Excellent communication and wonderful cabin- more spacious, modern and well-equipped than you’d think- given the rustic setting :) Beautiful area and perfect for walking and relaxing. Very helpful and friendly hosts.

Stunning getaway for lovers of privacy, walking, rainforest, birdlife and stars!
We were exceptionally pleased with this property. The drive in is spectacular as you wind between ghost gum forests and rainforest. Super easy going owners and Dodge accommodated our little Cairn Terriers and all things self contained were there including a great bed and linens, shower and woodfire heater. They provide much information on the local flora and fauna, and have worked hard to provide and maintain numerous marked walks - leading to secret waterfalls or high ridge lines with spectacular views. All the basics for 'self-contained' were provided, full size fridge a bonus, games and the fabulous bird feeders off the deck were highly entertaining. With 3 x A4 pages of the 'local birds to spy' we managed about 6!We most especially loved having our two Cairn Terriers Milo and Smudgee. I'm moderately disabled and found the cabin great (two small steps) and walks excellent for as much as Milo (14) and I could manage. We've already convinced two couples (twitchers) who love their walking and all things birds to book a break and we'll most certainly be back soon. Hopefully with a group of friends as there is plenty of accommodation all with private aspects. What was wrong, surely something ...OK they need an oven mit!!! Truly that's it.

Great weekend getaway
We had a lovely time staying at Bellthorpe. Beautiful countryside and lovely clean cottage to stay at. The fire kept us warm on the cold nights. And our sons favorite thing was feeding the birds and watching all the different kinds. Thanks for a great long weekend!

Fantastic - a must stay location!
We loved our stay at Bellthorpe. The cabin was wonderfully appointed and the nature walks were so scenic. All the better because we could take our 4-legged friend.
