We stayed for a week at the lovely cottage and ended up extending our stay by an extra night at the end, because it was so special. We enjoyed beautiful views from the outside table in the mornings over a long breakfast and coffees. At night there was a mystic haze that gave us sense of walking on the cloud. The cottage literally has everything you need to the smallest of things and we didn't feel the need to leave for a couple of days at all with Lisa's quality breakfast supplies and incredibly relaxing serene surroundings. Pot belly fire kept us warm inside, outdoor bath tub during the sunset is just magic and the fire pit was such a nice addition once the sun went down.
Once we did start to feel like venturing out, there are plenty of beautiful drives and walks nearby. Highly recommend getting a canoe to the Raleigh Winery and booking lunch there at the end. Plenty of eateries in Bellingen. Cedar bar over a glass of wine an a cheeseboard was amongst our favourites.
