Things to note
We aim to give you complete privacy on your stay however please note Alandale Fruits is a commercial working orchard and our home. You may see us walking about tending to daily jobs. The nature of orchard work is quite and tranquil however you may hear the occasional tractor as the cottage is situated between two sheds (one is just for storage). There is a privacy screen situated between the cottage and shed. We absolutely welcome you to explore the trees but in order to keep the orchard working certain blocks may be limited. To ensure your safety all sheds are strictly prohibited.
There is good Optus reception, patchy Telstra and no vodafone.
We have a very friendly retriever x lab x kelpie dog called Phoebe. She will most likely be the first to welcome you. Please let me know if you have any concerns about dogs!...
