Aniseed is certainly "off the beaten track", but what a place! Peace and quiet and a million stars are your neighbours with that fantastic view of the Bellingen/Dorrigo hinterland. The villa is very well laid out and felt just like home. A huge King sized bed made sleeping a dream and then just one step off the balcony into the... More

This place has to be the best place to stay for total relaxation in Australia! This is our second time staying at Aniseed for our wedding anniversary and we will definitely be back! We have stayed in some amazing properties worldwide and this place is only 30 minutes from our home but it is truly up there with the best... More

We stayed 2 nights at Aniseed and thought it was one of the better boutique accommodation stays we have had recently. The one bedroom villa we stayed in is privately tucked away in a pristine spot on the Promised Land Loop Rd about 10 minute drive from Bellingen. The outlook over the nearby mountains is beautiful and as the villa... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Aniseed and can honestly say we have never felt so relaxed or pampered. The villas are beautifully designed with gorgeous additions (huge, comfy bed with soft cotton sheets, organic bathroom treats including their own handmade soaps and fabulous kitchen set-up) but what really struck us was the total feeling of...

We were looking for luxury in a country setting; we wanted privacy and stylish comfort - and we found it.

I guess I'm disappointed because I had high expectations from the web site and other reviews.

Insect nets had holes in them, so sleeping with the windows open was difficult... More

Aniseed Luxury Villas in The Promised Land valley are a fantastic place to get away from the rat race of Sydney. If you really want to start your holidays with the ultimate de-stress stay then this is it. Spa treatments, dinner hampers, outdoor spa (which my daughter loved) and private candlelit dinners all make for a fantastic stay. This is... More

Aniseed Luxury Villas are wonderful. The 2 villas are cleverly positioned to provide maximum privacy. They are new, with a great design and well appointed. Peaceful and quiet- had the best sleeps. Rod and Jo are perfect hots- available but not intrusive. Highly recommend Aniseed Luxury Villas.

What a wonderful place to relax and unwind, the food was wonderful and the surroundings peaceful. We will be back.
