Really quirky trendy place in a lovely old building that used to be a backpackers hostel. Lots of decorative stuff to look at inside the guest house and amazing views of the garden and beyond. We had a room for six so it would have been very good value for that number. Communal kitchen very well equipped and organised

As a female solo traveler the Belfry was a great place to stay. I felt completely comfortable being there. It is also a great central location in which to explore Bellingen, without being slap bang in the middle of the main street. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

If you are looking for convenience, friendliness value for money location etc. can't ignore this place. Down to earth, unpretentious and located on a very quiet spot in middle of town. It will surely become my stopover place on my way north and back to sydne.

We loved our stay here, it was only a quick overnight one but we will definitely be back. We arrived later than planned so the night manager checked us in, she was so warm and friendly and made us feel welcome straight away. The facilities are fantastic and everything was cleaned to perfection. The view first thing in the morning is just beautiful! We greatly enjoyed our stay in this lovely place and can't wait to come back!

I like my own bathroom so this hippie guest house was really not my style! Quaint and very suitable for young backpackers! More of a backpacker lodge than a guest house!

We had a lovely stay at the Belfry guest house! We stayed in a twin room for 3 nights. The room itself was nothing special (justified by the price) however, it was clean and comfortable which is all we needed. The house had nice amenities and shared spaces. Staff were all fantastic. Overall very pleased with our stay. Thanks!
