Guest Reviews
- Tristan (8/5): -
- christine (9/5): - The beautiful location and the balconies. The well equipped kitchen and the friendly atmosphere The room could have done with a bit of extra cleaning behind the tables and beds. But would happily return
- Kylie (10/5): - Love staying at the Belfry. Great location and feels like a home away from home
- Hannah (8/5): -
- tracy (9/5): -
- Allan (7/5): It was fine for one night but would not Abe been comfortable for a longer stay - The house had a lot of character and was central in the town Although it’s described as a guest house, it seemed more like a hostel. The bathrooms were shared and some rooms were not very close to them. The room was fairly basic with only one bedside table and lamp for the double bed
- Joey (10/5): - Everything we were there for was close the scenery was amazing and the bed was comfortable
- Jones (6/5): -
- justin (10/5): -

- Anne (10/5): Interessanter Aufenthalt - Der Ort war sehr schön, sehr idyllisch und wunderbar gelegen. Belfry Guesthouse war sehr unique gestaltet und wir liebten die Gestaltung der Möbel/ Assessors und den Aufenthalt dort. Wir waren sehr exponiert an der Ecke und es hat uns etwas gestört dass wir nicht sehr viel Privatsphäre hatten. Morgens wie such Abends sind andere Gäste ständig vor der offenen Türe vorbeigegangen. Auch würde ich Waschlappen empfehlen, denn wenn man nicht duschen möchte ( Wassersparen) und sich trotzdem waschen möchte musste ich gezwungenermassen mein Badetuch benutzen.
- Peter (10/5): Perfekt - Alles
- Tim (10/5): - We booked the only room with ensuite bathroom which was really amazing. Can only recommend this place! Insane! Nothing at all!
- Karine (9/5): -
- Sylvie (9/5): - Excellent restaurants à proximité.

- GUY (8/5): -

- karen duncan (9/5): Unbeatable location with lovely staff - Fantastic quiet spot on the Bellinger river with views, a short stroll from the main shops, cafes, IGA etc Friendly helpful staff Wonderful kitchen with plentiful facilities and plentiful basic food items supplied Attracts a lovely mix of guests from well behaved young people, families and older folks Limited parking onsite

- Griffyken (9/5): - We loved the quaintness of the building, it's location, Our balcony with wonderful view and the Happy vibe of the place.
- Taswild (9/5): - Beautiful location no air-conditioning but that is more a personal preference.
- Kylie (6/5): Nice Place but very hot rooms - The house is very lovely and great position The room was unbearably hot in the summer the fan was just not cutting it we were sweating all night and couldn’t sleep
- Daniel (8/5): - Great location and helpful staff. The room was clean, quiet and a good size.
- Mealey (10/5): -
- G (10/5): Bellingen is paradise! - I had breakfast out, but I loved exploring the location and having coffee in the communal kitchen and exploring the library. The heat! That was no one’s fault, though.
- Zhi (10/5): -
- Alina (3/5): Not returning. Run by kids. - Location Bedding was old and grubby. I don’t think the doona covers are changed regularly. $260 a night and asked to strip bedding in morning. No air con or fly screens on doors/windows so either hot or mozzies. Bathrooms grubby. Kitchen needs a deep clean. Place tired and run down and not worth $260.

