About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fernridge Farm Cottage

This is a beautiful, well appointed fully self contained cottage located on a Bellingen 120 acre hobby farm. It has two bedrooms, sleeping 6 people, and two bathrooms. All household linen is provided.

Verandas wrap around the cottage, and are sun-drenched throughout the day in winter, shaded in summer, with the front veranda recently doubled in size and covered. Expansive and spectacular mountain and valley views will keep you on the veranda for hours at a time. Gardens have been designed with an emphasis on bird attracting plants.

The living room has a fireplace, ceiling fans and air conditioning. There is a flat screen digital TV with Netflix installed and a DVD player. NBN WIFI is free in the cottage. The kitchen has a full sized stove and fridge, microwave and there is a gas BBQ on the veranda. You will only need to bring food and personal effects. There is an attached laundry with washing machine and dryer. The cottage was extensively upgraded at the end of 2019.

There is an ensuite to the main bedroom, and the main bathroom has both a large shower and a laundry tub.

It's a perfect place for children - half a kilometre away from the road, not near any water source, well away from neighbours and surrounded by a large flat lawn - a perfect playground for active children (and adults).

Small dogs, or indeed any pets, are welcome but please confirm first.

The cottage is only a five minute drive from Bellingen, and is well off the road on top of a hill. The cottage offers peace, privacy and an opportunity to get away from it all. But not so far away that you can't access the cafes, restaurants and shops of Bellingen when you want to.

Peaceful little getaway
This cottage is in the perfect spot, only minutes from town, but with the feel that you are very much away from it all. We loved sitting on the verandah having dinner and drinks, and our 5 children loved the flat lawn area and going for little nature walks around the property. The cottage was very cosy and clean, would definitely recommend to other families. Check in and out was very simple and the hosts were friendly.

A little piece of paradise
We booked this cottage for three nights. It was amazing, beautiful and comfortable on the inside with the bonus of a big veranda looking out on to the mountains. It’s set in its own grounds so very peaceful but close enough to go to Bellingen if you want some hustle and bustle. Would highly recommend this property.

We love staying at the cottage, this is our third stay. The cottage is perfectly located, quiet, tranquil and sitting on the balcony is our favourite thing to do. My kids love the wildlife and front yar space. The pool is fabulous and I love the fireplace.

Very happy with our stay. Well stocked with everything needed, and with quality products. All our needs were accommodated, and hosts always friendly. The view from the back deck is stunning, and the town close by. We enjoyed a swim daily in the pool, and would love to stay again.
