Bellingen
This riverside town is on the Waterfall Way between Coffs Coast and the Dorrigo Plateau.
Here the turn of the century "main street" village atmosphere still exists - pubs, shops and general stores and gnarled, leafy shade trees. And now, with cafes and eateries offering cappuccinos, creative cuisine and contemporary live music.
The two storied timber, stone and iron lace Hammond & Wheatley Emporium which dominates the townscape, once supplier of groceries and merchandise to the early settler community now caters for visitors with arts, wood crafts and designer fashions.
In and around Bellingen are a variety of accommodations, particularly B&B’s, farm stays and self contained cabins - most in quiet rural hideaways.
If you enjoy jazz, Bellingen’s Jazz Festival is held each August - book early. In between times the Bellingen market is held on the third Saturday of each month.
