Tulip Cottage is a pretty little cottage in a quiet and somewhat rural setting. A place to spend a peaceful week-end. The host, a very pleasant young man named Oliver, showed us over the accommodations on arrival and, if needed, was always available to help during our stay.
A complementary bottle of wine was on the table and fresh milk, butter, eggs and cheese were in the large modern refrigerator. We like to self-cater so the large electric oven and nice wide gas cooking range were made good use of.
The house is nicely presented, clean and comfortable - and boasts 2 bathrooms which was important to our party. The beds are very comfortable. There is a large wide-screen TV with a number of streaming services available.
Outside, there is a veranda on all sides and each bedroom has its own access to the veranda and garden. For those who are interested, there are lots of birds to be seen in the garden and in the surrounding walks. Bellingen is only 10 minutes in the car and it's a very pretty drive.
On the downside, the house having been recently renovated, there was a slight "work in progress" quality about it. The outside lighting is not yet completed and, being no youngster, I struggled a little with the veranda steps as, at this point, there is no handrail.
However, these were minor matters in what was a very peaceful, pleasant and comfortable week-end in Bellingen.
Thank you Oliver!!
