Fernridge Farm Cottage is a 100 year old cottage, built by one of the original settler families in the Bellingen district. The cottage faces north toward the Bellinger River and the mountains of the Dorrigo escarpment, and offers absolute privacy.

Fernridge Farm Cottage is:

  • Fully self contained, with fireplace, airconditioning, and ceiling fans
  • Two bedrooms, sleeping six people comfortably featuring home-grown alpaca doonas
  • In a commanding position on top of a hill with absolutely stunning rural valley and mountain views
  • Enveloped by wrap-around verandas, with the front deck recently doubled in size (not shown in the photos) to give ample outside living space; shady in summer, sun-soaked in winter
  • Surrounded by a large flat lawn, ideal for children and the young at heart
  • An alpaca stud where you can see baby alpacas, tame deer and plenty of birds and other wildlife
  • Chook heaven; your children will love collecting eggs for us, and watching busy little chickens scurrying around
  • A serene, quiet environment ideal for families or anyone needing time off from a busy life
  • Absolutely safe for children - half a kilometre off the road and away from water sources
  • Four kilometres (5 minutes' drive) west of Bellingen along Waterfall Way, the road to Dorrigo and Armidale
  • Pet friendly; we welcome your dog or cat, or in fact any animal, but please check first
