House sit BELLINGEN

In Bellingen, your days will fall into a natural rhythm shaped by the Bellinger River and its rainforest embrace. Daily dog walks might take you along the well-trodden Riverwalk track, a serene path winding beside the water, offering cool shade for your temporary companions. Mornings often begin with an unhurried pace, perfect for securing local provisions from the IGA or independent stores, perhaps followed by a quiet coffee at a Hyde Street cafe where well-behaved pets are often welcome outside. This slow start sets the tone for a relaxed day of home and pet care. Weekends beckon with a distinct local flavour. The Bellingen Community Markets, held on the second and fourth Saturdays, transform the park beside the river into a bustling gathering, where you can browse local crafts and find fresh, regional produce. For deeper nature immersion, the rainforest trails of Dorrigo National Park are a short drive, offering refreshing walks amidst ancient trees and waterfalls – a chance for solo exploration while pets nap. Alternatively, pack the car for a trip east to the coast, where the calmer waters of Urunga Lagoon or Sawtell Beach provide wide-open spaces for a change of scenery and a salty breeze.
