The cottage is heritage listed and we have endeavoured to keep it simple and as traditional as possible whilst making it homely and warm.
This cottage was built approximately 1900 it is a retro experience..we have not made the inside look new!! it still has the original wooden walls high ceilings old single pane sash windows. The kitchen was originally in what is now the lounge room and the bathroom was a wash house outside. The kitchen and bathroom are at the back of the house now in what was probably a back veranda this is typical of this era.
If you love smick muted tones matching furniture and new this cottage is not for you try one of the many new establishments. If however you embrace a time gone by then you like us will love the ambience the eclectic family furniture and memories. A very traditional old fashioned experience.
The cottage is one of very few remaining in the town centre. It is in the town centre so you may get some street noise at times and the odd pan clashing in the bakery but their delicious baked goods more than make up for that The front garden is totally private and hidden from the street by a tall hedge. The front entrance has an equally private front verandah perfect for soaking up the afternoon sun. Because it has blinds it is also a perfect spot to watch a storm or cosy up with a rug and a book.
A lovely private courtyard out back. The rear block behind the cottage is not included, please do not enter and watch the kidlets
Inside the cottage two traditional bedrooms with high ceilings ,wooden walls and sash windows. NB they do not stay up without a prop ..there are wooden blocks around the house for this purpose
A large lounge with a comfy couch and gas fire makes for a cosy place to relax. NB turn gas heater off when retiring or leaving the cottage The bedrooms have electric blankets and electric oil heaters.
We have a large screen TV and many books. Alas no WiFi! You can access free WiFi at the library not far away and also the many local cafes. And added bonus is they do great coffee and yummy food our fave components Cafe turn left out the gate 4 doors down
The kitchen comprises cooker stove ,microwave, coffee pot,toaster etc . we will leave the u coffee tea and milk. .The woodfire bakery next door may tempt you with delicious home made goods supermarket 3 doors down
The bathroom is quite authentic with a deep old fashioned bath and shower over if you have ##mobility issues you might get need to clarify it has not been modified. The ceiling light is a pull light switchbeside the bathroom door. The water is super hot.. Fabulous but test it before getting in. And mind to use the non slip mat. Note there is no hot water in the hand basin there is an additional hand basin in the kitchen with hot n cold water.
Things to do in the area
Dorrigo has wonderful walks just around town or down by the river. However a must visit to the Dangar Falls just out of town and a pleasant 4 klms walk approximately return. Depending on your fitness you can also walk to and swim at the bottom of the Falls which is spectacular.
Dorrigo National Rainforest Centre is on the edge of the plateau on the top of Dorrigo mountain. It has fantastic trails for all ages and fitness levels as well as an amazing sky walk above the forest.
The town also features a lovely 9 hole golf course, swimming pool and other attractions.
The very best thing about our cottage(among) many! Is the fact that you are within steps of all the town facilities. No need to drive your car to go out for dinner or drinks :)

FREIDA HISTORIC FARMHOUSE BELLINGEN
We welcome you to stay in our beautiful home - Freida Historic Farmhouse . Located in Gleniffer, the jewel of the beautiful Bellinger Valley, our classic Australian farmhouse has become very popular for gatherings of families and friends, particularly multi generation get-togethers. The home is very spacious and has a special ambiance. The original owner, famous pioneer midwife, Freida Hicks, cared for women and babies across the Bellinger Valley in the late 1800s. Many say you can still feel that care.
They describe Freida as a step back in time.
The house has an old world feel, full of period features, high ceilings and original old floors. The four double size bedrooms have french doors which open out onto big wrap-around verandahs. The wood fire in the lounge room and the claws foot bath which looks out to the trees and local mountain ranges, are both very popular with guests.
Freida has a fully equipped roomy country kitchen and loads of space to hang out, catch up and relax. The verandahs have an outside dining table, a hammock and a number of couches and chairs for resting, chatting and bird watching. On ten acres, you look out across rambling gardens, old orchards and an abundance of beautiful birdlife.
With excellent NBN internet, Freida is also great option for those seeking a beautiful country location to work remote.
We attract great people who appreciate life's simple pleasures - loved ones, good food (probably also wine :) ) and being in nature. Check out the 80 plus reviews that we have received from very happy guests.
There's loads to do in our area - swimming, hiking, kayaking, picnicing.
- Freida is 10 minutes walk from the beautiful Bellinger River - highly recommended at dusk.
- She is 10 to 15 minutes drive from the now famous Never Never River.
- Half an hour's drive further up our road sees you up the mountain to Dorrigo and its world class National Park. This is a must for anyone new to the area.
- Twenty minute's drive back into vibrant Bellingen has you shopping, coffeeing, dining, chilling and crowd watching in one of the most interesting towns on the north coast of NSW (Byron now comes to us!! :) )
- If you have time you will also want to continue on to the coast to swim and walk along our sensational beaches (particularly the Urunga Boardwalk over the estuary).
We allow 2 day stays, mainly so that people find us when searching for weekend escapes. But we seriously encourage you to think about a longer stay. Most people who have stayed for only 2 nights have said it was not enough time and that they "haven't even lain on the hammock yet" and feel that there is so much more to see and do - and just not do.
Ask us about our "stay for 5 nights, pay for 4" option.
We also offer two bedrooms in the garden apartment below the house for larger groups and special friends and return guests.
We can also potentially support small special events. We have some wonderful catering and music connections, and hospitality experience.
We hope to host you soon - feel free to reach out with any questions or special needs.
- "The property was perfect for our gathering with plenty of room for all of us. It was very spacious yet the fireplaces made it feel very cosy. The beds were super comfy hence everyone slept well. The seating around the verandah enabled people to get some quiet time if needed and the hammock was a hit. The supersized oven made cooking a breeze. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cutlery, crockery and glassware. Liz was easy to deal with and ensured the rooms were configured to suit our needs. A beautiful place to stay, near beautiful waterholes. We can’t wait to visit again."
