Benbellen is an aboriginal word meaning "high quiet place" and that's exactly what you find when you stay on this small working farm.
The luxury "Queenslander" style homestead, designed with your comfort and convenience in mind, is surrounded by cool wide verandahs and has spectacular views of Hannam Vale and the nearby mountain ranges of the Manning Valley.
Guest Areas
The spacious open plan living areas include a large indoor/outdoor entertainment area with a TV annex and a recessed lounge equipped with a wood burning fire.
The dining table is set next to French doors which open onto the outdoor entertainment area.
You are surrounded by extensive views of the valley including "South Brother", a mountain identified by James Cook in 1770 as one of the famous "Three Brothers" of the Laurieton/Johns River/Moorland area.
In the "cook's kitchen" you might be taught new ways of poaching the perfect egg or be served delicious, mouth watering home cooked evening meals with an emphasis on healthy nutritious food.
Farm Activities
Benbellen is a small working property stocked with Holstein Friesian heifers, alpacas, geese, guinea fowl and chickens.
