Bellbird Studio is a free standing cabin sheltered beneath a riparian forest canopy situated at the base of Kenilworth Bluff. The property is on the outskirts of Kenilworth in the Heart of the Mary Valley. This is a birdwatchers paradise only 40 mins from Noosa beaches and 20 mins from the famous Eumundi & Yandina Markets.

The studio was originally built by an artist and has been recently renovated to provide a unique "Glamping" experience. Imagine yourself wrapped in our fluffy bathrobes in front of the studio's internal wood heater or watching the stars come out around the outdoor fire.

There is a heated spa and alfresco "bush" shower located on the covered northern deck with private bush views. There is also a flushing septic toilet, indoor shower and vanity on the eastern deck.

The king ensemble with 100% cotton linen will ensure you a luxurious and deep sleep. The internal kitchenette combined with a gas BBQ with side burner on the deck will meet your holiday culinary needs. You have a choice of inside, deck or fireside dining and wining.

We have approximately 30 acres of paddocks & bush available for you and your off leash pets to explore including access to "The Bluff" for the more adventurous. It's been rumored that Greg Postle used to camp here seeking solitude and subjects for his famous paintings as a resident of Kenilworth. A short marked track commencing from the back of the studio takes you into some of the last remaining privately owned original rain forest in this area containing massive buttress fig trees.

You can tour the Blackall range visiting Mapleton, Flaxton, Monteville and Maleny's many craft shops, gallery's, winerys and restaurants. Then you could continue to the Australian Zoo (20mins from Maleny & 45mins from Kenilworth). Perhaps continue to the Glass House Mountains returning via Woodford and Conondale to Kenilworth.

Many of our guests have enjoyed visiting the small country towns, and their markets, ( Kandanga, Imbil, Dagun,Brooloo and Ammamoor ) of the Mary Valley on their way to Gympie (40mins) and Tin Can Bay (80mins). Ride The Mary Valley Rattler from Imbil to Gympie and back for a different view of the Mary Valley.

The Sunshine Coast is famous for it's markets and of course there is always the Coolum, Noosa, Maroochydoor & Mooloolaba beaches, rivers and lakes to spend the day at. Kenilworth is surrounded by the magnificent National Parks of Noosa, Mapleton and Conondale which provide many walks.

Your get away at the Bellbird Studio can be as relaxing or as active as you want it to be. The possibilities are endless and the choice is yours.

Pets are most welcome if organised with owner prior to stay. There is a $10 per night charge for pet stays. Pets may stay inside if supervised by their owners. The decks provide a safe and secure covered area when owners need to leave their pets behind. Please bring your own firewood if you would like a fire.

Absolutely Flawless Cabin
I wasn't sure what to expect from this studio, as VRBO listing are sometimes misleading, but John and Kym were spot on with their description of the Bellbird Studio. Nice and private, quiet and dark at night, lots of birds, and not too far from all things Sunshine Coast so long as you have a car. All the amenities were as stated; very pleasant! We cooked almost all our meals for a week at the cabin. Thanks to the both of you for an excellent experience!

Perfection!
What a fantastic find! Secluded and private in a beautiful rural setting. Our dog - Bluey had a ball. A fenced backyard with a outdoor spa, outdoor shower, fireplace and bush setting. We will be returning. Thankyou John & Kim.

Cabin under the canopy of the trees
I enjoyed the time I was there , the fire place was well used as it was cool under the canopy of the trees. I would go back one day but this time I would go in the summer .

Why they chose this property

We were holidaying at cotton tree caravan park & had a drive to Kenilworth where we had one of our first dates camping. We were looking in the Real estate window & decided to look at a couple of properties while we were there.

As I drove up the long drive way with the real Estate Agent I thought "Manderlay" and had to have it. I was surprised John felt the same way so we signed up that day.The Kenilworth Bluff is a magnificent backdrop for the property with a direct walking track. The Seclusion was what we were looking for with a wide variety of wildlife sheltered in extensive forest & bush. Originally we had a vineyard on each side of us with tasting cellars which is how we came by the name of the property. Kenilworth is only 4kms away and had everything we were looking for. Once a week we do our shopping at Noosa and have fish & chips on the river bank or beach.

What makes this property unique

The Studio is the only cabin on the property so you do not have to share the 30 acres with other guests. There is a riparian forest between the studio & our house which provides privacy to yourselves from our house. The road front is 800 meters away so your dogs are safe from road hazards. We have just installed air conditioning.
