BELLINGEN CONVERTED CHURCH on the river

Jody & Daniel make the getaway feel like a home away from home! There’s something to keep all ages busy from canoes to board games!

We had a very enjoyable 1 week stay at the Converted Church. Perfectly positioned a short drive from Bellingen’s many great dining options in one direction, or the beautiful beaches in the other.The house was very well appointed with a quality kitchen with all the tools you need to cook up a storm. One of the highlights of our stay was sitting down to dinner in the outdoor living/dining area - the view of the gardens, river and rural outlook coupled with the thoughtfully designed lighting created a memorable atmosphere. Jody and Daniel were the best hosts you could hope for. Talked us through all the essentials, shared their advice on local dining and sightseeing and were very welcoming to our children, inviting them to help feed the chooks, and even baked bread together! They operate a great local business, Bellingen Canoe Adventures, from the river on the property - we had a lot of fun on the rapids adventure, Daniel shared some amazing photos he captured of us on the adventure.Bellingen’s a beautiful town and this is the perfect base to explore it or just relax at the house - keen to return.

Everything was perfect. The house is amazing and has more than one could want! The gardens and the river are stunning. Daniel and Jody are wonderful hosts and the canoeing was an absolute bonus!

WOW! What a place - a truly unique and inspiring home with the most incredible outlook. As the owner lives onsite and runs a kayaking business from the same property we had issues around privacy, with a couple of kayakers walking into the downstairs bedroom asking whether that is where they should be changing their clothes! There is also a no-key policy for the back door of the property, which given the high rate of strangers walking through the backyard was a little disconcerting. If security and privacy weren't an issue we would book this property again!
