My kids and I had a fantastic stay! The backyard was fenced so I could let the kids play easily, and they could see all the animals through the fences which they loved. Susan’s daughter, Sahara, let the kids join her in the morning to feed the animals and in the afternoon to collect the eggs. Thanks Sahara!! The house is down the hill and nestled amongst the trees so we were surrounded by birdsong (there was even a little nest with tiny baby birds in one of the trees out the back). I am missing the kitchen already and having the big open space for playing and chilling out. And of course, Bellingen is just beautiful!!
