This idyllic cottage is nestled on an eight-acre biodynamic working farm in Bellingen, New South Wales, only five minutes from Bellingen town and is perfect for an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cottage is a light and airy open plan design with two bedrooms and one bathroom and can accommodate four glampers easily. There is room for extra guests if required. The main bedroom comes with a queen-size bed and the second bedroom has twin beds. In the bathroom, there is a sink, a toilet, a shower, a bathtub, and laundry facilities. Linen, towels, and bathroom essentials are provided.

In the open plan living area, glampers can kick off their shoes and relax after an action-packed day exploring the bush trails. There are comfy sofas, a television, a DVD player, a collection of DVDs, with plenty of books, games, and children's toys. Here, glampers can enjoy a movie night or choose a record and listen to the sounds of their favorite band while enjoying a meal at the dining table. The fully-equipped kitchen comes with everything needed to prepare family favorites, including a gas stove, an oven, a refrigerator/freezer, a blender, a stovetop, a coffeemaker, and all the necessary pantry essentials. Other amenities include air conditioning, fans, heating, and a slow combustion fireplace.

Outside, there is a table with chairs and several outdoor daybeds where glampers can savor a morning cup of coffee as the surrounding nature provides a soothing soundtrack. There is an outdoor fire pit and a barbecue, perfect for those afternoon or evening cookouts. Additionally, glampers can explore a network of trails that are easily accessed from the farm, or help feed the chickens and collect eggs, as well as order a box of fresh produce from the hosts.

This is a funky renovated shed offering guests a 'budget-friendly' alternative on the host's farm allowing everyone to enjoy what they have to offer here. The shed sleeps five and has an open plan living space with the main bed and slow combustion fireplace. One bedroom has a set of bunk beds and the other a single bed. The hosts use this shed for themselves so some of their belongings are on display.

The kitchen and bathroom are located outside undercover and make for a memorable experience as glampers can enjoy being outdoors and cooking and bathing under the stars. The shed is fully insulated with ceiling fans, air conditioning, and a fireplace. There is a lovely enclosed verandah for outdoor dining and a BBQ. There is no TV/DVD or Wi-Fi, so guests may want to download their favorite shows and bring them. The hosts have some books, games, and toys for guests and their children to enjoy.

The shed is located beside the main chicken house and feed sheds, there are no roosters to disturb guest's sleep, but privacy is impacted as the hosts feed the animals out near the front of the shed each morning and they access their equipment when needed. The hosts are mindful not to impact on privacy, but if privacy is an issue then they suggest this is not the best property for guests.

Guests are able to help the hosts feed farm animals each morning and collect eggs, and they offer a trampoline, a tree house, and swings for children to enjoy. The hosts have a fully stocked kitchen with all the basic cooking essentials and supply all linen, towels, bath mats, and tea towels.

The farm has two dogs, three horses, three goats, two sheep, and numerous heritage chickens free ranging on the farm.

Environmentally-friendly soaps and laundry detergent are provided and guests are asked to use those.
