Bells at Killcare
About
Overview & Vibe
Bells at Killcare sits high on the Bouddi Peninsula on The Scenic Road, ninety minutes north of Sydney, surrounded by untouched national park, secluded beaches and pristine bays.
Setting & Style
It is a boutique coastal retreat done in classic Hamptons — whitewashed shutters, blue and white cottages, an acclaimed regional restaurant and a day spa. The Conservatory carries the receptions: a grand, light-filled room with large white sash timber windows looking over the gardens and pool, a deck opening onto the main lawn, and concertina bi-fold doors at the east end that open to a private garden courtyard. It holds a hundred and twenty seated or two hundred and twenty for a cocktail event. Ceremonies happen on the lawn in the established gardens. Lunchtime weddings are especially popular here, with the sun on the lawns; evening celebrations run 4.30pm to 11.30pm. Twenty-five cottages sleep up to fifty guests on site.
