I grew up in Melbourne, and after stints living in Tokyo, Los Angeles, Cape Town, Sydney and coastal Vic, I now live in Bellingen with my dog, Moo. I also share the property with my mum, Sue. We enjoy meeting people, but we're equally happy to give our guests complete privacy. We hope to host you soon!

Bellingen is a vibrant, bohemian town with a laid back atmosphere, incredible food, and spectacular nature all around. Spend days hopping from one great eatery to another, grab a gelato from the famous gelato shop, or get into some retail therapy at the up-market Emporium or one of the many funky op-shops. With swimming spots, ancient rainforest, dramatic waterfalls, remote beaches, there’s enough nature to explore for weeks. Drive up to Dorrigo for the day, pack the swimmers and head to the Promised Land, Valla Beach or Scott’s Head, or hunt for old wares and treasures at Macksville or the Raleigh Secondhand Store. There are so many townships nearby and each have their own character.
