Bed & Breakfast


Sanda House is the oldest house in Orford,(heritage listed) with the orig kitchen built in 1825 (now the Rose room) and the main house built in 1840.

Known locally as the old Post Office (1876-1940) it is nestled in an acre of cottage garden,chooks, orchard and vege patch. The house is built from local field and sandstone - very romantic and private, esp the Rose room.

Four bedrms (Rose, Jasmine, Mulberry & Wisteria) have been set aside for guests, each furnished with our collection of antiques, with all the comforts, but the original colonial look and feel.

The Rose room (Q) has a wood fire and was originally the kitchen. Large open fireplace still there. View over cottage garden.This is the room we recommend for couples with friendly, well-behaved dogs. Direct access to fully fenced garden. Dog has own room, next to Rose room - $10 charge.
The Mulberry (Q) is slightly newer, carpeted, ensuite, heating, own exit, view of bay.
The Jasmine (Q) is one of the original bedrooms as is the Wisteria (2 single beds.) These charming rooms are ensuite, heated, orig wood floors & stone walls and look across back garden with a glimpse of the bay.

All rooms have heating, tea/coffee, reading lights, TV, own bathrooms and (due to the stone walls) are quiet. The guest lounge has reading matter, local history, music and board games. B'fast(in dining room in front of fire)includes our own bread, jams and fruit, plus cereal, yoghurt, filter coffee.
