It was once the farm house of a large apple orchard. It has a huge lounge room which in the 1940's hosted monthly dances.

When considering staying with us please be mindful this is a old country home in a rural area. If you're looking for all the modern comforts and predicability of a commercial hotel this might not be the accommodation for you. If you are after a genuine country experience with rustic charm, space, freedom and privacy we think you'll love our place. Being in a rural setting you may encounter more animals, spiders and bugs than the city, a lizard may give you a fright in the garden or you might hear a possum at night. Being an old house you may encounter the occasional imperfection, we are constantly making improvements but it is a 100 year old house.

Absolutely loved staying at the Apple. Such a peaceful location, family friendly and lots to do - from out door games to indoor entertainment. Would love to come back again!
The Place was in a fantastic location and very clean inside. Even though the house is old it was well maintained. one bathroom was fully renovated and the other one was very clean . The amenities were excellent. Kitchen had everything needed.
Was an amazing stay with 8 of us ladies celebrating my 60th Birthday. Everything was perfect. Plenty of wood for fires, kitchen facilities had everything and more and I loved the electric blanket. Thank you for an amazing weekend.
The property was clean and tidy, with plenty of room, with all sorts of things to do, there was 10 adults in our group and we had a great time!There was only one let down, no free to air TV, although there was a DVD player and Apple TV.
My family and I had a joyous time staying at the Apple. It's a very special place that recharged us with fresh country air and a relaxing space that felt like a second home.
We really enjoyed staying here. The kids loved the trampoline and DVD collection and wanted to stay longer. There is heaps of room inside and out and the garden is really nice.
We LOVE this place! We have stayed here annually for several years now and it never disappoints. Always peaceful, beautiful and SO pretty! Aimee is a great hostess and we are already looking forward to next year's stay.
Lovely, homely stay. The house is so well equipped with everything tou need, plenty to do for kids on the ecpansive geounds. A short drive to the quaint Bridgetown with all the amenities you need. So glad we chose to head to the country for something different. Highly recommend.
Where to begin....! Absolutely stunning, especially in winter with a roaring log fire and a firepit at night! The bedding was of superior quality, the kitchen was unbelievably well stocked and the larder - no need to bring any dry goods! The grounds were beautiful and our dog loved to be able to run at will! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Wonderful place quite close to town and river. Huge amount of condiments made cooking really enjoyable. Amazing bird life and saw lots of skinks. Enjoyed it a lot.
Enjoyed our 2 nights getaway, its very hard to find accommodation that allows 4 small dogs at one time so that definitely was a winner for us. very spacious 3 bedroom house loved that every room had there own personal ensuite. The wood fire was perfect and made the room toasty warm and gave additional light as our first night there everyone in bridgetown lost power due to the horrible weather so atleast we didnt freeze. The caretaker was very helpful on check in and gave us candle for lighting until power was restored, the garden beds around the house look alittle unloved but not a deal breaker. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a beautiful stay. The house was gorgeous with beautiful views of the gardens and surrounding area from every window. Aimee was very responsive when we had a couple of questions about the fire etc. We would definitely recommend and would come back.
The property had everything we needed to be comfortable. The fire was on when we arrived which was lovely.
The kids had the best time running around the property all day long (bring gum boots!). It was also a paradise for our old dog.
10/10, would absolutely love to come back again.
What a wonderful property. We were constantly surprised by all the little nooks around the property. A beautiful place to stay. Lovely hosts, gorgeous old house that accommodated us so well with the three bathrooms. We will be back.
