Enjoy the ultimate natural indulgence – a million-star spa…

Treat yourself to a romantic getaway or relaxing break in an atmosphere of luxury and indulgence, amid a tranquil and picturesque natural landscape.

Only five minutes from the centre of Bellingen, Afterglow Cottages nestles among 30 acres of rolling green hills and native woodland in the beautiful Kalang River valley.

You can choose to stay in our architect-designed cottage or the converted old dairy - both now spacious self-contained one-bedroom cottages where quality new fittings and furnishings create an atmosphere of comfort and simple elegance.

Enjoy the sunset over the surrounding hills from your own private deck, indulge in a luxurious spa under the stars or simply relax and watch the abundant native birdlife and the wallabies that often graze on the grassy slopes at dawn and dusk.

Afterglow offers a perfect base for exploring Bellingen and the surrounding countryside – from World Heritage rainforest, cascading waterfalls and stunning beaches to the town’s vibrant cafes, famous festivals and friendly community markets.

Amazing Escape

Our 3 night stay was just magnificent,we enjoyed the outlook from the back deck of the property.Relaxing in the outdoor spa whether it be day or night was calming & tranquil.Agnes is very informative of all the local Restaurants & community which is always very helpful.There are a great number of music CD’s & movie CD’s to keep you entertained if need be. The only draw back to the area of Bellingen is mobile phone service is crap & we didn’t have any reception at our accommodation.The only negative comment we have is the Webber BBQ on the deck had rat poo all over the hot plate & we as guest shouldn’t be responsible for cleaning that away. We still would love to return in the foreseeable future 🙂

A wonderful experience

A big thank you to Agnes and Geoff for a wonderful time at their delightful cottage in Bellingen. The bed was so comfortable and the entire place was really beautiful. It was more spacious than it appeared in the advertising and the cakes and nibblies that Agnes made for us were delicious. Hope we can come back another time.

Great little getaway

My partner & I stayed here over a weekend with our 2 year old son. It was absolutely beautiful & we were warmly greeted by Agnes, who manages the property. We were spoilt with a slice of humming bird cake on arrival which my partner stated was the BEST cake he has ever eaten! The outside spa was amazing & also the cleanliness of the property. Thank you so much for having us & we look forward to our next stay at Afterglow :) Sharni, Shane & little Finley.

Perfect romantic get away

Very clean, spacious cottage with a nice grassy valley leading to a small creek behind it. There are two cottages on the property but they are seperate and private. The owners were very lovely and the wine they left was very nice. We had a fantastic time thank you.

Great little cottage to relax and unwind. We stayed in the "dairy" and it was like having our own little flat. Very clean and had everything we needed. You have to drive to the town (only 5 mins), but with a kitchen and BBQ at the cottage that wasn't a problem for us. The champagne on arrival was a lovely touch and had us relaxing on the verandah within minutes.
