The White Cottage Munro Cottage
White Cottage Munro Cottage

In 1822 Newcastle ceased to be a penal settlement for convicts, thus allowing the Colonial Secretary to open up land in the Hunter Valley for free settlers.

The White Cottage

In 1832 when the surveyor, Robert Dixon, was commissioned to map the Mount Royal Range (Barrington Tops), the superintendent's cottage on Belltrees, 'The White Cottage' built by Hamilton Collins Sempill, was recorded as a landmark.

This original convict-built sandstock cottage has two ensuite flats, sitting room with open fireplace, kitchen and laundry.

The White Cottage is situated on the banks of the Hunter River and is the ideal place for an intimate and private country escape, or just a great place to spend time with friends and family.

Munro Cottage is named after Bob Munro, a Belltrees employee who lived in the cottage with his family from the 1940s to the 1970s. The cottage has four bedrooms, a kitchen, a fireplace and can accommodate up to eight guests.

For all cottages meals can be taken at the Country House B&B by prior arrangement. Food hampers can be delivered or you can bring your own food. As with all Belltrees cottages, guests at the Munro have use of the swimming pool and tennis courts at the Country House B&B 1km down the Belltrees Road. All Country House activities are yours to enjoy.

Self-contained accommodation also available in our hideaway Mountain Retreat.

Deposit: 50% within 7 days of booking.
Cancellations within one week forfeit deposit but deposit becomes transferable.
