Wake up to the sound of birds chirping (and the smell of lavender during the harvest) and stroll or cycle into Millthorpe for a delicious breakfast made of scrumptious local produce complimented by locally roasted coffee. A short distance from Millthorpe, the beautiful and charming village offers highly acclaimed hatted restaurant Tonic, convivial country pubs, quaint cafes, historic museum, boutique shops, cellar doors, and beautifully manicured sports oval with a kids playground.

Country cottage comfort
We three adults had a great stay at Ashburton: a perfect location to access the many charming country towns between Orange and Bathurst including nearby Millthorpe. The cottage was warm, cozy and well appointed, and we enjoyed exploring the lavender fields and wandering the laneways. Ken and Phe are friendly and considerate hosts and we greatly appreciated their local knowledge and generosity. The friendly farm pets, wide night sky and selection of fine local wines was a welcome bonus.

Excellent Self-contained Accommodation
Thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay over the Easter period in a lovely setting close to Millthorpe. We were warm and comfortable in our spacious self-contained cottage. Our hosts were very welcoming, and we were surprised and delighted by the complimentary bottle of wine, home-baked bread and fresh eggs. Many thanks to Ken and Phe.

Absolutely Amazing
Phe and Ken are a great host and simply the best. The property is in amazing condition. Very clean, very well maintained, very comfortable and has everything a family needs for a few nights stay or even longer. It was a home away from home for us especially with 2 little kids. Everyone loved the stay. Fresh bread and eggs provided on first morning added to the whole farm experience. Property is very close to nearby town and Orange and yet located in the middle of farms which is absolutely the best location you can ask for when needing a break from city. We had booked this stay in 2021 but due to COVID lockdowns had to defer a few times. Phe and Ken were simply amazing and very prompt to answer our queries and responded to our changing requests for booking reschedules. I could continue to write about this amazing property and the hosts but will end with a rating of 10 out of 5.

excellent place to stay and unwind
We were met by Ken when we arrived and made immediately to feel at home. We later met Phe and the children. Nothing was too much trouble. We were warmly welcomed by all and encouraged to explore the farm. We loved Milthorpe and explored Carcoar as well. A truly relaxing couple of days. We will be back! Chris and Prue

Fantastic getaway with personal touch
We enjoyed our stay very much - very roomy and clean, well kept property in a quiet setting yet close to town and shops. Phe and Ken personally welcomed us and the bottle of wine and warm freshly baked bread really added the personal touch. The kids (small and big) loved the animals on the farm and you can't beat the sweet smell of lavender that greets you every time you step out of the door!

The place was very nice and the scenery was amazing. we had everything that we needed in the house. Ken and Phe are amazing people and so nice to talk to them. Unfortunately, I was excited for the lavender farm but it wasn't any. Overall stay was very nicest it was overpriced.

Great country escape!!
We enjoyed our stay, welcome process was friendly and easy. The property is close to town. Our daughter enjoyed feeding the sheep. The accommodation was spacious and very clean, heating was available for cold evenings. This property is perfect for a quick country escape. The only let down was Millthorpe town is only open on weekends. So take all your food unless you do day trips and eat out in bigger towns like Orange.
