A wonderful lodge with stunning views and so much Aussie wildlife coming to visit. Tennis court and pool are also fab. It's the ultimate place to switch off and recharge.

Perfect romantic and relaxing getaway! We stayed 2 nights and did not want to leave! The cabin is gorgeous and well-equipped with many lovely little touches throughout! The views are amazing especially at sunset and in the evening, and best enjoyed in the spa! WOW! Will definitely be back again. Massive thank you to Susan who communicated so well before and during our stay. Can't wait to come back!

We had an amazing couple of days in Bela Viata - the view is second to none & the house so comfortable. It was the perfect start the new year, we enjoyed tennis, swimming, visit from animals and felt very much at home in this stunning property. susan was a pleasure to deal with.

Hard to get a better view!
The view was the biggest attraction and really is as good as the photos portray, lovely house and well appointed to keep anyone happy for a night or a whole week. I actually used the stunning backdrop to ask for my better halves hand and got engaged while we were here (Would be a shame to waste such a view!) The only detracting factors were dishes not being cleaned from previous people staying, a lot of dust to the point you could see our footprints around the house and a few little things being broken or in a state requiring repair. Probably the biggest detractor was being blamed for damage already at the house, thankfully I was able to clear that up with photos I had taken but no apology was given or any further communication from the host which is really disappointing and leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. We were going to consider the house again for use and get married up there in 2024 using the house as accommodation but the lack of response from the host and the tone of communication has led us to find a venue closer to home.

Happy Memories at Eagle Reach
It was an incredible location. We loved exploring the area and making use of the tennis/table tennis and playground amenities. Will have to come back in the summer again to use the pool. The view was stunning and it was amazing how friendly and how many wallabies/kangaroos there were. One of us even spotted an Echidna. Great hot tub and sundowner memories to boot. The house was also well organised which made using the kitchen easy. We all had a great time and will remember our two day stay for ever. Thanks, The Levene Family.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Oct 2022
We note your comments. Regrettably if you had read the booking confirmation and lodge Compendium, we suggest that you would not have had these issues. Susan has had hundreds of five-star ratings from guests over the last five years. Please note: 1. On the booking confirmation, Susan made it clear that you had requested accommodation for four adults, and accordingly she had booked 2 Adults per bedroom, and stated 2 queen rooms on the booking confirmation sent to you. Pricing was based on this booking confirmation. She also noted that the third bedroom would be locked, as it was not booked. You had the booking confirmation well before your arrival and had ample time to make any enquiries and time to change/correct the booking. The booking details were confirmed twice before your arrival. You only raised the issue of requiring extra beds after your arrival. The immediate string of text messages to Susan, after your arrival, were all answered within five minutes of each text. She arranged for the extra beds to be immediately made available. NOTE: Extra beds are always charged for – like any accommodation venue – as extra cleaning fees and linen must be covered. 2. With regards to the air conditioners and bedroom heaters, they are tied to a simple twelve (12) hour timer near the kitchen. This function is clearly displayed on a sign next to the timer button and also in the house compendium on the living room coffee table. May we suggest that if you had read either, you would not have had an issue. 3. No Wi-FI. As we are 40 km in the bush, internet is an issue and this was clearly indicated in all our communications and on our booking sites. We noted that Telstra does work, but Optus and Vodafone signals can be weak. 4. The lodge was fully cleaned before your arrival. There is a full-size broom near the kitchen and brush pan/brush under the sink. Both covered in the house compendium on the living room coffee table. We are unsure why you would require a vacuum cleaner. The Owner, Bela Vista Spa lodge.

Gorgeous views and fantastic property
Susan provided us with excellent service and was even so lovely to surprise us with a bottle of Hunter bubbles and chocolates! The weather was bad so we did not see a lot of the view but what we saw was gorgeous. We loved the big open space of the house and LOVED the wallabies that visited us every day! Hot tub was great! The house has everything just be mindful that there is no wifi and only Telstra has coverage, Optus and Vodafone don't have any coverage. We will most definitely be back, thank you Susan!

Long weekend in the clouds
Our group was very happy with the house overall and especially the amout of living space indoor and on the deck. It was especially helpful with friends visiting from neighbouring lodges whch didn't have the same indoor space available, The resort facilities were a hit with the kids (pool and playground were used). We all enjoyed taking in the wonderful view before the clouds rolled in and blocked it off for the end of our stay. Children do have to be monitored when outside due to the steep nature of the cliff at the back of the house. The kitchen had a benchtop oven, so anyone wanting to cook substantial meals will have to consider if that is suitable. However the rest of the kitchen had everyhting else we needed. We would recommend this house for a lovely retreat in the clouds and countryside, with wildlife abundant on your doorstep and plenty of activites for people to enjoy.

Beautiful cabin in the Barrington Tops Mountain. The views were amazing and the accomodation was very comfortable, clean and had everything you could possibly need for a wonderful weekend with friends. The jacazzi was great and we had so much fun on the tennis court. At the end of a lovely day we sat around the fire and sipped our wine. Perfect stay and a wonderful host.

Lovely Property & Owner
This property looks absolutely beautiful. I wish very much we had been able to stay there, but unfortunately we had a family emergency which caused us to cancel last minute. Susan was lovely, even suggesting she would attempt to re-rent the property. My only complaint was the time it took her to respond (1 day), and that there was a delay in her re-listing the property because there was no one on site to change the access codes. It was a holiday weekend, so I very much appreciate her trying at all. We hope to stay some time in the future.

It’s was over a year in the making from when I made the original booking with bushfires, floods, COVID all getting in the way. The host was totally fabulous changing my booking a few times with never a problem. The house is probably the best in the resort with absolutely everything you can think of supplies The views from the deck are outstanding as far as you can see. We had the resort pool to ourselves most of the time and sat there watching the wildlife wander by We will be back for sure

We spent 5 relaxing nights in Bela Vista. Everything about the place was amazing. The views were stunning especially at sunset time. The house is very well equipped with absolutely everything you need. We had visits from the friendly Kangaroos, and loved relaxing in the spa of an afternoon. The fire place along with AC units made the place so cosy during the cold winter nights. We will definitely be back to this beautiful place! 5 Star!!!

Pure peace and breathtaking views
Pictures don’t really do it justice the views really are breathtaking and you feel a million miles away from the city. Styling of the house is very classic but really works for the location and it has everything you need. Would be absolutely perfect for an Xmas in July around the fire! My only one area for improvement would be the temperature of the spa... a few degrees hotter needed, Couldn’t stay in long after sunset. Will definitely go again, thank you
