We are situated in the Southern Flinders Ranges, next to the Wirrabara Forest, in a scenic and quiet location. Taralee Orchards is a certified Biodynamic orchard property of 115 acres.

We have two fully self contained cottages, with large north facing verandahs, which overlook the orchard and the forest. Both have two bedrooms. Apricot Cottage can accomodate 5 people, and Ruby Cottage can accomodate 6. Both have a slow combustion wood fire for cosy winter evenings, and outdoor furniture and gas BBQ fo the warmer weather.

We are across the road from the historic 'Old Forest Nursery', the Heysen Trail passes by the property, and the Mawson Trail is nearby, so we are an ideal location for bushwalkng, cycling, walks in the forest, or simply relaxing on the verandah and enjoying the views. Families are welcome. We have a range of farm amimals, and you are welcome to join in at feeding time. We also have a high chair, porta cot, games and toys, and childrens videos and DVD's.
