Raleigh Apartment | Duck Heaven in Bellingen Shire

1 Bedroom Apartment in Raleigh

Duck Heaven in Bellingen Shire has a rustic vibe that will suit people looking for a place that’s a bit different.
The four-acre property fronts a paperbark-studded billabong that’s home to many species of waterfowl, including wild ducks, spoonbills, herons, egrets, purple swamp hens, and the occasional jabiru.
Conveniently located a kilometre from the highway and midway between Sydney and Brisbane, Duck Heaven is less than 10 minutes from the gorgeous riverside and seaside towns of Urunga and Mylestom, 15 minutes from bohemian Bellingen with its vibrant festival scene, lively markets and abundant cafes, and 20 minutes from the regional city of Coffs Harbour. You can check out the delights of the local area on this website - LifeUnhurried dot com/bellingen-shire-nsw-australia/
The self-contained, open-plan studio occupies about half of the mud-brick building that was the original home on the property and has its own private, fenced courtyard garden.
There's a queen-sized bed with a comfy mattress as well as a sofa bed that could sleep an extra adult or child. The queen bed is in one leg of an “L” shape, so it has some privacy from the sofa bed in the living room, but there’s no door separating them.
The kitchenette has a microwave, kettle, toaster, coffee plunger and bar fridge, as well as crockery and cutlery. We supply a simple breakfast of cereal, milk, tea and coffee.
The studio and the fenced courtyard are all yours. From inside the studio, you can enter the shared garage area via a connecting door to access the laundry, additional clothes hanging/drying space, two bicycles and a selection of books in a glassed cabinet.
The car kept in the garage is not used much, so it’s unlikely you will be disturbed by the sound of the roll-a-door.
Our own house is down the hill and is fenced to keep our dog confined, so please be careful not to leave any gates open if you need to visit us.
If you follow the driveway through a pocket of rainforest past the main house, you can explore the garden and billabong area and meet our small flock of mixed poultry.
PLEASE NOTE
We’re in a rural area so you may encounter some insects, possums, bandicoots, brush turkeys, or a (harmless) green tree snake or carpet python.
We have tank water and a septic system.
* the kitchen tap has a filter for drinking water
* during a power outage, the pump will not work to supply water
* only human waste and toilet paper can go in the toilet
* we do not allow pets
