Lovely serene location
Lyrebird cottages was set in a lovely tranquil location, Silver Wattle cottage was clean and comfortable. The breakfast provisions (eggs, bacon, bread, cereal, butter, jam, milk, juice) were great and the owners provided excellent information prior to/during our stay. We were fortunate enough to see the Autumn leaves, pick chestnuts from the property and see a few lyrebirds as well. I would definitely recommend Lyrebird cottages for a weekend away!

Cottage was extremely cosy and very comfortable. Owners were very welcoming and helpful. Loved seeing the lyrebirds wandering around, as well as abundant bird life with the occasional wallaby or three. Such a relaxing stay, will definitely be back to recharge the batteries. Thank you Tessa and Stuart 😊

Beautiful home away from home
This cottage had everything we needed and more. Loved the personal touches and ability to order food and wine from the property although we never used the service. Beautiful area to walk around and definitely worth staying at the cottage.

Perfect little getaway
I had the pleasure of staying for three nights at the property for a midweek creative getaway and it was fabulous staying at the Lyrebird Cottages. The facilities were immaculate and the location was peaceful and it was a joy to listen to the birds. Stewart and Tessa were great hosts and made sure that the experience was exceptional. Thank you and see you soon!

The perfect romantic gateaway
We were very happy to stay away from the civilization, on the top of the mountain where all that matters is that precious time with your beloved one. Not much to say but a wonderful gateaway indeed. We had stunning wild birds come to visit us looking for very close encounters with us which made the place even more memorable. Had the priviledge of seeing the dance and complex song of the lyrabird imitating the songs of countless birds kookaburra included, in the middle of the bush. Just probably good to point out the panoramic views shown in the pictures are not visible anymore, all covered by trees except a tiny spot where the city is visible.
