This is a beautiful, well appointed fully self contained cottage located on a Bellingen 120 acre hobby farm. It has two bedrooms, sleeping 6 people, and two bathrooms. All household linen is provided.
Verandas wrap around the cottage, and are sun-drenched throughout the day in winter, shaded in summer, with a very large, covered front veranda. Expansive and spectacular mountain and valley views will keep you on the veranda for hours at a time. Gardens have been designed with an emphasis on bird attracting plants.
The living room has a fireplace, ceiling fans and air conditioning. There is a flat screen digital TV with Netflix installed and a DVD player. NBN WIFI is free in the cottage. The kitchen has a full sized stove and fridge, microwave and there is a gas BBQ on the veranda. You will only need to bring food and personal effects. There is an attached laundry with washing machine and dryer. The cottage was extensively upgraded at the end of 2019.
There is an ensuite to the main bedroom, and the main bathroom has both a large shower and a laundry tub.
It's a perfect place for children - half a kilometre away from the road, not near any water source, well away from neighbours and surrounded by a large flat lawn - a perfect playground for active children (and adults).
Small dogs (under 10kgs) are welcome but please confirm first. You must clean up after your dog, for the comfort of yourselves and other guests. Dogs are not permitted on furniture or in beds for health reasons. If there are indications that this has occurred, you will be charged $50 per dog per day for your stay. The cottage is only a five minute drive from Bellingen, and is well off the road on top of a hill. The cottage offers peace, privacy and an opportunity to get away from it all. But not so far away that you can't access the cafes, restaurants and shops of Bellingen when you want to.

From the moment we drived up the tree lined driveway we were in awe of the serenity and calmness of the environment and to view our accommodation in front of us was amazing. A very old quaint cottage. Inside the cottage had a cosy vibe and on the deck we had a lovely view of mountains and the well kept farm. We would recommend for anyone who wants to do very little or explore to stay for a night or three.
Fernridge cottage is perfect in every way a cottage should be! Warm, cosy and just a pleasure to stay in! Judy is great, the small homely touches really make you feel welcome!We will be staying again!
We had very peaceful and very private stay in the cottage. We enjoyed nature and quitness of the location. Cottage provides everything you need for holidays in the nature .
Very happy with our stay. Well stocked with everything needed, and with quality products. All our needs were accommodated, and hosts always friendly. The view from the back deck is stunning, and the town close by. We enjoyed a swim daily in the pool, and would love to stay again.
We did not see the host, amenities were good The only thing we did not like was the rock hard bed and pillows which did not give us a good nights sleep.
We had a wonderful stay at Fernridge. The house was immaculate and comfortable providing all the amenities we needed for our 12 night stay. Judy takes extra care in ensuring her guests are well looked after. There is so much to do in the area with great beaches and other sights. Thank you Judy for providing a relaxing and wonderful stay.
We booked this cottage for three nights. It was amazing, beautiful and comfortable on the inside with the bonus of a big veranda looking out on to the mountains. It’s set in its own grounds so very peaceful but close enough to go to Bellingen if you want some hustle and bustle.
Would highly recommend this property.

Thank you Griet for your lovely comment. We enjoyed having you here and hopefully you may be able to join us here again one day.

Very comfortable accommodation with highlights being the huge verandah furnished with comfy couch and chairs looking out over the beautiful countryside and indoor fireplace to snuggle around on a cool night. The night sky was also fantastic!
