Fantastic beach house

Clean, tidy, comfortable and fully appointed. Close to the beach, cafes and restaurants. We had a fantastic time and cannot wait to go back for another few days away. We cannot recommend Orford Beach House highly enough for a stress free getaway.

The best thing was the view of Maria Island from the back deck and main bedroom window. Late check out is also appreciated. Ice cream shop (Sweets) across the road was excellent to discover just before closing time. The Orford Beach House is well set up and would be a great place to stay for a week. We only had two nights. I would come back again with more time next time.

Was okay. Bit weird, a lot of spare furniture around the place. Power tripped and ended up having to figure it out ourselves as we didn't get a response for ages.

Great family accommodation with direct water access

This is the second time we've stayed here. The house is older, but comfortable. It's a great place to stay with children, there is direct access to the river and a small beach. Magnificent view from the main bedroom and balcony. The main beach is only a short walk or ride. Having access to the canoes and a safe area to use them is a bonus for the children.

Happy in Orford

The house is homely and spacious. Great deck with super view across river mouth to Maria Island. We enjoyed walked daily on the beaches and walking tracks here and nearby. Plus a visit to Maria Is. All very relaxing.

Old and rustic or old and tired

This place is ideally located right on the river inlet, with a cafe next door and across the road. The local Blue Waters Hotel is a two minute walk away and does great meals, nice family atmosphere. The accomodation is large plenty of room for a family, fully equipped or over equipped, but I can’t make my mind up whether it’s old and rustic or old, tired and cluttered.
