If you are looking for funky and fun accomodation that is close to the heart of Bellingen then Fi and Simons little cabin is the perfect place.
The cabin is basic but very comfortable. The main area has a small fridge, kettle and toaster. The living space has retro lounges where you can relax and listen to one of the records from the extensive collection. There is no running water so if you use the convenient outdoor mulching toilet you may still want to head up to the main house to wash your hands. In saying this the eco dunny is clean and does not smell at all.
The sleeping arrangement is fun with a loft area in the cabin accessed by a ladder. Channel your inner child and enjoy the queen bed with ample bedding and pillows.
If you want a flushing toilet and shower you need to walk up to the main house where the bathroom is located in the laundry. Plenty of hot running water and the shower is again basic but does the job. There are no towels provided so make sure you BYO.
I stayed in Bellingen as part of a business trip and needed to wash and secure my work vehicle. Simon could not have been more accomodating and helpful with both the check in and giving me access to the backyard and hose to give my car a tub. I was able to park off street right next to the cabin.
A special shout out has to go to Oscar (Fi and Simons son). This little champion was the perforce host and made me feel like one of the family. Ask him about his picks on where to eat in Bello and you won’t be disappointed 😀.
In conclusion, this is a great place to stay if you want to be in waking distance of beautiful Bellingen and be hosted by an even more beautiful family! Thanks again guys and I wish you all the best.
