Description
There are not many places you can experience a beautiful 8 acre organic, permaculture farm only 5 mins drive from the heart of Bellingen. Our farm is in biodynamic conversion and we strive to be as self sustainable as possible in terms of growing biodynamic food.
Our lovely, private eco-friendly vintage farmhouse has flat access, is fully fenced with reverse cycle air-con system + a slow combustion wood fire.
This house has a passive solar design, which means it takes full advantage of its north aspect, keeping the house cool in summer and warm in winter and has been featured in a home renovation in Real Living Magazine. (October 2010 edition)
The house is open plan with two bedrooms;
(one with a queen size bed the other with two singles) and one bathroom. The style of this house is relaxed, with an emphasis on second hand and pre-loved furniture.
There is a fully fenced garden so that your children and pets can play safely. A selection of fruit trees and herbs scattered amongst the paddocks make for a lovely country getaway.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with a stainless steel gas stove, plus laundry facilities..
There are free range chickens roaming the property along with two lambs (lizzie and lucky) and two cows (charlie and daisy). There are extensive bushwalks for you and your dogs to enjoy only a couple of minutes away.
EXTRAS
A cleaner can be arranged at an extra cost ($40)

Our Vision + Feedback from others
Our vision is simple, and reflects who we are...we are committed to providing eco-friendly accommodation to our guests in a way that limits our carbon footprint on the planet. We strive to do this in every way we can, from our suppoprt of living as organically as we can, and our refusal to supply microwaves or use chemical cleaning products and soaps, to the solar power, rain tanks, no dishwashers and a our lack of gadgets.
Our motto and reflected style of all our homes is re-cycle, re-use and replace with second hand. Therefore you wont find new shiny couches or mass produced products we aim to use what has already been used in an effort to play our small part in breaking the cycle of consumption and production.
FEEDBACK
We had an amazing stay in the vintage farm house, the kids loved exploring the farm, walking down to the creek, checking out the pumpkins = and even fought over who was going to do the compost everyday. The house exceeded all expectations and we are devastated to be going home! We will definitely be back

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful vintage farm house! The fireplace made the house really warm and cosy in the rainy weather. We loved the friendly little sheep and the cute cows. A great place for the whole family including the dog.
-Martin, Michele Alex and Lara (and Indie the dog)
We had a very relaxed and restful stay. Loved what you have done with the place and we fell in love with Bellingen over again. Thank you for the fresh produce, we've taken a pumpkin home with us.
