Great place for a bird watching or hiking trip. Lovely property with lots of walking trails. Host David was very knowledgeable and helpful. We bought all our food as it’s a bit of a drive into the closest town.

Holidaying at Bellthorpe

From the awesome welcome by the owners, their information about the area and all the activities available, my stay was everything I hoped for. The accommodation was perfect, a secluded cabin for absolute privacy with all the amenities you will need for your stay. This place is a gem if you need to get away, enjoy all nature has to offer, just relax and recoup. I couldn’t recommend Belthorpe stays highly enough.

5 stars.

Beautiful property, surrounded by wildlife. We had an amazing time. Our dog loved the walking tracks during the day and sleeping by the fire at night. Wish we could have stayed a week. So peaceful.

A quiet place to stay

We enjoyed our stay at Bellthorpe and hope to return one day. It is quite remote from the hustle and bustle of life but that’s what we wanted. It was nice to walk around the property but watch the leeches and ticks in the rainforest area. Be aware when you book that dogs must be on leash at all times. It would have been nice to have had somewhere we could have given our dog a good run without having to go off the property, but we were aware of this before we booked, so it was not a surprise.

Perfect country escape

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this rustic cottage in a beautiful country area. The cottage contains everything you you need with very comfy beds. A completely rural setting with many beautiful walking tracks. Paradise for any bird enthusiast. Thanks David and Wendy for a very enjoyable stay.

Thank you Bellthorpe Stay for putting stars in my eyes!

We were surrounded by tall trees, colourful birds and golden silence. We enjoyed creating pottery on our private patio. Explored bush trails and soaked in all the wonder of Bellthorpe Stays. We will visit again. Cheers, Nat Yates

Peaceful & Scenic

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the cottage at Bellthorpe Stays. Wendy the host was wonderfully helpful and friendly. The rainforest walks, waterfalls and bush tracks were great for exploring and we loved all the native wildlife as well as the chickens and Dodge the cattle-dog who visited is each day. We'll be back for sure!
