ABOUT THE COTTAGE
A quiet comfortable self-contained cottage. It has a reverse cycle air-conditioner, super comfortable king size hardwood bed and a good size timber verandah nestled under a big mango tree looking north to the Dorrigo range across the Bellingen Valley & mountain views.


ABOUT HOSTS
I am an artist, a painter/potter I have a studio next to our home. I have a delightful 9 year old daughter called Minh-Chau.

As your hosts we would like to ensure your stay in the area is enjoyable. If we can provide any assistance, our pole house is only 50 metres from the cottage so please give us a bell or come to our home if you need information or anything and we will do our best to help.

LOCATION
Potters Cottage is located at 8 Short Street Lane, Bellingen. It is a quiet, comfortable and fully equipped space with a good size verandah under a large old mango tree looking north past the studio to the Dorrigo ranges and Bellingen Valley. The cottage is just a minute's walk to town centre where you will find cafes, restaurants and boutique shopping. There is also a great Alternative Book shop. The property fronts the river park which is just a five minute walk to the Bellinger River. The park has picnic areas, swimming spots and more gorgeous views.

The cottage is a 20 minute drive to the Dorrigo World Heritage National Park Rainforest and only a 15 minute drive to the spectacular Never Never River in the Promised Land and is also close to Darkwood where the Bellinger flows. Urunga is a 15 minute drive where you will find beautiful quiet beaches and a boardwalk at the mouth of the Kalang and Bellinger rivers.

Bellingen is about 30 minutes drive south of Coffs Harbour airport, and about a 10 minute drive off the Pacific Highway along Waterfall Way.

    We had a great stay and would happily return. The place was clean, well-maintained, and matched the listing description accurately. Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and John was responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby restaurants, cafes and shops. Again we had a lovely stay and a great time at Bruno's Restaurant which has amazing food & drinks.

    We had a wonderful 4-night stay at John's cottage. It is located just steps away from the main street so we were delighted to find a pasture with horses, cattle and birds just a few minutes away, leading to the river and bridge. Sitting on the deck under the mango tree was very restful, watching the lizards and birds, and listening to nature. It is a quaint yet comfortable place with everything we needed and John is a friendly host. If we are lucky enough to return to Bellingen, we'll be returning to John's cottage.

    We had a wonderful five day stay in John's Cabin, embraced by a cool and leafy mango tree. So conveniently located close to town, yet quiet and serene. Watching all the birds and lizards going about their business right next to us. We will be back!