- michael (9/5): -
- Renae (10/5): -
- Joanne (9/5): Will be back for sure! - Absolutely welcoming, cozy, best location and views, staff were fantastic super friendly, rooms are wonderful kitchen had everything you need. I give 9/10
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Suzie (10/5): The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. I had a lovely stay. - There is a beautiful verandah with little tables and chairs and the most stunning view. It was so nice to sit and watch the sunset and have a coffee in the morning. Nothing
- Rosemary (8/5): Pleasant a d love the location . Will be back . - Great location Staff really nice . Wet bath mats to share . Need bath mats for each room and hand towels separate as well . Noisy showers Need to have some hooks on back of room doors
- Manuel (8/5): Great place to stay - The Staff, the outdoor facilities No air conditioner
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Georgia (10/5): -
- Charlie (2/5): Poor. Hostel like. - Location Beds were uncomfortable and pillows were terrible. The room was tiny for a family room and extremely hot and stuffy. There was no cross ventilation to cool down the room. It is essentially a hostel but the rate charged is more like that of a private motel or hotel except you are sharing bathrooms and kitchens. One of the worst sleeps I’ve had
- Brett (8/5): Rustic Gem - Great location, lovely vibe, stunning outlook over the forest and river. Spacious kitchen and outdoor deck. I have stayed here a few times over the past 7-8 years. It may be time to give a few facilities a refresh as they are looking just a little tired. Restain deck, freshen up and clean lower deck.
- Michal (8/5): -
- Kathryn (9/5): - Great location near to town. Comfortable bed
- Laura (9/5): - Beautiful view and very tranquil. The community facilities were very clean and had plenty of everything. No air conditioning options and we were unfortunately booked on a very hot night
- Carmel (9/5): - Easy to check in. Comfortable stay. Great location Another pillow would be great
- Leeann (9/5): Blissful. - Great location and the staff are super friendly and accommodating That I couldn’t buy a room and live there.
- myriam (10/5): Amazing place, I will come again -
- Melissa (8/5): -
- Nadia (8/5): -
- Lin (5/5): - Very hot, no air conditioning. Can’t fall asleep. No proper parking, our car got very dirty after parking under tree on street. Not worth the money
- Lucy (2/5): It’s for backpackers not families - Nice idea just not for a family. No ensuite.or aircon in rooms. Noisy pubs with loud music. Then people vomiting in the ally. Beds were uncomfortable. The woke rainbow flag in the bathroom welcoming a certain way of life. All people should be welcome. It’s accomodation, stick to it. We don’t want to see it where we pay to stay.
- Stack (8/5): Wonderful place to stay and will be back! - Such a lovely spot - beautiful views and great facilities! Communal areas and kitchen excellent. Friendly staff and close to lots of great places to eat, drink, explore. One recommendation for the family room would be a fan closer to the bunk beds and a reading light for the bottom bunk in particular,
- Sharon (7/5): -
- stephen (2/5): Has the potential to be better. Actually uncomfortable and not very nice experience, despite the hype. - It has character and has an easy vibe and good look out view. The decking area is nice. Enjoyed the hammock and the lizards. No air-con and it was very uncomfortably hot. Could not close window door due to heat and it lacked privacy. Thin curtain and other guests inc children could see into our room. Room lacked any home comforts or those little things that make hotel stays easy or special. The bed was not good. The welcome was very rushed and lacked warmth, or interest. The guy was there, but present somewhere else. I think the hotel mistakes being cool and chilled with being enough to become boutique. This could be a really special boutique hotel/guest house if they considered home comforts and guest experience. It felt like camping but inside.
- Gary (8/5): Close to town and charming - The verandahs were incredible. The staff were lovely also. Strange vibe from some of the other guests.
- inano (8/5): Lovely place. - Style, location and facilities all good. A lovely bunch of young people were running the place and whilst they were very nice we felt like we were in their space. They took over the kitchen and eating area for the evenings we were there, so using the kitchen felt awkward as a result we just ate out.
- Suzanne (8/5): -
- Robinson (8/5): -
- Jeanine (8/5): Great affordable place in Bellingen right in the heart of the action - Location Nothing exactly as we expected it would be
- Katrin (8/5): - Tolle Lage - nah am Ort und gleichzeitig fühlt man sich mitten in der Natur. Das Haus ist gut organisiert und das Personal sehr nett.
- Christina (8/5): An exceptional stay in paradise - Beautiful location
- Russell (4/5): Apart from location it was very disappointing. The room was like a cell. Way overpriced. - Location was good . Place was clean. Very nice areas for relaxing. Staff member I dealt with was good. Extremely noisy. People still making a racket up till 11.00 at night. No TV in room. Could not close windows to keep out car noise. Room was beside showers & toilets on bottom floor. Hear everything. Bed was rather uncomfortable.
- Linda (10/5): -
- Hayley (5/5): No Air Con - Location was great, beautiful outlook. Staff were friendly. The main dining lounge area was comfortable. NO AIRCON - maybe that’s ok for some people, but I wish I’d known there was no aircon - personally I wouldn’t have booked (in summer). It was a very uncomfortable night. The bathroom facilities are really poorly designed. 1 toilet for so many rooms! Shared for men and women, shower cubicles were poky, and no benches - just overall poor layout. This was the most expensive stay of my entire 10 week journey and my lowest rating. The towel I was given was threadbare and frayed. Room was very basic. Perhaps that’s because Bellingen itself is such a cute town. If you’re a 20 year old backpacker…. this place is “fine”. Otherwise - I can’t recommend it as I’d never choose to stay here again.
- antonio jose (8/5): -
- Brian (6/5): - Location and atmosphere No air conditioning. It was very humid in Bellingen and even with windows and doors open and two fans going it was unbearable at night
- Marc Philipp (9/5): Nettes Gästehaus! - Super leise! Tolle Aufenthaltsräume! Rund um ein nettes Environment!!
- Janin (10/5): - Tolles Guesthouse, man kam sich vor wie in einem Baumhaus!
- Koen (9/5): - Beautiful view, nice communal areas, room clean and good. Shared bathrooms worked ok. Other than a bit of heat in the room, no comments!
- Ann-Charlotte (10/5): -
- Robert (10/5): -
- Jane (6/5): - Great location. Lovely staff. Better suited to somebody younger than me. Bathroom shared. Room was a bit smelly.
- Melissa (8/5): -
- Georgina (9/5): -
- Tony (8/5): another great stay - great location close to everything and 20min drive to Coffs. paid extra for room 9 which has an ensuite. third time we have stayed with nice feel about the guesthouse.
- Alain31V (9/5): - Le côté authentique et chaleureux dans un environnement champêtre Le bruit des bouteilles jetées dans les poubelles dans la rue
