Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Our stay at Basalt was exceptional and exceeded all expectations. Not only is the location idyllic and the interior so beautifully designed, but it is the attention to detail and hospitality of Simon that made us feel like we were having a one of a kind experience. Simon left us so many treats - marshmallows to toast in the fire, freshly baked bread, milk, muesli, jams. Because we booked mid week, we were lucky to also be gifted a grazing box of cheese, salami and local wine. The quality of the towels, robes, Salus products, linens on the bed all added to the feeling of luxury. Waking up to the sun rising from the comfort of the bed, soaking in the beautiful bath tub with views over the cherry orchard, star gazing with the telescope and simply sitting out on the deck all made this place so magical. We will definitely return.

We stayed at Basalt in the Drifter Studio for 2 nights, pure luxury. The studio has everything you need. Comfy bed, lovely fire, a view over Orange and beyond. Very private, and blissfully quiet, makes you feel like there is no one else there. Only a short 10 minute drive into Orange, with many wineries along the way.

This is an amazing place. We came in Spring last year and it was just as great this time . Although the weather was very cold ( July) the cabin was very cozy and we really appreciated the log fire. The view is lovely and we had a group of kangaroos not far from our cabin on the first morning. The drive into Orange is not too far but the location is suitably rural. Because we stayed 3 nights mid week we received a complimentary meal for the first night to heat up in the microwave as well as a bottle of local wine. Breakfast provisions for the first morning were also provided. Orange is a great town with lots of restaurants, cafes, wineries and shops. Also beautiful scenic drives. This is the perfect place to base yourself . Will definately be back .

We loved staying at Basalt. We booked out all 3 studios and had a fantastic time. It's a great location, just outside of Orange, the perfect place to explore the region. The first night we had so much fun sitting by the fire pit eating and singing. The owner was so wonderful being in touch with me prior to our arrival suggesting local wineries, restaurants and even picking up a birthday cake for me. The studio is beyond gorgeous in amongst the Orchards and how wonderful every morning we were greeted by a group of kangaroos - luv Cant wait to go back.

We had a lovely weekend at Basalt and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region. The villa has been so well thought out from the stunning views to top end technology and the most comfortable bed that we have ever slept in! We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings in by the fire, and the villa was in a perfect location for stepping out and exploring during the day. We hope to visit again one day! Vicky & James

From the moment you arrive at Basalt, you are greeted by breathtaking views that seem to stretch on forever. The landscape is a perfect blend of lush greenery, lakes (and dams), cherry trees and wildlife (Kangaroos and Rabbits).
The villas are equally impressive, that offer both comfort and luxury. The villa's are thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, providing a cozy retreat where you can unwind and soak in the beauty around you.
We were after a getaway that offered tranquility and it did not disappoint. The peaceful ambiance, combined with the gentle sounds of nature, makes it an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you’re lounging around, exploring the wineries or simply enjoying a quiet moment on your private deck, every experience here felt magical.
Simon (owner) is very welcoming and is always ready to assist, even before our arrival, providing recommendations for dining and things to do. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality added to the overall charm at Basalt, making you feel right at home.
In summary, Basalt is a perfect blend of majesty and tranquility, offering an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a place where you can truly connect with nature and find peace in its serene beauty.
The wine is amazing too!

Wow! What a great summary of a Basalt experience! You can basically picture the entire experience in your head as you read this. My magician skills are very ordinary (apart from the odd card trick or to) so I'm glad we have been able to create a magical experience for guests up at Basalt! Thanks again for staying with us and we look forward to welcoming you back again sometime, Cheers, Simon

We spent three nights at this luxury studio around 10 minutes from Orange high on a hill on a Cherry orchard overlooking the town. The studio has been put together with such attention to detail that nothing has been overlooked. Luxury personified. Close to wineries and walks. Can't wait to visit again.

Perfect retreat for a romantic getaway! A superb luxurious studio for a quiet couple of days in gorgeous surroundings. Everything beautifully presented and allowed for an effortless and enjoyable & relaxing weekend for our anniversary. Everything thought of down to the Basalt marshmallows for your own fire pit. Excellent location - far enough out of the city but close enough to enjoy the shops and wineries. Hosts are also extremely accomodating and helpful. Five stars from us! We'll be back :)

Basalt is perfect. Don't go anywhere else. Beautifully presented with everything you could need. The furniture, the linens, the kitchen, all the appointments at the highest standard. Beautifully positioned with gorgeous views. And only a stone's throw from town. Basalt makes you feel like a 'million bucks'! We loved it. Leslie (Sydney)
