Bellbird Studio, pet friendly, glamping getaway

Bellbird Studio is a free standing cabin sheltered beneath a riparian forest canopy situated at the base of Kenilworth Bluff. The property is on the outskirts of Kenilworth in the Heart of the Mary Valley. This is a birdwatchers paradise only 40 mins from Noosa beaches and 20 mins from the famous Eumundi & Yandina Markets.

The studio was originally built by an artist and has been recently renovated to provide a unique "Glamping" experience. Imagine yourself wrapped in our fluffy bathrobes in front of the studio's internal wood heater or watching the stars come out around the outdoor fire.

There is a heated spa and alfresco "bush" shower located on the covered northern deck with private bush views. There is also a flushing septic toilet, indoor shower and vanity on the eastern deck.

The king ensemble with 100% cotton linen will ensure you a luxurious and deep sleep. The internal kitchenette combined with a gas BBQ with side burner on the deck will meet your holiday culinary needs. You have a choice of inside, deck or fireside dining and wining.

We have approximately 30 acres of paddocks & bush available for you and your off leash pets to explore including access to "The Bluff" for the more adventurous. It's been rumored that Greg Postle used to camp here seeking solitude and subjects for his famous paintings as a resident of Kenilworth. A short marked track commencing from the back of the studio takes you into some of the last remaining privately owned original rain forest in this area containing massive buttress fig trees.

You can tour the Blackall range visiting Mapleton, Flaxton, Monteville and Maleny's many craft shops, gallery's, winerys and restaurants. Then you could continue to the Australian Zoo (20mins from Maleny & 45mins from Kenilworth). Perhaps continue to the Glass House Mountains returning via Woodford and Conondale to Kenilworth.

Many of our guests have enjoyed visiting the small country towns, and their markets, ( Kandanga, Imbil, Dagun,Brooloo and Ammamoor ) of the Mary Valley on their way to Gympie (40mins) and Tin Can Bay (80mins). Ride The Mary Valley Rattler from Imbil to Gympie and back for a different view of the Mary Valley.

The Sunshine Coast is famous for it's markets and of course there is always the Coolum, Noosa, Maroochydoor & Mooloolaba beaches, rivers and lakes to spend the day at. Kenilworth is surrounded by the magnificent National Parks of Noosa, Mapleton and Conondale which provide many walks.

Your get away at the Bellbird Studio can be as relaxing or as active as you want it to be. The possibilities are endless and the choice is yours however there is no WIFI.

Pets are most welcome if organised with owner prior to stay. There is a $10 per night charge for pet stays. Pets may stay inside if supervised by their owners. The decks provide a safe and secure covered area when owners need to leave their pets behind. Please bring your own firewood if you would like a fire. Owners permission for fires required durings dry seasons because of fire bans.

Great little bush stay
The property was clean and suited us just perfectly for a hike up Kenilworth Bluff. Great little bush stay for a couple of days and our host, John was informative and kind. If you want to do the walk and have a great stay in the bush, I would recommend John amd Kym"s place

Quiet Retreat
Lovely relaxing weekend. Loved that it was dog friendly. Spa was a wonderful bonus and such a comfortable big bed was appreciated. Cabin was just our style - rustic and very comfy. The forest view from the bed each morning and the birds singing away was so nice. Walking tracks were not really suitable for walking dog but we enjoyed working down the entry road and back. 😊Overall lovely and relaxing place to stay with old charm we found comforting.

Unwind 🔥🏠❤️👌
We recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming cabin nestled in the woods, and it was an unforgettable experience. The cabin exudes a cozy, rustic charm with its warm wooden interiors and thoughtful decor. The highlight was undoubtedly the hot tub, perfectly situated to offer a serene view of the surrounding bush. Relaxing in the bubbling water under a starlit sky was pure magic. Inside, the fireplace added to the cabin’s inviting ambiance. It was the perfect spot to unwind with a book while the fire crackled away. The cabin was well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat to reconnect with nature and enjoy some tranquility, this cabin is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!
