We cannot praise enough Bellbird B&B: Gretel's surprising fancy breakfasts, the surrounding garden full of birds/red parrots, the friendliness of the hosts and the good recommendations re what to do/see/eat around Bermagui.
Bermagui, the town itself, is a hidden treasure, not only we have the beauty of the nature but also the delicious food. We spent 5 days in paradise and the Bellbird B&B just made it more special.
Thanks Gretel and Tony (now we are spoiled for life).

Thanks to Gretel and Tony for such a beautiful stay! The room, the sounds and definately the breakfasts! Everything was outstanding.
Will be back sooner than later!

Gretel has the mot beautiful taste and hasn't missed a single detail. Fresh cut fruit and yoghurt always in the fridge, a pot for real tea if you don't fancy the teabags, breakfasts enough to last half a day or more. (Ask nicely and you can have the recipe for the home made jams.) Matching crockery on the table, Australian timber bed,a double shower and spa.
Bellbirds, whipbirds, parrots and the odd monitor lizard, but the lyre bird didn't make an appearance. I can't think of another thing that would have made our experience any better.

Bellbird Cottage B&B is situated in a beautiful garden in a forest of magnificent trees in one of the loveliest coastal towns of NSW. The single room and luxurious bathroom are spacious, elegant, a little quirky. And very private. There's wonderful light from the large windows, with peaceful views into the garden. You will love this place especially if you like birds: including tinkling Bell Miners, whooping Wonga Pigeons, and Whipbirds performing their special country and western duo; you can match these sounds with sightings. Gretel and Tony are generous hosts, Gretel's breakfasts are homemade, creative and delicious. Nearby I can recommend the Bermagui Gelati Clinic for a treat, Bluewave Seafoods for excellent fish and chips and a view of the harbour, and Il Passagio for a classy dinner. You can walk over spectacular headlands, on the world's most beautiful beaches, and along lakes (and see more birds), swim at Bermagui's famous Blue Pool, explore the region by car, visit pretty Tilba, especially on Saturday mornings, that's market day, and I suggest you head straight for the stall that sells German cheesecake. Or you can simply spend your hours being still at Bellbird Cottage, in its magical setting.
