Farm Stay Kiama | 3 Bed Retreat | Fireplace & Bath

Nestled between the Southern Highlands and the South Coast, a scenic 5 minute drive from Kiama, along the rolling green hills of Saddleback Mountain, is ‘Lyrebird Cottage’.

An architecturally renovated oasis set amidst 50 acres of lush forest. Our 3-bedroom retreat offers Pacific Ocean views from a sprawling balcony, marrying the tranquil forest ambience with the majestic sights of sunrises over the ocean.

Enjoy a glass of local wine while soaking in the bath or in front of the fireplace.

Our cottage, freshly renovated in 2022, boasts 3 well-appointed bedrooms and 2 pristine baths—including a luxurious bathtub—with views overlooking lush bushland providing an unparalleled escape. Come nightfall, the slow-combustion fireplace becomes your companion, best enjoyed with a local red wine and a favourite book. By day, let the sun's embrace greet you as you take in mesmerising views of the Pacific, set against our verdant 50-acre sanctuary.

Modern essentials like high-speed Wi-Fi, a smart TV, and a well-stocked kitchen ensure comfort, and additional offerings like children’s bedding, toys, and blankets provide a seamless family travel experience. airbnb.com/h/lyrebirdcottage

Fantastic Getaway

We had such a wonderful time staying at Lyrebird Cottage! Clean, tidy, cosy, welcoming, easy to access, well equipped and incredibly picturesque! Our family of 5 (1 x tween and 2 x teens) had a wonderful stay and hope to return before too long. An easy drive to Kiama (and Jamberoo) but nestled away in peaceful bushland, it was the perfect get away location for us.

Our Favourite Accommodation on our driving holiday!

What a perfect place to stay in Kiama! Our family of five loved our two-night stay at Lyrebird Bush Cottage. It was beautifully presented and we appreciated how well appointed and clean it was whilst still been family friendly. Our favourite part of our stay was waking up to the magnificent sea view with the bush surrounding us and bird calls aplenty. We also loved the detailed list that Emily sent us via our Stayz inbox of all the local 'best of' list on the day of our arrival- we certainly took it as a challenge to see, eat, drink and do all that we could on that list (coffee and local fish and chips recommendations etc = perfect). Do yourself a favour and enjoy this little slice of heaven. Thanks Emily, we loved it!

Relaxing Stay

The stay started off terribly with a woeful check in.. we were left stranded for 4hours with a newborn and toddler whilst waiting for the check in code (the owner had messaged the previous day to say we could have access to the property from midday). We were unable to reach the owner and stayz did not have access to the code. This was extremely stressful as it was cold outside and my newborn was unsettled. Thankfully we received the code late in the afternoon and we were able to warm up by the fire. A bit of compensation for this inconvenience would have been appreciated. The property was very cosy, warm and comfortable. My parents loves the lyrebirds and my son loved the wallaby. The play equipment was a bit run down and damp with a couple of leaches spotted. My son made good use of the toys and books. The master bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was really modern. The area is some of the most lush countryside I’ve ever been in and we look forward to returning to the area soon.

Cosy escape great for the family

Emily and Trent’s house was the perfect escape away. From the peaceful surroundings to the cosy fireplace and play area at the back for the kids. The house is clean and comes with all the luxuries. Beds are super comfy too! We had a great time and will definitely be back
