Like a secret garden...
Jeroen B."Hidden behind large trees we drove up to our lodge named Bellbird. Vic & Tessa greeted us and showed us our little hide out for two nights. And what a great treat: a private jacuzzi! A beautiful garden surrounds the two lodges. You feel like you are in a small private world."











Excellent stay, lovely cottage and wonderful hosts
L. Kamps"We stayed at the cottage for three nights and it was just wonderful. The cottage has good beds, a nice bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. Moreover, there is a lovely garden that you can use. It is a kid-friendly house to stay at!"











Amazing hidden gem
Shirley M."We stayed in Bellbird cottage during our Dunedin stop over of our NZ tour and loved the place - very romantic, quiet and relaxed.
The cottage is very clean and a good size for a comfortable stay. The fully equiped kitchen was very useful for meals in."

The spa was a bonus, a nice surprise . Vic was very friendly and helpful with the tips about the area .It was very hard to leave!"











Beautiful cottage in Broad Bay
O. Kingfisher"I stayed 4 nights in Bellbird cottage. Ideal for 1 or 2 people. Nicely decorated, comfy bed and a hot bubble spa pool on the deck. Very nice gardens and a short walk to the beach. You are offered free use of kayaks. Very kind and friendly hosts. Highly recommended."











Perfectly located and very comfortable
Willem D."Perfectly located and very comfortable piece of paradise. Owner was very knowledgable about sea lions, penguins and albatrosses (and much more) which are all a short ride away. Tessa and Victor are great hosts and look after you, so you'll have a great stay. Highly recommended!"
