Whether you are an avid bird watcher or simply looking for a peaceful retreat to reconnect with nature, this is the place! Situated behind Spurwing Cottage, enjoy the tranquillity amongst the trees, bird watching (maybe with a G&T).
The hide amongst the trees on the edge of the dam offers a perfect vantage point to observe a rich variety of birdlife in their natural habitat. Fish eagles, kingfishers, crown cranes and secretary birds are only but a few that have been seen from the Bird Hide.

They had a great time and really enjoyed the overall experience at the accommodation and the BonFire was a hit. We had such an awesome time and when the lights went out the stars switched on which was amazing to see. We will definitely recommend Bellwood to other golf groups and others for a getaway.
