Review
This distinctive, adults-only boutique hotel is located 90 minutes outside of Sydney. Owing inspiration to the elegance of the Hamptons, Bells at Killcare offers a seaside retreat that blends luxury and sophistication with relaxation.
Its 25 suites and cottages are set among lush gardens, streams, lakes and ponds and feature a summer beach vibe, with driftwood walls, big comfortable chairs and a nautical palette. The cozy verandas are just as delightful as the interiors, with wide-striped awnings, wicker furniture and views overlooking the property grounds.
Manfredi at Bells, located at the heart of the property in the Manor House, is considered among the best restaurants in New South Wales. The menu features authentic, simple and seasonal dishes inspired by the produce grown on the property. The restaurant also offers locally harvested seafood and meat and other items from likeminded local farms.
The sanctuary-like Bells Day Spa offers treatments utilizing the highest quality products with indigenous Australian healing techniques. There are seven beaches for swimming or surfing and several walking trails nearby. Other activities, like whale watching, picnicking or croquet on the lawn, are also available to guests.
Who Should Stay
