Fernridge Farm Cottage was built in 1905 by one of the original settler families in the Bellingen district. The cottage faces north toward the Bellinger River and the mountains of the Dorrigo escarpment, and offers absolute privacy. It was completely renovated about 30 years ago, and has been updated and upgraded in the years since. The most recent changes to the cottage include an ensuite accessed through the main bedroom, and an upgraded kitchen. The cottage has been repainted both inside and out.
The cottage has been featured on "Better Homes and Gardens" and was also part of a Tourism New South Wales advertising campaign.
