The cottage is spacious, stylish, and freshly renovated—designed for comfort in every season.

Gather around the massive dining table for shared meals, games, or long chats by the fire—it’s a space that brings people together.
The grounds are park-like and peaceful, dotted with massive, shady trees and a charming old windmill that adds to the rustic charm.

Rolling down the driveway on Friday evening we were greeted by the serenity of Meadowbrook - twinkling fairy lights, a spacious lawn for the kids, cute homemade bar area and plenty of outdoor seating. The house was immaculate with plenty of options for beds, heating, sitting areas, etc so we could all spread out and have space. Everything was clean, tidy and easy to use. We used the house as a base for the Lonely Mountain Ultra and then visits to vineyards etc the next day. We enjoyed the fire pit and the kids loved exploring outside and seeing kangaroos. Everything was perfect and we could have stayed much, much longer! Beds were exceptionally comfy - we all slept in for hours each morning: total luxury considering we had 4 kids in the house!

About the host
Hosted by Aaron
My wife, Stacey, and I own Meadowbrook Lodge, where we love spending time in the great outdoors. I’m also a high school teacher and Airbnb host, passionate about surfing, mountain biking, and snowboarding, with a growing interest in great wine.
Why they chose this property
Stacey grew up in Orange and when the opportunity to own Meadowbrook presented itself we had to jump on it. The property has always been very special to us as it was the family home for more than 25 years. We love the wineries, our kids love the Mountain Bike Riding and we all enjoy the abundance of nature.
What makes this property unique
Space to roam, nature to explore and location location location. All the best wineries and attractions that people want to visit are not in town, they are all around us! Plus the property is beautiful. Stacey's mother created a park like setting that just feels amazing to spend time in. It is lush with huge trees, heaps of bird life and animals, but it also feels very pristine and manicured.
