Bellbowra Farmstay - Pet Friendly - Nambucca Valley

Bellbowra Farm is located 1.5 hours north of Port Macquarie and 45 minutes south of Coffs Harbour, 30 minutes from Bellingen and a short 15 - 20 minute drive from Macksville and Nambucca Heads. Also centrally located 5.5 hours from both Sydney or Brisbane.

Our farmhouse cottage is the perfect getaway to experience the magic of the farm and surrounding areas. Bellbowra cottage is a 3 bedroom circa 1905 farmhouse with private access from road and own gardens (fenced to be both pet and child friendly). We welcome pets as they are part of the family too! (Pet bond does apply).

Bedrooms consist of Room 1: 1 x Queen bed, Room 2: 1 x Queen bed & single bed with single trundle, Room 3: 1 x set bunk beds, the house in total sleeps up to 8 comfortably. We also provide access to a portable cot for babies. All linen and towels are provided.

The cottage also has open plan family room, kitchen with extendable dining table, separate bathroom and laundry (including washing machine) and is surrounded by a full wrap around balcony for relaxing, enjoying a bbq and watching our incredible sunsets and sunrises.

On the farm you can do as much or as little as you wish, enjoy the peace and tranquility of a picnic in the pecans orchard, take a walk through our own native forest area to dam, watch the vibrant wildlife such as kookaburras and wallaby's, feed our little family of chickens and ducks, take a swim in the clear and fresh watering hole.

As a working farm we welcome all guests to take part in our day to day life, we are passionate about sustainable agriculture, protecting and improving the natural environment for the wellbeing of future generations. We produce five tonnes of garlic each year and about 10 tonnes of our award winning organic pecan nuts. We also have a small orchard of Macadamia trees and various citrus trees. Farm tours can be arranged.
The flora and fauna on the farm is majestic including many rare and protected species that may be sighted including Red-necked Wallaby’s, Platypus, Koala, Echidna and flora including tallow wood, various gums, wattle, and rainforest species within the forest area.

The surrounds of the Nambucca Valley offer a huge range of things to see and do, enjoy the beautiful beaches of Scott’s Head, Nambucca, Valla Beach. Take in a round of golf at Bowraville, fishing and canoeing on the Nambucca and surrounding rivers, enjoy a meal and many historical pubs in the region or visit beautiful towns all nearby including Bellingen, Dorigo, Urunga and many more!

We loved this property. The actual house is sweet and everything works. Lots of staples were left out which was helpful. The hosts are super nice, generous and hospitable. Our kids and dog loved playing with their kids and dog, Our youngest off jumping on the trampoline with her new friends and playing with their rabbits for hours. All our kids ranging from 10 to teens loved the swimming hole on the property. The local kids showing them how to jump straight on in. The drive from Sydney was worth it from the first hour being there. Such a great experience and lovely people and a nice touch was the organic garlic left for us on the table. Hope to visit again soon.

Farm stay
Our family had a great holiday at Bellbowra farm stay, the host was very friendly and helpful with everything we needed and the place was exactly what we needed for a relaxing holiday. The house is basic but the rooms and beds are comfortable, the views are stunning and walking down to the waterhole was refreshing for us and the our dog.

We loved absolutely everything about our stay right from the moment we pulled up! The farmhouse itself was the perfect size for us which included my 2 kids and my parents (and hubby). We spent alot of time on the verandah taking in the views of the hills and afternoon storms that rolled in. We felt very comfortable to explore the property at our leisure, there felt like something different to enjoy each day. My kids LOVED meeting farm dog Eddie and would have stolen him if they could and really enjoyed the roaming chickens and fresh eggs we were generously gifted! Hosts Kristy and Andy were so friendly and welcoming and our kids shared some fun together too as a bonus for both parents!;-) we had the best Christmas day and holiday and cant wait to visit again!

Place was good but no host. When booking took $200 for host charges but couldn’t get contact with them when trying to call them. Left voice message but didn’t call back at all. Didn’t see anyone whom to ask around as well. They only picked up phone when called to ask where to drop off keys on check out time.

We had a great time at Missabotti (Bellbowra), the hosts were so friendly, accommodating, they meet us feel right at home including swimming with us in the waterhole & our kids playing with their kids. Eddy the dog was a great tour guide, the kids had a fantastic time exploring the farm. The cottage was very clean, comfortable beds, everything a family with 6 kids aged 3 to 15 needed.

Wonderful farm, gorgeous pecan trees in bud and lovely creek with swimming hole. Our 3 dogs were safe in the well fenced yard and also enjoyed a run under the pecan trees( well supervised). We were welcomed in person which was nice, and the house was perfect for us...an old farm house with charm. Would definitely stay again.

It’s was great pleasure to stay in the property and great help and coordination from property owner Other part when my daughter requested for property owner kids to be part of her birthday party overwhelmingly they said yes and brought kids to party.This made my daughter day. Property is really well maintained with all amenities and great place to stay. Will be going back soon and whenever going to Coffs Harbour will always my first choice

Bellbowra is a lovely place to stay. The 360 degree views of surrounding hills, orchards and forests bathe you in tranquility. The house is comfy and cosy. There are lots of places to explore within an easy driving distance. Kristy and Andy are friendly and helpful hosts. We loved our stay on a family farm.

My friend and I stayed two nights at the cottage on this beautiful property in Missabotti. Our hosts live on the property some distance away but the cottage is quite private. The cottage is clean, comfortable and charming with a sheltered, furnished verandah on three sides. This allowed us to sit out watching the unfolding drama of rainstorms, morning mists, golden sunrises and sunsets across this amazingly beautiful, landscape. The rustic garden around the cottage was fully fenced for our dogs which we were also able to walk through the fields and orchards to a magic swimming hole fringed by water lilies and ferns. Our host Andy was most welcoming. The surrounding area provides spectacular drives through towering forests of gum, palms and tree ferns which plunge steeply to lush fern gullies and creeks.

Stayed with family (2 Ad 2 teenagers 1 dog). Visiting family nearby in Scotts Head, so great to be able to drive to the beach but loved being on the farm with fantastic views all round and relaxing walks especially among the peacan trees. Hosts were welcoming and helpful - thanks Andy & Kristy. We loved being able to swim in the creek - so unique. Waking up to bird song every morning and enjoyed our meals from the balcony overlooking the beautiful valley. Enjoyed exploring the local towns. Just a great relaxing holiday!

Breathtakingly beautiful
We loved every minute here. We had a brilliant time on walks through the forest or in the nut groves exploring the farm. The kids loved cooling off in the swimming hole several times a day and playing with the gorgeous Kelpie Eddie and Kristy and Andy’s daughter. The local town had a couple of amazing (way too under rated) museums the kids loved. And it’s so close to the coast and the beaches for a swim and great seafood. Kristy and Andy are wonderful. This was a stunning oasis we were lucky enough to chance upon. Highly recommend.
