Guesthouse in Gleniffer

River Room Bellingen Treehouse

We love our Gleniffer home. It sits in the beautiful northern NSW Bellinger Valley, among treetops, on the bank of the Never Never creek. This quiet and precious part of the globe is called the Promised Land, romantically named by an enraptured Italian farmer. Proceeds from Air BnB help us to regenerate and protect this special place, so thank you in advance for your patronage of this precious bushland. THE ROOM The River Room is a very big space, and more than just a bedroom. You sleep in a comfy king-sized bed but also have extensive desk & couch space for writing, painting, reading and quiet time. It is simply furnished, which best suits its minimalist architecture. One wall opens up like a garage door to reveal the Never Never Creek, just metres below. It is detached via a walkway from our main home. The bathroom is nearby. Your wonderfully drenching shower, basin and toilet is along a short walkway. It is private but constructed so you can still enjoy your rainforest surrounds. In summer or winter, you may like to use a dressing gown/wrap. THE BUILDING Our 3-part tree house was designed especially to suit the local climate and environment, by respected Australian architect, Richard LePlastrier. It was built in 1980 by a meticulous Dutchman, Henk Mulder. The peace and serenity you will experience here is due largely to the architecture of this building - which allows you to embrace the rain storms, the cacophony of birdlife and the meandering or raging river. We have made only minor adjustments to the minimalist interior design, in order to preserve its historical significance. GUESTS The River Room lends a wonderful peacefulness to our home and for this reason bedding in this space is limited. It is not suitable for a group of adults (two adults only). To ensure your experience is in keeping with our neighbourhood atmospheric, we request absolutely no visitors during your stay. For families with more than one child, we offer heavily discounted rates for any spill over in The Hut on Never Never Creek acerage ($30 plus half cleaning costs). We also have a room below the River Room with a queen sized bed. Just ask about this when you send a booking request. (If your children are not old enough to sleep apart from you, the Valley has lots of options for your family which may be more suitable). If you are bringing children they need to be supervised; remember it is a treehouse in a rural area, and the bush can be unpredictable. Most children are fine, other than energetic and inquisitive toddlers! MEALS There is no kitchen in the River Room, however, we do provide a toaster, kettle, plates and cutlery. Most guests are on vacation and like to buy from Bellingen’s excellent delicatessen, bakery or other cafes, bringing home some basic snack and breakfast food - keeping things simple. You can heat up your takeaway food in our microwave and retire to your River Room to eat. There is a dining table in the room and we have a fridge in our downstairs laundry that you are welcome to use. If you prefer to eat out, Bellingen also has many great restaurants. Just remember they close early compared to the city and might require bookings at peak holiday times. For longer stays, you can request access to our downstairs bush kitchen and BBQ, which can be shared/negotiated depending on your meal preferences/times. Please enquire about this prior to booking. SWIMMING IN THE NEVER NEVER Swimming in summer is literally at your doorstep, in a clean and deep waterhole off your own pontoon. Talk to us about fish/eels and water monitors and platypus. TELECOMMUNICATIONS Telstra works well for your smart phone internet use. Check any other mobile networks for their advised reception quality. Our rural area is currently NOT serviced by high speed NBN. Bring your own toggle if you want WIFI options. WEATHER We enjoy sublime winter days, which are usually warm and sunny before you retire and tuck under your River Room doona! Summers are glorious with sub-tropical balmy nights. You will be grateful for the rainforest shade and the refreshing river waters during the hotter daytime hours. We are a 15 minute drive from Bellingen. You will need a car or bike.
