Brigette has gone above and beyond in making this cabin on her and her husband’s orchard one of the best air bnb’s that you will ever stay at.
The location is beautiful. On top of a hill and surrounded by the orchard you can expect a wonderful view every day, from fog rolling through the fig and cherry trees on cold grey mornings to the sun beaming through the valley as it sets over over the hills and mountains in the distance. In the morning if you get up early you might be lucky enough to see a family of kangaroos go by the cabin and on clear mornings you might see the hot air balloons flying in the distance.
While the location is great and the amenities and facilities are everything that you could want, the absolute highlight of this stay is the hospitality that Briggs offers to her guests. You can expect treats on the bed and some fresh goodness from a local farm in the fridge like milk, eggs, lemons and fig paste. Our first stay at the orchard was just to get away from the city for the weekend and when we arrived Briggs had made delicious fresh scones for us. This time, returning to celebrate our 3 year anniversary we arrived to discover a freshly baked cake in the shape of a heart on the counter along side a personalised note welcoming us back.
Briggs and John are also great company and I would encourage anyone staying to have a chat with them.
We’ve never felt so at home at an airbnb and we truely treasure the time that we’ve spent at the orchard. We’ll definitely be coming back.
