Your cottage will have its own private spaces, but please be aware that other guests may be around as well. There are two other cottages as well as the Angas Carriage in immediate proximity to your cottage so please do expect to occasionally see your neighbours. Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun! Little Forest also has various trails throughout its 42 acres, but please keep children supervised at all times due to wildlife, unfenced dams and trains. ** Why choose Orchard Cottage? ** Orchard Cottage has a wonderful cozy feel to it and is a wonderful retreat to come home to after a day exploring the Southern Highlands. ** How is the property laid out? ** Orchard Cottage is reached down a tree-lined country drive way.
