We spent three nights at the Bellbird Bach and had a fabulous time. Instructions are very clear, beds are comfortable, and the place had everything we needed. The heating systems are very good and kept us comfortable despite the spring storm. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. The lake is a short walk away.
What an absolute beautiful spot. Our host was so welcoming and gave clear instructions. The property is so well set up and has clear instructions throughout. The heating systems were great. Close to everything all while feeling private. This property is now in our top 3. Clean, well presented and great location. Thanks again

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. I am pleased you enjoyed it and had a great time. I look forward to welcoming you back at any time.
Our 3rd stay at Bellbird! The perfect location, a gorgeous wee forest walk from the lake. Comfy bed, lovely warm fire with alternate heating means. The wifi has improved greatly and we even enjoyed some netflix. Roomy, we wanted for nothing.
This is a well designed property and a very well run vacation rental. The place is beautiful, has everything you could possibly need, and the owner provided detailed instructions. I would highly recommend this place!
