We had a great stay and would happily return. The place was clean, well-maintained, and matched the listing description accurately. Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and John was responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby restaurants, cafes and shops.

Great place to stay!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Bellingen. The cottage was lovely with plenty of space, everything we needed, & close to the main street in town. The only thing we had to bring was bodywash for the shower. Check-in was easy & parking was right outside the front gate. We really enjoyed our stay.

Piece of tranquility in the middle of town

Beautifully appointed cabin in the centre of town, yet tucked away from the tourist bustle. So many things to see around the town...highly recommend the waterholes! John was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Compact apartment in the heart of town.

Ideal for a couple this place is private, well appointed and comfortable. Just a short stroll to all the fabulous eateries in town, or stay in and cook your own meal and sit outside on the deck overlooking the valley. Also an ideal location to go exploring the National Parks and waterfalls near Bellingen which is a must.

It was lovely to be amongst the trees and look out onto the valley. The location was very central to Belligen town yet not too noisy. John was very very friendly and down to earth.
