SLOW STAYS

Just as a home is more than four walls and a roof over your head, Bellingen Farm House blurs the lines of your average farm stay. A curated crescendo of vintage furniture and decor, organic linens, and recycled building materials, it’s a destination unto itself, where reconnecting with friends and family happens as much around the bonfire on the organic and biodynamic farm and orchard as it does inside the charming 100-year-old farmhouse. Light pours in through vintage casement windows while oversized doors open the space to the outdoors where you can shower under the stars and cool off in the concrete-tank plunge pool. There’s a fenced yard, trampoline, swings and a treehouse for little wildlings but we bet they’ll be more interested in the horses, sheep, miniature Pygmy goats, Labradoodle and free-range chooks.
