Bellingen Farmstay - Firepit, Games Shed & Plunge Pool | Apartment in Brierfield
2 Bedroom Apartment in Brierfield
Slow mornings, wallaby & rainforest views, firepit dinners and hours of fun in the Games Shed
Five Sticks Farm is a peaceful farmstay just 12 minutes from Bellingen, where families and friends come to slow down, laugh more and spend time together. Wake to birdsong and wallabies, spend afternoons in the Games Shed and evenings around the fire. As one guest said, "We could have easily stayed another week."
Boutique glamping for small groups launches this spring.
The space
Welcome to Paddock Heights at Five Sticks Farm—our 105-acre sustainable fruit and berry farm, just 12 minutes from beautiful Bellingen.
Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully styled, the apartment comfortably sleeps four and has everything you need to settle in and truly unwind. Guests often comment on the incredibly comfortable beds, quality linen and just how well they sleep here—one of the many reasons they leave feeling refreshed and already planning their next visit.
Start your day with coffee on the wraparound deck overlooking the paddocks and rainforest, where wallabies are regular visitors. Spend your afternoons exploring the region, relaxing on the property or enjoying everything the Games Shed has to offer before gathering around the firepit for dinner beneath a sky full of stars.
From November, guests will also enjoy exclusive private sessions in our new plunge pool overlooking the paddocks and rainforest. Boutique glamping for up to four additional guests launches this spring, with further expansion planned in 2027 for larger family getaways and group stays.
The Games Shed
We built the Games Shed as a place for people to spend time together. Somewhere to cook around the fire, play a few games, share a meal or simply sit and chat with a drink at the end of the day.
It's become one of the most talked-about parts of a stay at Five Sticks—and, judging by the reviews, where many of the best memories are made.
"The Games Shed was brilliant and provided many hours of fun." ★★★★★
"There was always something to do." ★★★★★
During your stay you'll enjoy:
• Pool table
• Table tennis
• Darts
• Giant Jenga & Connect 4
• Chess, board games and cards
• Firepit cooking
• Self-guided Paint & Sip experiences (additional cost)
• Seasonal blueberry picking by arrangement
Farm Life
Five Sticks is our family home as well as a working sustainable fruit and berry farm. While the apartment is private, with its own entrance, wraparound deck and guest spaces, you may see us around the property caring for the farm, tending the gardens or continuing our bush regeneration project.
We're also lucky to share the farm with free-ranging chooks and guinea fowl, elusive resident koalas, plenty of wallabies and an incredible variety of native birdlife. Mini Miss Myrtle and Hawksley, our friendly farm dogs, may also wander over to say hello.
Explore the Region
Five Sticks Farm is just 12 minutes from Bellingen and within easy reach of Urunga, Dorrigo National Park, waterfalls, beaches and some of the Mid North Coast's best swimming holes.
Whether you're exploring rainforest walks, browsing local markets, discovering great cafés or spending the day at the beach, the farm is the perfect place to come home to at the end of the day.
We’re always happy to share recommendations — and have plenty of favourite local spots to ensure you have a truly memorable stay.
