Our Story
A Bellingen original.
The Grange is more than a place to stay. It's a working farm with history, heart and a deep connection to the community we call home.
The homestead
Built in 1912, loved ever since.
The Grange began life as a dairy homestead on the edge of Bellingen, raised by a local timber family in 1912. For more than a century its verandahs have welcomed farmhands, families and travellers. Today the old house and its paddocks are a farmstay, where heritage charm meets relaxed country comfort.
