ABOUT THE COTTAGE
A quiet comfortable self-contained cottage. It has a reverse cycle air-conditioner, super comfortable king size hardwood bed and a good size timber verandah nestled under a big mango tree looking north to the Dorrigo range across the Bellingen Valley & mountain views.

As your hosts we would like to ensure your stay in the area is enjoyable. If we can provide any assistance, our pole house is only 50 metres from the cottage so please give us a bell or come to our home if you need information or anything and we will do our best to help.

LOCATION
Potters Cottage is located at 8 Short Street Lane, Bellingen. It is a quiet, comfortable and fully equipped space with a good size verandah under a large old mango tree looking north past the studio to the Dorrigo ranges and Bellingen Valley. The cottage is just a minute's walk to town centre where you will find cafes, restaurants and boutique shopping. There is also a great Alternative Book shop. The property fronts the river park which is just a five minute walk to the Bellinger River. The park has picnic areas, swimming spots and more gorgeous views.

The cottage is a 20 minute drive to the Dorrigo World Heritage National Park Rainforest and only a 15 minute drive to the spectacular Never Never River in the Promised Land and is also close to Darkwood where the Bellinger flows. Urunga is a 15 minute drive where you will find beautiful quiet beaches and a boardwalk at the mouth of the Kalang and Bellinger rivers.

Bellingen is about 30 minutes drive south of Coffs Harbour airport, and about a 10 minute drive off the Pacific Highway along Waterfall Way.

Hidden gem

We had a wonderful 4-night stay at John's cottage. It is located just steps away from the main street so we were delighted to find a pasture with horses, cattle and birds just a few minutes away, leading to the river and bridge. Sitting on the deck under the mango tree was very restful, watching the lizards and birds, and listening to nature. It is a quaint yet comfortable place with everything we needed and John is a friendly host. If we are lucky enough to return to Bellingen, we'll be returning to John's cottage.

Lovely Cozy Treehouse

We had a wonderful five day stay in John's Cabin, embraced by a cool and leafy mango tree. So conveniently located close to town, yet quiet and serene. Watching all the birds and lizards going about their business right next to us. We will be back!

Interesting property with character

Great location very close to main street. Older property with charm, clean and tidy with new bathroom. Outdoor areas including entrance don't create a good impression - but otherwise a nice stay. Host very welcoming, booking and checkin process went well. Lovely country town to visit, we wished we had booked more than one night.

Great place to stay!

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Bellingen. The cottage was lovely with plenty of space, everything we needed, & close to the main street in town. The only thing we had to bring was bodywash for the shower. Check-in was easy & parking was right outside the front gate. We really enjoyed our stay.

Magical Little Getaway

Perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Nothing better than waking up to the mooing of cows and the chatter of the local birds. Guest house was immaculate, very cosy with all the essentials. Owner and his daughter were perfect hosts and were very accommodating. Switch off your phone and just let the peace and tranquility take you.
