About this property
Fernridge Farm Cottage
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.

Loved the rural aspect of the cottage. The surrounding bird life was spectacular. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and the surrounding gardens well manicured. The cottage has a large main bedroom, with ensuite, and an adjoining bedroom with 2x single beds. Located close to Bellingen but far enough out of town to escape the clutter of the busy little town. I would love to stay at the cottage again the next time I visit Bellingen. RK
This gorgeous little cottage was a home away from home. The picturesque setting among the mountains and green fields was overlooked by a gorgeous large deck with outdoor lounge and huge dining table. The indoor fireplace was stacked with wood and kindling and delightfully warm for our winter getaway.The cottage sleeps up to 4 (two singles and a queen) with two bathrooms. The rooms were large and the beds and pillows were comfortable with extra blankets available (but not required). The kitchen was fully stocked with eggs, milk, coffee pods, salt and pepper grinders, cooking oil, and (always a wonderful surprise) a sharp cutting knife! We did most of our cooking at the house and ventured into Bellingen (a short 5 min drive) away for some lunch and shopping. The hosts were so accommodating, lovely and responsive and we had the most incredible two nights. Highly recommend staying here, we will certainly be back again.Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage
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.
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 a very quiet relaxing time. Even a power outage made for a more romantic evening. Everything worked and was easy to use. Comfy couch and bed. The busiest thing we did was watch the clouds go by.
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 .
Beautiful property and cottage with so much history and character, it was so lovely and cosy. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Our 1 yr old daughter loved playing hide an seek in the cottage and running free in tge front yard. We will definitely be back
Love returning to Bellingen and this house! So relaxing sitting out on the verandah looking across to the mountains with a glass of wine. Then an open fire to enchant when you retire inside
We would have no hesitation to recommend this property to family and friends. The Cottage was well maintained, perfect outside deck with a great view for an afternoon cuppa or drinks before dinner. The bbq was a handy extra to enjoy the outside eating place on the deck.
Our daughter joined us for 3 nights and she really enjoyed her stay. The Bellingen Show was on at the time, plus the perfect weather helped make the stay memorable. Rob
This cottage is in the perfect spot, only minutes from town, but with the feel that you are very much away from it all.
We loved sitting on the verandah having dinner and drinks, and our 5 children loved the flat lawn area and going for little nature walks around the property.
The cottage was very cosy and clean, would definitely recommend to other families. Check in and out was very simple and the hosts were friendly.
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.
We love staying at the cottage, this is our third stay. The cottage is perfectly located, quiet, tranquil and sitting on the balcony is our favourite thing to do. My kids love the wildlife and front yar space. The pool is fabulous and I love the fireplace.
