Hillside is a 75 acre working orchard growing cherries, stonefruit, apples and pears. Amongst the rows of fruit trees is a small block of eucalypts and three dams, one of which is quite large and suitable for swimming, paddling and fishing in. Dawn and dusk brings a variety of birds and kangaroos and skies painted in colour.
In summer and autumn you can pick your own fruit. In winter put on your coat and take a walk whilst breathing in the fresh, crisp air. In spring, buds burst open and all the trees are covered in beautiful blossoms.
The orchard is in the heart of Cabonne Shire, the fruit bowl of Central West NSW. Orange is renowned for its wineries, restaurants and cafes. At our farm stall you can grab a coffee, light lunch and a great variety of local produce including fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey, olive oil and jams.
Just minutes away, Mt Canobolas and Lake Canobolas offer great bushwalking and mountain biking and Borenore Caves is amazing for exploring. Or visit one of the many local wineries. Our neighbours at Orange Mountain Estate Wines are less then 100m walk from our camp sites. A visit with them is a perfect way to finish your day and then stroll back to camp.
We accept caravans, camper trailers, motorhomes and tents to stay at our property.
Disappointed that we paid (extra) for a ‘flushing toilet’ yet I’ve seen pit toilets cleaner. And it’s not like the previous user left a mess. No. It’s like the owners haven’t seen fit to clean them in months (& there’s only two!)
Do better, or just don’t advertise and charge for that filth.
We have had such an amazing experience sleeping next to this beautiful lake and watching the sunset was the best part. We also enjoyed heaps of nectarines and I picked some to take home :) Highly Recommend!
Kind regards
Jaime and Geeta
We booked site 1 and paid extra for the use of the toilet - total cost was $120 for three nights. However, on arrival there was no “site 1” and were guided to a paddock that was about 300metres from the toilet and was available to anyone who wished to use it? I did try and explain to the lady about our booking but it didn’t seem to matter - the paddock was where we had to camp. In the end we decided to leave. Very disappointing - not as described on the Hipcamp site.
What a great place to stay. Paula was a friendly host who made sure we were happy with the site. Farm store was amazing and the walk through the orchard with all the cherry trees in bloom was lovely.
We had an absolutely fantastic time, Paula was very friendly and helpful. And the night views of the stars was fantastic. We are already working at arranging our next visit there.
