About this house rental

Secluded Treetop Retreat – Luxury Getaway
Surrounded by rainforest with a uniquely private lakefront position, Orange Grove offers everything you are searching for in a holiday property in the Great Lakes area. The 4 large contemporary bedrooms all have spectacular rainforest views. With 2 separate lounge areas and 3 bathrooms, this beautifully designed spacious property is perfect for couples, friends and for families looking to holiday together, while providing everyone with their own space to relax.

Please NOTE surcharge for extra guest over 6 people is not added to online booking total. See below.

Orange Grove sits on 3000 sqm of lake front property and was designed by local award-winning architect Ian Sercombe, to the highest standards of design and environmental living.

The main living/entertaining area has beautiful views on 3 sides with a fully equipped cooks’ kitchen, dining area and lounge. For those winter evenings you can curl up by the luxury log burner – hard to beat!

A second lounge/ chill out area provides a separate space to get together to watch a movie or for the kids to play. There are LOTS of movies of all genres plus books, board games, toys and a Play Station.

Both living areas open onto a deck that runs the length of the property with a formal dining table that seats 8 and bar stools for a more relaxed vibe - great for sundowners or beers by the BBQ.
The sunny terrace sits off the kitchen and has a fruit tree and herb garden, plus a hot and cold shower for rinsing off after a swim.
The first floor has 4 bedrooms along a central corridor bound by the rammed earth wall.

2 identical contemporary master bedrooms sit at either end of the house both with queen beds, a separate luggage/dressing area, desk and a balcony with beautiful views through the treetops.
There is a super cute bunk room which has built in wooden bunk beds with windows along their length that look out through the trees - the best spot in the house for kids to hang out nature watching.

A third bedroom has a queen bed and offers an interconnecting lockable door with the bunk room.

We are happy to provide up to 2 extra foam mattresses for additional children.

2 large family bathrooms serve the 4 bedrooms - with shower, bath and an amazing outlook it really is the loo with the view!!

A walk down steps through the rainforest garden brings you to a secluded lake front beach – great spot for fishing.

Orange Grove aims to provide you with the ultimate relaxing holiday experience. We provide bed linen, towels, basic kitchen/laundry amenities (olive oil, balsamic, sugar, tea, salt, pepper, foil, dishwasher powder, laundry powder etc) and for families we have a high chair, travel cot, small children’s dining table, and kid’s cutlery / plates.

FREE WI-FI, Netflix and local calls are provided for your convenience.
Please note Orange Grove is a beautiful house located in a quiet area - if you are looking for a party house then please look elsewhere.

Lovely place, well equipped with lots of lovely extras, like plenty of coathangers! Duplo, books, games. However, no extra toilet paper rolls not good for our 8 people. Great to have two separate living areas. No bannister or handrail on stairs a little challenging. Also, a prominent number on property would have helped find it! Steep stairs down to front door were covered with leaves and seed pods, which made it a bit dangerous esp when carrying luggage. Lovely big balcony could also have benefited from a sweep up of all the leaves prior to our arrival.

We loved the stylish ambience of this house and the children were well catered for . The kitchen was well equipped with all that was needed and overall we really enjoyed our break there and would love to stay again. P.S. Would love to see the addition of a stair railing for the over 60s!

My family and I enjoyed an absolutely fabulous week at this hidden gem of a home. It literally feels like you are waking up in a rainforest!! All of the local beaches, waterways and amenities are in a short drive or hike. The home itself has everything you need and a soak in either of the lovely bath tubs, looking out on the tree tops with lake glimpses is a must do!
