Melaleuca Retreat is a pet-friendly, modernly renovated country retreat on small acreage on the outskirts of Orange, quiet and rural but a short drive from town. It is set up to welcome dogs, with paddock space and a relaxed bush outlook, while keeping you close to the wineries and cafes.
The pet policy. Dogs are welcome, with access to the cottage and the front and back paddock areas. The yard can be enclosed for safer outdoor time, though supervision is sensible given the rural setting. Confirm whether dogs are allowed in the main living areas, and check the pet fee, on the booking listing. The watch-out here is resident farm animals (chooks, goats and a pet horse), so manage your dog's interactions and speak to the host if concerned.

The place. Private and secluded, with hedging and double-glazing, a large deck, gas BBQ, full kitchen and an EV charger. Known for tranquillity and native birdlife.
Getting there. Outskirts of Orange, an easy drive from the CBD. On-site parking. Bring a familiar water bowl given the rural location.
Nearby with the dogs. Many Orange wineries welcome dogs outdoors, the Botanic Gardens are a short drive for an on-lead walk, and there are country bushwalks nearby.
Best for a quiet rural escape with a dog that is calm around livestock. Confirm yard security and the pet fee at booking.
