm with all the heaters and gas heating in the lounge. We really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come again.

Wedding Stay

Fran and Chris have created the most idyllic, quaint and cosy cottage. We stayed the night before our wedding and it was where we all got ready on the big day. The cottage is sun-filled and bright with the most gorgeous garden and surrounds. The warmth and cosiness of the cottage made it a relaxing start to our big day. We recommend a stay at The Quarters for anyone looking for a country getaway

Sam's Review

We had a fabulous time at The Quarters. We had a great experience for children to experience the rural lifestyle. The Quarters is fully equipped with all your needs and all essentials. Highly recommend a farm tour with Chris on their farm to get a good feel of what rural life farming and the history of the area and the farm. My children walked away with great knowledge and a lot of respect for the land and an understanding of farming. Chris and Fran are great people and the hospitality of making us all welcomed was world class. Would definitely stay again, Chris, Fran once again a big thank you from me and my children. Regards Sam and kids See you soon.

Absolutely gorgeous

Well, what a property. The cottage is stunning, its old country charm took me back to living on the farm. It was clean, well presented and nothing was spared. More than enough linen, blankets, towels and pillows. The gas fire was gorgeous to sit by and the subtle baa of the sheep created this beautiful relaxing sense of happiness. We stayed here for 4 nights for our wedding recently, our children with us on some nights and they were comfortable, warm and loved spending time in the lounge and garden. The whole cottage is just homely and comfortable and the external gardens, stunning. The hosts Fran and Chris were easy to reach, accomodating and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for having us. Rae Family xx

Fantastic Farm stay

We loved our stay at The Quarters - such a cosy place to stay with amazing views! It was great to wake up and look out at the rolling hills in the morning, and to have the fire on at night. Our son loved seeing all the sheep and having a ride in the ATV.
