Bellbird Rise Off-Grid Cottage
Located in the upper Mary River Valley in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and hidden away on a 117-acre block, Bellbird Rise Off-Grid Cottage offers a unique and tranquil rural refuge.
This country sanctuary overlooks a pristine creek, that meanders through the front of the property, and can be heard from the cottage and its balconies. It is the perfect spot for a romantic peaceful retreat, or a getaway with friends & family, and provides a place to relax and reconnect with nature.
Arriving through the front gates, you ascend up the gravel driveway to the cottage which is perched upon the hill. Surrounded by bushland, agricultural fields, and overlooking the creek, the property feels secluded and sits comfortably in its beautiful natural setting.
The cottage is an old hunters lodge and has a rustic country feel while also including modern tasteful amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen which is integrated with dining, living, and balconies. The house features a mix of wood and stone, as well as a cozy wood fireplace and sunken lounge for those winter nights.
House Rules:
* Strictly no Parties.
* Strictly no Smoking.
* While we love animals, this property is unsuitable for pets (rural fences and cattle in surrounding paddocks).
* We have a rental agreement that needs to be signed prior to stay.
* For longer stays (more than 14 days) guests must agree to pay the cleaning cost for our cleaner to come every 14 days of your stay. This includes cleaning the property, changing over all the linen, and topping up consumables. Please don`t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries regarding this. The additional cleaning fees will be added to your booking.
* Be conscientious of our neighbours and please ensure that you leave the property neat and tidy prior to departure, including the removal of all rubbish.
