Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Bellingen

What a beautiful country escape! Andrew was great at corresponding and helpful all throughout our stay. The house is beautiful and the tranquility of where it sits in the valley is truly stunning. Would highly recommend!

This was our fourth stay at Misty River Lodge and won’t be our last. My family, including our little Jack Russell Terrier, loves Helen and Craig’s place. I especially love seeing how the gardens have evolved. We enjoy visiting the beaches up and down the coast — Scotts Head is a favourite — and we love to find new places to eat. Coffs Harbour is only a 45 minute drive north and South West Rocks is just 30 minutes south, so it’s a really central location and close to the highway but so quiet and peaceful. The bird song is relaxing and if you’re an early riser, you might even see the local swamp wallaby down near the creek. We were treated to fresh quail eggs, deliciously sweet tomatoes and tasty vegetables from the garden. As Helen said when we arrived… “Welcome home!” … because it does feel like a home away from home.

Brown Dog Barn is a heavenly place to escape to. Will definitely try and stay here again.

I could not fault our stay. Wendy and Paul have provided the perfect location to escape, unwind and connect with nature. They provided everything we needed in the gorgeous cabin. To make the most of our stay, we enjoyed a massage and meditation by the creek which were blissful. We also had our meals catered for by Wendy which were 5 star quality with ample serving sizes. Everything about our stay was easy. We will definitely be back!

My partner and I absolutely adored this place. We’d move in permanently if we could! Tim provided us with all the info we needed prior to our arrival so check-in was a breeze and we were well prepared for our off-grid holiday. Highly recommend to anyone keen to spend some time in nature.

We loved our stay in a charming hideaway surrounded by forest. Helen and Jack are genuine hosts and made us feel more than welcome. We loved our 2 night stay with a lovely cosy fire. I slept so well in super comfy bed and peaceful surroundings. The cute little possums kept us entertained and its a bird watches paradise and only a short drive to Bellingen and the never never river.

We had a great time staying at Chris's place. It was so peaceful and tranquil with beautiful sunset and mountain views. The cabin was clean and well appointed with plenty of places to chill and relax. Chris was very responsive and made us feel welcome. 100% recommend to any couple looking for a place to unwind and breath the fresh mountain air.

Absolutely loved our stay. Maria was super gracious and responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. And the place itself was gorgeous! So private and surrounded by nature, the fire was cosy and soaking in the baths while the sun was going down was magical.

This is a lovely cottage with stunning rainforest views, tree ferns and mature trees, as well as an incredible creek and waterfall right on the property! Truly special. The fenced back yard and pet door made it so easy with dogs and we enjoyed the fire and bath. The bed deserves a mention as we both need a good quality mattress - not too hard as we both have shoulder issues. We really slept well. There were quite a few leeches so it’s good to check feet/shoes and puppies when entering the house. Dale and Glenn were kind and accommodating. Highly recommend this property.
