2 nights at Sweet River Farm Bellingen

My friend and I stayed in the Yurt, which was amazing to fall asleep looking at the intricate hand-painted interior. The bed and furnishing were also incredibly comfortable and stylish. The amenities on the site were really well thought out, and it was so nice to be 'off-grid' but be able to easily cook, shower, etc. We spent our days reading on the deck, swimming in the gorgeous river that runs through the property, kayaking and playing with Jess's dog Zoe who would run and swim along the river bank, following us on our little paddles (highlight). At night we made fire's which Jess had already, kindly provided wood and kindling for. Town is only a 15min drive, with great butchers and grocers for necessities, plus cute cafes and stores to waddle around and browse. We had THE best time- Jess is such a gorgeous and generous host and her property is really special!!

Our favourite place we stayed along our trip from Sydney to brisbane. Loved staying here even if it was for the 1 night. Loved that we had our private little shower room and the locals here were amazing to talk to and have a laugh with at the tavern in the town centre. Right next to the ocean but if you're also nervous with swimming its fine as the river is there also where its much more calm to swim in. Would've stayed here another night if I could redo the trip.

Unforgettable Nymboida Getaway! Our stay at Nymboida was incredible! Merryl was an amazing host, and the pristine river made for the perfect escape. The highlight? Spotting a platypus and two kingfishers—pure magic! The kids felt so safe, and the canoe adventure was unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back—this time, just with the boys! 😜 Highly recommend!
