Pool on the deck, fire inside, the whole valley falling away to the west. Four ways to stay on one quiet ridge.
The kind of place you come to for two nights and end up wishing you'd booked four.
Hilltop Sanctuary sits on a ridge above the Bellinger Valley — five minutes from Bellingen, 2.5 hours south of Byron, and far enough up the mountain that the loudest thing is the magpies. A covered deck runs the width of the house, the pool just below it, the valley beyond. Below, a garden studio with its own door. You can take a room, the house, or the whole hill.
Hilltop Sanctuary is a private hilltop retreat five minutes from Bellingen, on the Mid North Coast of NSW. It suits a romantic getaway for two or a quiet escape for up to six adults, with a pool, wide valley views and room to slow down. Choose the Pool House, The House, the Mountain View Studio or the whole hill. Pets are welcome in every stay, making it pet-friendly accommodation close to Bellingen's markets, river walks and cafés. Bring your dog, settle in and let the views do the rest.
A couples' retreat with a covered deck the width of the house, the pool just below, and a fire for when the mountain air turns cool. Come up for a weekend and watch the light change.
