Great place to stay for the family, well thought-out space. Easy walking distance to the water and main street.

This was our fourth stay at Misty River Lodge and won’t be our last. My family, including our little Jack Russell Terrier, loves Helen and Craig’s place. I especially love seeing how the gardens have evolved. We enjoy visiting the beaches up and down the coast — Scotts Head is a favourite — and we love to find new places to eat. Coffs Harbour is only a 45 minute drive north and South West Rocks is just 30 minutes south, so it’s a really central location and close to the highway but so quiet and peaceful. The bird song is relaxing and if you’re an early riser, you might even see the local swamp wallaby down near the creek. We were treated to fresh quail eggs, deliciously sweet tomatoes and tasty vegetables from the garden. As Helen said when we arrived… “Welcome home!” … because it does feel like a home away from home.

Absolutely stunning location and home we only stayed a night but it was loverly and clean. Would love to come back for longer stay

This was a really peaceful stay and still quite close to town. We enjoyed seeing many kangaroos close to the cabin. The cabin was cosy with very comfortable beds. Brad and Lori were great hosts and very prompt in their communications. We had an awesome dinner based on their recommendation. Looking forward to returning.

Loved our stay at Casa las Valla. It was such a beautiful peaceful home. The beds were comfy the house had a real homey feel and it was big enough for the whole extended family. The hosts went above and beyond and absolutely made us feel comfortable and welcome. Country living only a short drive to the beach it was perfect. We will be back 😊

We had a truly lovely time in this quiet and beautiful location. The surroundings were stunning, and it had everything we needed. Given that it was Christmas, it was a very thoughtful gesture from Karen to provide a Christmas tree and festive decorations, as we didn’t have room to bring our own. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials for cooking our meals, plus many thoughtful touches that made us feel completely at home.

The home was lovely. Really spacious for what we needed. The location couldn't have been better for us as we brought our dog and there's a dog friendly beach about 2 minutes away. The bedrooms are well spread out and the kitchen is functional. But the best part was communication from the host which was both prompt and helpful.

Such a beautiful Easter weekend! Our dog and son loved the huge garden which was ideal for the egg hunting too. Surrounding area and views were also stunning. We will definitely try to return to this house again at a later date 😊 x

Home away from home. Very peaceful, close to the beach and town, everything you need with comfy beds and a great front porch area.

This is a fantastic studio with an incredible blend of retro and industrial touches. It also boasts a full sized kitchen except for the mini fridge. It also has a great selection of DVDs to pick from that we couldnt help but to contribute to, to help fill out the collection even more. The studio is 5 minute walk from the main street so its a quiet location while remaining close to the centre of town. Quite possibly the perfect location for staying in Bellingen. Highly recommend

Shannon our host was extremely welcoming and approachable. Studio was extremely clean with Smeg Appliances, added bonuses, coffee pods, tea, hot chocolate, milk. Shannon provided lovely gifts ., we felt like we were staying at a friend’s house. Highly recommended. Aanuka Boat House best coffee. Great spot to relax with a cocktail or two.

Daphne was extremely welcoming & helpful, the apartment was spacious & clean, the pool was a bonus with a toddler, the grounds were beautiful & lovely to see some animals and location was perfect as we had family in Urunga.

Such a cute and cozy place to stay for a few day get away. Me and my partner loved it there. Bed is amazing, haven’t had such a good sleep for a while. Unfortunately it was raining non stop, when we visited so couldn’t enjoy the outside area, but it seems amazing. Elisa had left us a little welcome treat which was really nice of her. Would definitely recommend!

Love the house! Neat and clean. And the host is very responsive and friendly. Highly recommended.

We had the most beautiful stay! The bathroom was really clean and the general layout was just lovely for a couple to enjoy the surroundings. At one with nature and the wildlife. The views are stunning and its walking distance to the centre of Bellingen which was ideal. The hill felt like great exercise too! Would definetly go back!

Thanks so much Kevin and Robbie for having us stay again at the The Nest😊We had such a lovely relaxing tranquil time and it was really special as always 😊The bed was so comfortable and amazing clean white sheets like sleeping in the clouds😊Waking up to beautiful bird song 🎶 just lovely 🥰 Great to have visits from Tom he is so affectionate ❤️ Thanks for the yummy breakfast cereal bread and jams and the beautiful fresh flowers from your amazing garden🌺 You guys are the best❤️❤️ Karen Pippa and Ruby💗😊

A delightful place to stay for a few days. Make the most of the drive up and over the mountain by settling in. The stylish bungalow is immaculately appointed, so you can quickly rustle up a gourmet lunch, set the locally made upsourced pallet table and Voila! Wine and Dine! Grab a book and pop the banana chair on 45, kicking back until your fire pit calls the evening of bird calls and distant valley noises. A birdsong in the early morning just means a sleep in and coffee at your leisure. Take your time here!

It was a pleasure to stay at Yasmin and Jordan’s rainforest oasis. This is a lovely hideaway tucked back in paradise! We enjoyed our stay immensely and felt like every detail of the property was carefully curated and well thought out. This house is truly beautiful inside and out! You can tell that this is a space created with intentionality, from the art study to the small, thoughtful touches like local soaps and loose leaf teas. We wish we could have stayed for more nights!

Nothing to say except 5 star! If you are looking for a beautiful peaceful place to stay, with extra charm and beautifully designed, then look no further. To my mind the location is perfect; it's quiet and tranquil but in a 5 minute drive, you are in Crescent Head with all it has to offer. I didn't want to leave, Kim even gave us a freshly picked pineapple! Sarah was a great and helpful communicator. The house had everything you need, and a very comfy couch and bed. Just be aware there is no Wifi.

Absolutely loved this cozy little cabin near Emerald Beach! It’s got everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay — air con, internet, a TV for when you just want to chill, and even a fully equipped kitchen to whip up a quick meal. It’s super close to Look At Me Now Headland, which is perfect for a morning walk or sunset view. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and homely, and I genuinely love it. Would definitely come back again!

This cabin was just perfect. It was spotless and looked just like the photos, but somehow even better. It was so relaxing and the spa, fire pit and hot shower was immaculate. Definitely coming back. It felt like absolute luxury there, we loved it. It’s well worth the price and it has everything you need for a perfect night away or even a week. We are so impressed. Thank you Harrison and Erika!

We really enjoyed our stay, a casual idyllic setting quite a way from the hustle and bustle. Our host, Bill loved to stop for a chat when we were out for a walk or enjoying the scenery of the river but never intrusive. Truly relaxing experience being unplugged from technology for a few days!!
