Currently operating as a council approved B&B, Rivendell is an AAA 4 star rated, 1937 California Bungalow on an 885 m2 block, Rivendell is ideally located with main road frontage on the Waterfall Way, in the centre of town & opposite the Visitor Centre.

The large Bellingen style house is built of solid timbers harvested locally and sits on brick piers surrounded by lush established gardens.

All the rooms are distinctively and beautifully furnished & decorated and have that old time quaint and cosy feel about them as you sit in front of the log fire to beat the winter blues away.

The kitchen is well designed with stainless steel appliances, double pull-out pantry drawers, plenty of bench and cupboard space, with an island and computer nook.

The property consists of 3 queen bedrooms with ensuites and 1 twin bedroom with 2 king singles and private bathroom.

All the rooms open to wide verandahs via French doors with their own outdoor settings. There is a guest sitting/lounge room with slow combustion fire and a breakfast room seating 8. There is also an alfresco breakfast area on the verandah.

The freshwater swimming pool was re-furbished in November 2012 and out the rear there is off-street parking for 4-5 guest cars and owner/manager single car lock up garage. There is an undercover enclosed area can also easily be converted to a car space if required.

In addition to the main house there is a 1 bedroom owner/manager apartment with functional, easy clean, stainless steel appliance kitchen.

Rivendell is currently managed by a sole owner/ operator since 1995. Rivendell is well known, respected, well maintained and well established with consistent occupancy and return guests.

This property, to be sold as a walk in-walk out business would suit single or couple seeking semi-retirement lifestyle with good income in the picturesque, friendly & vibrant, well touristed country town of Bellingen. The domain name, email address and membership of Bellingen’s Best Places to Stay group will pass to new owner.

Renowned for its festivals, dining/cafe and music scene, arts & crafts, local organic produce and general markets, Bellingen is 20 minutes from the Rainforest Centre gateway to the world heritage listed Dorrigo National Park and 15 minutes to the outstanding beaches of the Mid North Coast.

Bellingen is approx halfway between Sydney & Brisbane and 20 minutes from Coffs Harbour International airport.

Frodo was now safe in the last homely home west of the sea. That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, “a perfect house whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all”. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness.
