Five 1970s townhouses in the center of Orange, NSW, have been converted into short-stay accommodation [1].
The project, known as Bon Bon, aims to provide new and diverse accommodation options for visitors to the region. By transforming overlooked architecture from the 1970s, the development creates a modern lodging experience in a central location.
According to reports, the renovation project focused on updating the same-style townhouses to create a cohesive collection of rental properties. The properties are now operational as of April 21, 2026 [1].
The transformation of these five [1] townhouses into stylized accommodation allows for a more varied range of stays in the center of the city. This shift in the local lodging market reflects a trend of repurposing old residential buildings to meet the increasing demand for short-term rentals.
As the previously overlooked buildings are now integrated into the same-style collection, the center of Orange continues to evolve its tourism infrastructure. The project emphasizes the design elements of the 1970s era while updating them for contemporary guest needs.
“Five 1970s townhouses in the center of Orange, NSW, have been converted into short-stay accommodation.”
The conversion of residential townhouses into short-stay accommodation indicates a growing trend of adaptive reuse in regional Australian towns. By repurposing existing 1970s townhouses, developers are expanding the capacity for tourist lodging without the need for new construction, which can often be slower and more expensive in central urban areas.
