Located just over an hour from Brisbane in the lush, leafy area of Bellthorpe, the Cottage is nestled in the green hills on a working farm, complete with its own rainforest, waterfall and resident wildlife.

With 400 peaceful acres, the timber cottage is a great place to get away from it all and take in the atmosphere. Accommodation in the cottage is self catering with wide verandahs, a well equipped kitchen, queen size bed, single bed in a separate room, wood heater.

Check out the wild life, discover the rainforest, take in the sounds of nature, rest at the waterfalls, take a walk around and explore, tour the district or just sit back and relax, but whatever you do, you'll enjoy the surroundings.

Where?
At Bellthorpe, in the hills, between Maleny and Woodford, Queensland.
1 1/4 hours from Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

BELLTHORPE COTTAGE:
Over 100 years ago, part of the property was opened up to become a dairy farm until some 25 years ago when beef cattle became the main agricultural pursuit. The remaining three quarters is natural rainforest and adjoins Bellthorpe National Park. The property is now a hide away retreat, well away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Walking tracks on the farm will take you through the paddocks, to the creek, rainforest, waterfall, Bellthorpe National Park boundary and to glimpses of the Mary Valley. All this and you are only just over an hour from Brisbane and half an hour to Maleny.

Thank you Bellthorpe Stay for putting stars in my eyes!
We were surrounded by tall trees, colourful birds and golden silence. We enjoyed creating pottery on our private patio. Explored bush trails and soaked in all the wonder of Bellthorpe Stays. We will visit again. Cheers, Nat Yates
