A new property management business has started in Orange with a goal to encourage more people to visit and stay in the Central West.

Peter Bromley has established Book Regional in Orange, however the business which supports short term accommodation also canvas’s other surrounding towns.

“I’ve been looking after B and Bs for two years now, just on the side,” Mr Bromley said of his decision to start the business.

He said he moved to the region from Sydney five and a half years ago and saw the number of people who visited places such as Orange, Bathurst as well as smaller surrounding communities.

He said there were some beautiful old homes in Orange and he thought why not get more people to visit the region, “just so people can experience the Central West and what is has to offer”.

“At the moment we’ve got 13 [homes], and we’ve got more coming,” Mr Bromley said.

He said some of those homes were previously contracted out for mine workers.
