Company information

As new owners, we have been influenced greatly by our extensive travels in Bali and India. We are hoping to create a little of that special ambiance at our guesthouse in Bellingen. The Belfry Guesthouse has a strong community sense of belonging, giving back and supporting our wonderful Bellingen community. In 2016 we hosted the Gyuto Monks of Tibet in our guesthouse and provided a free, community weekend program for people to experience first hand the Gyuto Monks. We support the Bello Winter Music Festival, we are a major sponsor of the OUTA (Open Up To Art) Festival and Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival. Being part of our vibrant local community is very important to us.
