And lucky for bright-eyed backpackers and weekend dreamers, there’s a variety of character-filled accommodation options to suit every kind of trip.

Where to stay in Orange

While it feels quaint and village-like in parts, Orange is actually a significant regional city. If you’re drawn to the heart of the rural region, consider booking an Airbnb in the city centre, where you’ll enjoy easy access to restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, and vibrant local markets. If you’re after something a little more relaxed, the leafy suburbs of the town’s outskirts provide many charming options, from vineyard stays to widespread views of rolling hills. Families or groups may appreciate staying near Cook Park or the Orange Botanic Gardens, which offer green spaces and peaceful walking trails.
