Lovely property amongst ancient trees, a short walk to Sassafras village. Would live to come back and enjoy the fire pit in cooler months.

Hi Erika, we'd love to host you again in the cooler months - Winter in the Hills can be foggy, chilly, but a beautiful atmosphere - and perfect for a get together around the fire pit! Warm regards, Valley Ranges Getaways.
The property and location were lovely and we saw a family of deer just a few metres away on our last morning. The parking is a bit tricky (but managable:) ).
Thanks so much!
Yes, we loved the area. Many lovely cafes to choice from, museums, walks, just so peaceful and picturesque. Quaint shops to browse and purchase from. It rained our first night and light rain part of the Saturday but you could still get out and about. The rainy weather made it more enjoyable for us and our 12 yr old had and a wonderful time. Perfect for adults and children. We will definitely be back and loved Belle Cottage!

Thanks so much Helen! We hope we can host you again at Belle Cottage soon :)
Very comfortable and we felt well looked after.
The house was well stocked with board games, pantry items, cleaning products etc and we just felt they had thought of everything.
The cottage had a cozy feel but was plently spacious for our family of 4.
We felt the owners put a lot of though and consideration for their guest's. 5 stars!

Hello Narelle, thank you so much for your lovely reveiw of our Belle Cottage. So pleased you all enjoyed your time there. Warm wishes, Valley Ranges Getaways.
The property was comfortable and a beautiful place to stay. It was a beautiful and clean house with a lovely view and gorgeous surroundings!
However, the one downfall was the very steep driveway and very narrow street made parking very difficult. Mind you we do not have a four-wheeled drive but without this type of vehicle, I cannot imagine navigating this driveaway without issue. The property owners sent someone to help us as we experienced car issues because of this issue, which helped alleviate a lot of stress. I definitely think it is important to be aware of this and prepared for it to avoid anxiety or any issues because of it.

Thanks for your time leaving a review Natalie, we were glad to help you with the driveway and we will adjust information for future guests to assist with navigating the driveway. We're glad you enjoyed the time otherwise :)
