Great family accommodation

A quiet property that was enjoyably to stay at. Great for a family, the boys played backyard cricket and the kitchen had everything we needed to make a meal.Only criticism was the queen size bed was very firm to sleep on, the bbq needed a good clean and there was no hot tub like advertised.

Lovely Cottage

Great cottage to rest and relax, enjoy a book in the garden or stroll on the beach which was just a few metres away at the end of the quiet street. We thorough enjoyed our stay and will look to revisit if we get the chance.

I can’t tell you how happy we were with the cottage. Everything you could need is on hand and it was very welcoming and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and will return again before the crowds come back in summer. Winter getaways are the best. Loved the whole experience and will definitely recommend to others.

ORFORD RELAXATION AND BEACH

We loved our week in Orford and the property had all that we needed. It was a good base to go to Swansea for the day and go to Triabunna for shopping and fresh seafood. Jak and Frodo (furbabies) were most welcome and loved their walks on the beach every day which was only 2 houses away from our stay. The only down side was the internet was intermittent and lack of tv stations, but that is minor and our personal choice. We highly recommend to anyone wanting a stay in Orford to book at 12 Rudd Avenue. You won't regret it.

Quiet location with views of the water and Maria Island

The house was wonderful and had plenty of space for us to enjoy. The yard was large for us to be able to play with our grand children. The view from the house to the water was great and to also see Maria Island. We will definately stay here again.
