    "The Orchard" is located at Crafty Cider and SMART Animal Sanctuary "The Orchard" is in the beautiful Kunama valley located 10 minutes from Batlow and 30 from the wonderful town of Tumbarumba. Set your camp up in our small Cider Apple orchard over looking the dam and our beautiful 55 acre farm. Get close up to the camels (Houdini, Sadeek and Gobi), Check out our beautiful big highland steer called Jimmy, Roger the donkey always likes a bum scratch, and see the many other animals that live here at Crafty Cider & SMART Animal Sanctuary. Kick back and listen to the quiet around you, enjoy the sounds of the birds and farm animals. "The Orchard" is a beautiful peaceful 5 minute walk down a gravel road with big trees to our Cidery where you can taste and take back to camp some of our cider or sit and have a drink while watching the animals being fed. Maybe book a tour where Tony will show you how we make our cider from the orchard to the bottle and Lorene will show you the amazing animals. You can always jump on your bike and head out on one of the many tracks in the area. You will need to be self sufficient and have your own toilet, water etc. There is no power in The Orchard. Due to people using the orchard as a toilet we are now no longer taking people tenting. You MUST be self sufficient. Head in Batlow to check out the bakery, RSL and Pub and admire the beauty of this small town. Or head upto Tumbarumba where you can visit the Winerys and Ginnery, have lunch at Coroubya wines,The Nest or one of the many cafes. Maybe take the challange of the Tumbarumba rail trail. Check out the water falls, the blowering dam and take in those beautiful mountain views.Located 10 minutes from Batlow in the beautiful Kunama Valley. There is plenty of room on our orchard block to pitch your tent or park your van.  You are surrounded by interesting animals including Camels, highland cattle, donkeys and cows. This is a very peaceful location where you can relax and enjoy the farm noises and the birds singing.  Guests are required to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and MUST take all waste with them on departure. Just a 5 minute stroll down the beautiful gravel road lined with large trees and you will find yourself at our cellar door where you can try and purchase some of our delicious ciders. We also run a animal sanctuary on this property so you will always see a lot of different animals.   Locally we have rail trails, waterfalls, Blowering dam, world class cold climate winerys and plenty of other outdoor pursuits. Well behaved pets are welcome. For the safety of your pets please keep them from going into the paddocks. All Dogs must be on a lead if you come down to the Sanctuary and Cidery.

    A quiet, peaceful place to camp!
    6 ft Class B
    We camped at the orchard for 5 nights and absolutely loved our time there. It was quiet, peaceful and picturesque - we couldn't ask for more! There were also cows, horses and camels which was a nice bonus. On one of the days we took a tour of the cider factory, and enjoyed a cider tasting whilst chatting with Tony, who was friendly and interesting to talk to. It was a short drive into Batlow where we there is a supermarket. We would definitely stay there again!

    To have the entire site to ourselves or even the possibility to add loved ones to our stay was fantastic, it’s not everyday that you are surrounded by apple trees and a large array of animals like camels and highland cows and so forth. The grounds were well kept and access was very easy with. Tony and Lorene we will most definitely stay there again actually planning on inviting some family next time. Thank you and see you in the new year.

    What a beautiful spot. The kids loved watching the animals in their paddocks and having a good chat to the cows in the morning. Watching the stars was a true experience with no light noise.

    Great hosts & ideal weekend away
    22 ft travel trailer · With kids
    We have just returned from The Orchard after we stayed for the weekend as a large group with young children. The site is peaceful and spacious and has a marked fire pit on the ground making it easy to get a campfire up and running. There is plenty of firewood in the location. Walking distance up the road was the cidery and animal sanctuary. Our kids loved every minute of being around camels, cattle, pigs and dogs. Lorene was a great host and showed us around both facilities. The cider was amazing and worth the stay alone. Taking a case back to camp made our Saturday night. We are already thinking about coming back here to explore the Barlow area some more. We’d highly recommend!
