Escape to The Machinery Shed at Logan Brae Orchard, a one of a kind retreat tucked inside a 100 year old apple orchard on the edge of the Kanimbla escarpments. Rustic charm meets modern luxury with mid century industrial design, warm fairy lights, and orchard views.
Now with a brand new sauna, it’s the perfect hideaway for couples, creatives, and anyone craving a quiet reset. Wander among the apple trees, and soak up the stillness, just seconds from the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains.
The space
NEW LISTING — SAME BELOVED STAY
We’ve just had to re-publish the Machinery Shed after the sale of our other accommodation property, which means the reviews reset and it may look “new” on Airbnb. It’s the exact same orchard retreat with the same host (Asia) and the same experience guests loved—just a fresh listing ID.
Our track record (pre-relist):
• Previously Top 3 most wish-listed Airbnbs in Australia
• Featured by leading outlets (including Time Out and The Local Project)
• Years of five-star feedback and repeat guests who call it a “hidden gem” in the Blue Mountains
If you’re seeing no reviews here, that’s why—not because we’re new.
Be one of our founding reviewers on this refreshed listing and we’ll leave a little welcome treat to say thank you.
Step into The Machinery Shed at Logan Brae Orchard, a private retreat where rustic charm meets modern luxury. The open-plan living area is light, spacious, and inviting, with a ceiling of fairy lights creating a magical atmosphere. Relax in the luxurious bathroom, enjoy a full kitchen, and sleep soundly in the king-size bed.
Outside, a firepit awaits under the stars, and inside, the wood fire is ready to keep you cozy. Explore the property at your leisure — help yourself to the kitchen garden and fresh eggs from the free-roaming chickens, wander among 6,000 apple trees, and witness the orchard in its full glory: rows of blossoms in spring and bountiful apples in autumn.
