Bellbird Bach, a home away from home, was a lovely respite for us. Clean, tidy, and adorable.

The house is built for family and comfort, with a wonderful yard for kids, a delightful fairy garden, and a cute playhouse. Our grandkids loved it. We greatly enjoyed the beach and the spectacular Ashley River estuary.

Kick back and relax!

Always a great stay at Bellbird, everything is set up so nicely, alot of thought put in to what you need for a relaxing stay. We really appreciate being allowed to stay here, kids have a great time on the swings, bubbles and various games while parents get to relax on the deck. Beach and playground a short stroll away, perfect!

We love this place!

2nd time we have stayed. Great communication with Jess, check in process was a breeze. We were prepared and brought another fan with us so we had two to use (one already in house). Great location, great facilities - has everything you could need! Especially great for kids is the outside area with sandpit and playhouse. You can sit on deck and let them play. Books and colouring in materials also a bonus. Can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be booking again.

Home away from Home

We have absolutely loved it. This place is well looked after and there is a love for detail with everything provided. My two daughters had a blast and loved spending time in the bach as much as on the beach, the playground nearby or in Pegasus. Would definitely come back.

Summer vacation

Bellbird Bach was everything and more than we could have hoped for. It's position was perfect for everything we wanted to do such as a day trips to Hanmer Springs, Orana Park and the beach. Our host Jess was fantastic in her communication and provided answers to all our questions. The property was perfect for our boys who loved the swing and playhouse. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the deck for relaxing and reading our books. Bellbird Bach is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a family holiday. (The only thing that would have made it better was a fan in the main bedroom and an iron, but that's more on me for bringing clothes that need ironing, I mean seriously who iron's on holiday?!)

Bellbird Bach you little beauty

We love staying at Bellbird bach. This is our 2nd visit and it was as good as we remembered it. Charlie (our spaniel) loves it particularly how close it is to the beach. Comfy, well appointed and homely - an awesome place.
