We spent three nights at the Bellbird Bach and had a fabulous time. Instructions are very clear, beds are comfortable, and the place had everything we needed. The heating systems are very good and kept us comfortable despite the spring storm. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. The lake is a short walk away.
