Bellthorpe Stays

This farm property is stunning, with several well‑appointed cabins set apart for privacy. Extensive walking paths link everything and extend deep into the rainforest that surrounds the open farm areas on all sides. If you’re after a peaceful stay with hiking, creeks, and gorgeous views, this place delivers. The real draw, though, is the wildlife and birds, especially those tied to the rainforest—a true birder’s mecca. Regent Bowerbirds, Catbirds, Wompoo Doves, Magnificent Riflebirds, and more call this spot home; the rainforest species are drawn to the open margins, making them easier to spot and photograph. The owner is a knowledgeable naturalist and a delight. Highly recommended for birding and tranquil recreation.

“Excellent facilities, great location and friendly owners.”

Breakfast wasn’t provided, but Bellthorpe Stays arranged a local contact who supplied an excellent breakfast and cheese platter for a reasonable sum. I should have booked a longer stay.

“A wonderful hide-away in the rainforest!”

A wonderful hide‑away in the rainforest! The cabins are thoughtfully appointed, positioned for privacy, and offer great views of the surrounding forest. We had everything we needed, including wood for a cozy fire, and David shared great tips about where to find particular species of birds. Phone reception was limited inside the cabin but fine outside on the deck.

“Thoroughly enjoyable, rainforest walks, cabin and hosts”

We loved everything about Bellthorpe Stays; the hosts were genuinely lovely people, both dogs were great—one even walked with us to the ponds. The Rainforest walk was fantastic, and we enjoyed the many birds around our cabin, capturing great photos. The cabin itself was immaculate and had everything you could need: a washing machine, stove, large fridge, books, a fireplace, and much more. No complaints.

“So many places to explore , friendly hosts , cabins v comfy and the fireplace a bonus . . 3”

The surroundings were amazing, with secluded rainforest creeks and plenty of birds. The cabins were spotless and cozy, and I’m already planning my next visit. Nothing to dislike.
