About the host
Hosted by Belinda Kehoe
Follow Our Journey at Benambra!
The new owners, Matt and Bee recently embarked on an exciting journey relocating from Byron Bay to the charming town of Queenscliff, Victoria.
Formerly successful super hosts of 'Bumble Bee Cottage', they now invite you to join them on their latest adventure at historic 'Benambra.'
How It All Began:
In 2022, Matt and Bee visited Queenscliff on a golf trip, instantly captivated by its seaside allure and stunning Victorian architecture.
Their dream of owning a property in this picturesque location came to fruition in June 2023 with the acquisition of 'Benambra,' a heritage gem built in 1883.
The Property:
At the time the Victorian Guest house built in 1883 boasted 9 bedrooms across two levels, as well as a 2-bedroom Fisherman's Cottage built circa 1860, accessible from Little Hesse Street.
The Creative Force:
With a wealth of experience in building and interior design spanning 15 years, Bee has worked with clients across the Northern Rivers and Byron Shire.
Her expertise promises to infuse both properties with distinctive decorative touches and design flair, offering a refreshing departure from the ordinary hotel experience.
