Testimonials

FIona was lovely with the children, and morning feed time with the animals was the highlight of our stay. I also treated myself to one of Fiona's massages and I can honestly say it was one of the best massages I have had and Fiona is obviously very experienced

Activities On The Property

Bellingen Farmstay animalsAnimal Feeding

Part of the wonder of coming to the farm is meeting our animals.  Animal feeding happens in the mornings (this may differ depending on weather and our work schedule on the farm) at 08:15, except Sunday, when we all have a sleep in. We feed the Cattle, Hens, Geese, Ducks and give the Guinea Pigs a cuddle.  Come and meet the animals and hear the wonderful stories we can tell you about them – it is easy to see Beatrix Potter got her inspirations for her wonderful stories when you spend some time with our menangerie.

The river frontage provides a wonderful Relax at Bellingen Farmstayspace to swim, fish and boat.  Boating equipment is provided and if you are really lucky, when you are swimming in the river – you may even have a visit from a dolphin or two!!  Some guests have also had great success snaring a Mudcrap or fish for dinner.  A highly recommended activity is to take one of the boats out, there are many tributaries to explore not to mention the “special times” when the sun is rising, setting or when the moon is full – its simply magic all of the time.

Other activities include:

Water Activities

Water activities include swimming and boating by kayak or canoe which are provided with our compliments.

Fishing and mudcrabbing

The Kalang River is tidal so everything you get in the ocean we get in our river.  So good fishing is at your door.  There are also a number of places to launch a boat in the area, so this is fun to explore.Canoe on the Kalang River
