Fantastic Belkampar Retreat

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the home.Was inviting and had a perfect kitchen to cook for the family and we enjoyed sitting in the sunroom for chatting and lounge for gaming and piano being played by our teen friend. The children saw lots of native animals and enjoyed going on walks along Dry Creek road. Great location near Bonnie Doon bistro, Mansfield and Benalla.

How's the serenity!

The famous like from the Castle, "we're going to Bonnie Doon!" And what an amazing time we had at Belkamper. The photos unbelievably undersell how fantastic this property is, very spacious and well zoned for big family get togethers. We had a roaring weekend with the weather so didn't get to use the fireplace but can only imagine how lovely it would be. We enjoyed traipsing around the property and the fact that it is dog friendly is another plus. Sarah is a fantastic host who I couldn't compliment any harder if I tried. An amazing host, an amazing property and we feel blessed to have stayed at your beautiful house.

Amazing, one of the best!

We had a 3 night, family weekend and cant rate this place highly enough. Super clean with everything imaginable in the kitchen. Would have loved a coffee machine, but was above and beyond for all other needs. Beds were comfortable and all had electric blankets. The fire had been laid and ready for us, all we had to do was light it and enjoy. The couches were very, very comfortable and large coffee tables for games, nibbles and drinks. The main dinning table was stunning and large - perfect! So easy to check in and out. The resident cats were a lovely surprise and made it feel so homely. Belkampar is one of the best stays we have experienced, welcoming and exactly as described. Honestly 5 stars from us all

Ideal for a large family getaway

With 3 living rooms, our little kiddies had a variety of areas to explore. The fireplace was a winner and heated the whole house beautifully. We enjoyed the out doors and the kids really had fun on the trampoline. All in all a fabulous place for a big family getaway.

A Cosy Home Away From Home

Sarah’s place is absolutely beautiful—cosy, peaceful, and surrounded by nature and wildlife. The house is spacious and has a warm, homey feel, with a kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed. We arrived to a warm house with the fire already going, which was such a thoughtful touch. Sarah was also fantastic to communicate with throughout our stay. We’ll definitely stay here again in the future.

Relaxing country getaway

The photos don't do this place justice! It's really lovely with beautiful views of the hills and heaps of space. The garden is gorgeous and the house has everything you need for a comfortable weekend away. We were pleasantly surprised by a set of bunks, plus a single bed, in one of the rooms (which meant none of the kids had to sleep in with their parents). A few points to note - there is a small pond out the front so we kept an eagle eye on the little ones, and there's an old school trampoline (no nets or pads) which the kids absolutely loved! This would have been a 5 star review if the beds weren't so unfortunately uncomfortable. One of them has a metal bedframe that squeaks every time you move on it (very noisy for an unsettled sleeper) and in the main room, there seemed to be a broken spring that pokes up right in the middle).
