Beautiful home if you are wanting somewhere safe, clean and located in the heart of Orange. The entire process from start to finish was effortless, the instructions given were clear, and easy to follow. Great experience will be using this home in future any time we return.
All aspects of house were easy to use; excellent house facilities; lovely part of town close to urban interests. Plastic plants could do with a dust & wash, especially the large one in living area.Have already referred a matter of ants in the kitchen to house manager.

Not a Good Check-in with Mix up with same codes used for multiple houses
Upon Checking in, we found there was another person in the house we were staying in. This person arrived 15min before we did and used the same code we had to access the key for the property. This person’s house was actually 2 doors down, he made an innocent mistake and entered the wrong house. He packed his things and moved to his house, no harm done we were ok with this innocent mistake. I strongly suggest to the owner to not use the same access code for all his properties to avoid this mistake in future. I did text the owner this, however there was no reply. Overall, the house had a very rustic charm, however could do with some renos, a good paint (the paint was peeling off the walls), fix up the timber flooring as this is dangerous with split timber and holes in the floor. The bathroom tiles move and there was a pile of paint dust and peeling crumbs lying on the floor in the alcove. For the price we paid I’m not happy with this.
Everything was fine except the TV controllers are not working. One does not transmit a signal at all. The controller that sends a signal does not change the channel nor the volume.
Stayed during a very hot weekend. Was lovely that when we arrived the air con was on and the living area was cool.
Handy location. Happy to stay here again next time we are in Orange.
My husband and daughters had a lovely stay. Quiet, restful all we needed for a weekend break.
Thankyou

Good location, property needs work.
The property is in a good location but needs work - leaky taps, bathroom needs redoing, paint peeling off walls. It was fine for one night but wouldn't recommend it for a holiday.
This is an old house with with some renovations done.
As a result of its age some floor boards were broken and taps were working but has seen better days.
Its a rustic home that may not suite everyones taste. We enjoyed our stay as we love homes with character.
Overall, my family and I enjoyed our stay at this property for a long-weekend getaway. The house is comfortable and nicely decorated throughout. Some items need to be sorted out - we had to buy a frypan as there was none, no peeler, needs more water and wine glasses, blinds were broken in some rooms and the second bathroom, bird poo all over the outdoor table and chairs, dust in the smaller bedrooms, couple more tea towels rather than just one. Despite this, would stay again as it's a cute little townhouse that suited our needs and was an easy walking distance into the centre of Orange.
We stayed in this property for around 3days for a netball tournament. Very tidy and easy however the dryer didn't really work and one of the seating decorations in the lounge was falling apart and just leaving a mess..overall we enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice

A beautiful place in a great location
We had an awesome time and really loved the design and decor of the house. Everything was provided, the beds were super comfy, it was just so cozy, relaxing and warm. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. Would definitely love to stay there again

Little things needed to make it great...
Quiet and Comfortable house but lacks little bit of things like cutleries (as they had only 2 saucepans) for 6 people stay.
Internet is weak in the lounge room. Blinds were broken and dusty on the second bedroom...

Missing a few touches to rate it more
Great weekend in Orange for our intended purpose. Just Wish we’d looked and booked no. 155 & not 157. However, A few things do need attention for 5star rating: the 2nd & 3 room were dusty and blinds need over due a replacement. The sunroom isn’t suitable to sleep in, in my opinion , as it’s drafty from outside door and cold stone floor (great if it’s 40c outside).
Needs more crockery and glasses - 3 wine glasses for a house that can sleep and 3 mugs for a house that sleeps 7 doesn’t make sense.
The garden was overgrown, so unappealing to sit outside. Next door far superior.
Location quiet and convenient for a walk to town.
Would consider booking the Edward Group again but probably one of the other houses.

Not four bedrooms!
Nice property, but we wanted four bedrooms - this is three with a sunroom with no privacy, and a fold-out bed for which you need to request extra linen.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 September 2023
Hi Gillian Thank you for your feed back, the room number error has now been amended, i'm not sure why it was listed as 4 bedroom? I thought it was noted in the listing as 3 bedrooms??. Anyway it is fixed now andI do not think it is fair to degrade the property with 3 stars because of this over site in the number of rooms, the property has been listed for over 3 years and this is the worst star rating we have ever received? Kind Regards Stuart
