My husband and I had a short getaway for no particular reason. David's lovely place about 10 minutes out of Orange was just perfect. Their self contained unit was completely separate to their house so there was adequate privacy. David met us on arrival which was nice and filled us in on all the places we should visit. The unit was well appointed with eclectic furnishings. Wineries were a short drive, so too were some lovely restaurants. Would definitely recommend a stay here and look forward to going back again when next in Orange.
David’s property at Havillah loft is about 15 minute out of Orange. The loft is a beautifully appointed little apartment next to the main house ideally suited to a couple or a family with one child. The view from the main bedroom of the paddock and the little cluster of silver birch home to gorgeous colourful parrots is magnificent! David is a wonderful host and helped us a lot with dining choices and winery bookings. He led us into the paddock - acres of beautiful land home to his farm animals. It was such a beautiful and unique experience. Thanks David - we shall definitely be back!
Great location, lovely hosts, everything you could want. Book wine tastings and restaurants ahead of time. Or alternatively you can do restaurant takeaway and bring it back to the loft. Some lovely walks around the property to keep you occupied too! Highly recommend!
David was very easy to deal with from beginning to end. The property is very pretty, we especially loved the little birch grove outside the windows and balcony, where the birds came to visit morning and afternoon. The accommodation is clean and well appointed and conveniently located. We will definitely recommend to friends and family.
We had a wonderful time staying at the Havilah Station Loft. The property is situated on the Mt Canobolas side of Orange and is characterised by rolling hills, plenty of trees and a flowing creek. The booking process was simple and straightforward and detailed directions were provided for getting to the property. We were met on arrival by our host David, who provided a good introduction to the property along with recommendations for restaurants and wineries in the area. We particularly liked "Charred" and "Sisters Rock" restaurants, "Rancine Bakery", "Small Acres Cyder" and "Cargo Road Winery".
The accommodation itself is exactly as described and is bright and airy, being upstairs and over the garage and with its own entrance. We were allowed to walk wherever we wanted over the property (there are over 500 acres to choose from) and visit the animals including cattle, horses and sheep.
The property is only 17km from the center of Orange and there are many wineries between the property and town, as well as Mt Canobolas, which makes it a great place from which to explore the region. We were really glad that we chose a farm stay rather than staying closer to town and would certainly recommend Havilah Station Loft.
Beautiful property with lovely host who is really helpful
David responded quickly to all questions and provided comprehensive information about where to go. Accommodation is compact, clean, tasteful and the windows with views to all the beautiful trees make the stay special.
Great place to stay
Very pleasant host
Excellent property

Haven of tranquility
My wife and I very much enjoyed a couple of days in David and Leanne's loft - more like a spacious villa actually. The place is on their large property 15 minutes west of Orange. It is on top of the garage, adjacent to their family home, but detached and private. Stylish, very clean with eccentric art works. Tip: go for the mezze plate. David is an excellent host.

Escape from the city buzz
Havilah Station Loft is definitely a slice of paradise and a true retreat. It’s fairly secluded giving you peace and quiet, but only 15 to 20 minutes drive to Orange. We look forward to our next trip back.

10 out of 10
We booked hurriedly without doing alot of research, so were alittle apprehensive as to what to expect. Evan though it was raining heavily ,as soon as we drove into the long, low hanging tree lined drive way , we knew we had made the right choice.
The property was as nice as you could imagine it to be. The loft was beautifully laid out and very cozy with a definite home feel about it. The rooms were a good size with everything you would need in place.
David was a very gracious host and made us feel very comfortable straight away.
Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend David. And most importantly , I am extremely grateful that you took your time out and drove our nosey 11 YO around the farm on your quad bike. That was the high light of his trip and we were constantly reminded of that by the sound of the lime stone rocks that were rolling around in the back of the Amarok as we drove back.
Definitely staying there again if we happen to go back to Orange.
Negative- didn't get to spend enough time at the property to really get the most out of it as we had commitments in Orange township during most of our stay.

Amazing quite and private country property
We had a lovely stay at the Loft for a long weekend. A very spacious loft that’s set privately away from the main house. It has everything you will need for your break but more importantly it is completely private and beautifully set in the country. Easy access to Orange and all the vineyards around. David was a wonderful host, who gave plentiful tips and recommendations before our stay. We were personally welcomed but were left to our privacy after. Would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a stay near Orange!

Well appointed and comfortable property.
A luxurious and well appointed property. We stayed in a winter weekend that was the coldest in many years and the double glazed windows kept us warm and cosy. The house is located on a farm and we were able to wander in the paddocks amongst sheep, cattles and horses.
The property has great views over the farm and the mountains. It is a great way to escape from the stresses of the city.
David, the owner, is great and very helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Stylish Tranquil Stay in Scenic Surrounds
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Havilah Station Loft. The loft is stylishly decorated, comfortable and spotlessly clean with everything that you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The outlook and setting is lovely with expansive district views surrounding the property and it was totally quiet. David was very helpful and welcoming. If you want to stay out of town this is a great choice. We look forward to staying again.

Peaceful oasis
The property is beautifully appointed, comfortable and very stylish. Only 15 minutes outside Orange, it offers beautiful vistas over stands of trees, rolling hills, and native birds aplenty. It was clean and very well appointed. Thank you Leanne and David. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will recommend to our friends.
