We had an amazing time at Bellrock with Peter & Lorraine taking perfect care of us. We can only recommend Bellrock to people that are looking for an amazing view that is yet quite and in walking distance to the heart of Russell. More

Lorraine & Peter were the most wonderful hosts, nothing was too much for them to do. An absolutely beautiful place to stay, gorgeous scenic surroundings. We wish we had stayed longer than the 1 night. They organised trips for us and all we had to do was turn up, just superb lovely people. I would highly recommend staying here. More
