About Sunny Corner

Sunny Corner is a small rural locality in the Bellingen Shire Council area on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, situated approximately 7 kilometres south-east of Bellingen township. The locality covers around 43.6 square kilometres of hilly rural land in the valley country between Bellingen and the Bellinger River, within the broader Coffs Harbour regional area. With just 94 residents recorded at the 2021 Census, Sunny Corner is a sparsely populated rural community characterised by small acreage properties and rural lifestyle holdings.

The area's proximity to Bellingen — one of the Mid North Coast's most popular heritage towns — makes Sunny Corner attractive to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle within reach of cafes, galleries, and local produce markets. The wider Bellingen Shire is renowned for its lush valley landscapes, Gondwana-linked rainforests, and the Bellinger River, which offers swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Coffs Harbour, approximately 32 kilometres to the north-east, provides access to major retail, hospital services, and an airport, while the coastal beaches at Urunga and Mylestom are around 20 kilometres away.
