Milroy | Character home near Cook Park

Summary:
Escape to Milroy, a refreshed period home near Cook Park and the cafés and restaurants of Summer Street. Slow mornings, Orange wines and relaxed evenings await, with three inviting bedrooms for six, a claw-foot bath, a sunny kitchen and a courtyard made for lingering.

The Space:
Some homes invite you to slow down the moment you arrive. At Milroy, a graceful verandah, stained glass and the warmth of old timber set the scene for a stay filled with good food, local wine and time together.

Set among beautiful character homes on Summer Street, this recently refreshed three-bedroom home puts Cook Park and Orange’s café and dining scene within easy reach. Spend the morning over coffee, head out to discover the region’s cellar doors, then return to your own welcoming home for the evening.

ROOM FOR EVERYONE
Milroy welcomes up to six guests across three bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two each have a queen bed, while bedroom three has two king single beds: a comfortable arrangement for families, friends or couples travelling together. High ceilings, lovely period details and thoughtfully chosen furnishings give the home its distinctive personality.

UNWIND AT YOUR OWN PACE
The lounge is an inviting place to settle in after a day exploring, with comfortable seating and a large smart TV for a relaxed night together. Heating and air conditioning help keep your stay comfortable through Orange’s changing seasons. In the renovated bathroom, a freestanding claw-foot bath invites a long soak, alongside a separate shower. Bed linen and towels are provided, along with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a hair dryer. A separate toilet and laundry with washing machine, dryer and drying rack add everyday practicality. An iron and ironing board are also available.

GOOD MORNINGS BEGIN IN THE KITCHEN
Natural light fills the kitchen, where the breakfast bar is just the place for a cup of coffee and an unhurried start. An oven, cooktop, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, kettle and toaster make it easy to prepare meals at home, with cookware, dishes, cutlery, coffee and tea on hand. The adjoining dining area opens to the courtyard, bringing an easy flow to breakfasts, shared plates and evenings around the table.

A GARDEN WITH CHARACTER
Take your coffee outside, gather for a barbecue or enjoy a glass of Orange wine as the afternoon softens. The fully fenced yard, courtyard and lawn offer space to enjoy the sunshine, with a grapevine trained along the old clothesline and a grafted fruit tree adding to the garden’s charm. Seasonal greenery makes this a lovely place to pause between adventures.

A LITTLE FRIENDLY COMPETITION
The former stable has a new life as a rustic foosball room. Challenge someone to a match, bring out the games or let the children enjoy the scooters during your stay. These simple pleasures make time at home part of the holiday.

BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY
A baby cot and high chair are available for little ones. Up to two pets are welcome, with pet supplies provided. Please include your pets in your booking and clean up after them throughout your stay. Children have board games, toys and scooters to enjoy, while the grown-ups can take their time over breakfast or plan the next day’s discoveries.
