Fernridge Farm Cottage is a 100 year old cottage, built 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. In 2010 it was featured on "Better Homes and Gardens".

Recently, a guest left the following (unprompted) comment:

"Fernridge Cottage, the delightful garden, the stunning view, the birds, the attention to detail and comfort, all create an unforgettable ambience. Wow! We leave reluctantly and look forward to returning".

Lyn & Ken, Dec. 2010

and another.....

"I am writing to let you know how much we loved Fernridge and will always recommend it. The cottage was just lovely and the outlook amazing. But what was really appreciated was the small personal touches you had done. The milk, bread, eggs and other things in the cottage made it by far the standout place we stayed during our holiday."
