The White Place

The White Place  is a familiar name in these parts, renowned for being one of the best shops in Orange. The owners of the boutique store have capitalised on their finesse for interior decorating and used it to set up two stylish self-contained accommodation offerings in Orange – one on Byng Street and the other on Casey Street.

It accommodates eight adults across four bedrooms and features an outside deck and underground pool to retreat to on the days when the mercury gets a little higher.

The accommodation is all self-contained and in a great spot to explore the Central West, including Cowra, Carcoar, Millthorpe and more. For rural seclusion and tranquillity, you can’t look past Dairy Park.

Rosedale Farm

Just seven kilometres from the Orange CBD, Rosedale Farm is a restored 19th-century estate. The old workers’ quarters have been transformed into two luxury farm stays  that sleep two to four, while the homestead has been restored into Rosedale Residence  which sleeps 12.

Nashdale Lane

Another winery accommodation offering – this time with a little bit of a twist. Nashdale Lane’s glampsite  (and cellar door) is a proud fixture of the local community. Once you’ve indulged in a tasting, retreat back to one of two luxury glamping cabins, Rustig (meaning quiet/calm in Dutch) and Kalmte (serenity/calm).

Completely secluded from each other – and the rest of the property – both cabins are decked out with a four-poster queen-sized bed, hardwood floors and a bathroom with a monsoon shower.

For added luxury, a built-in deck and barbeque provide a touch of regional charm. Inside, a wood fire will warm you up after a long day of exploring the best of the Central Tablelands.

Colour City Caravan Park

For an easy stay in town, you can set up camp at the Colour City Caravan Park right in the centre of things.
