Lyrebirds Nest Cottage

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The wood heater was extremely welcome on the cold nights. It was great to have a bit of a tour of Ash’s farm and animals.

Lyrebirds Nest Cottage

Such a beautiful cabin and gorgeous property! Thanks Ash for having us, it was just what we wanted. We fell in love with the sheep and goats and the sauna was such a luxe addition to our little adventure. It was really windy so we didn't make use of the outdoor fire pits but they looked like a great set up too. Can't wait to come back.

Truly special family getaway!

We had a great stay in the beautiful bush cabin of Ash & Ellie! It was truly special to fully enjoy their property with our young family, as well as exploring the surrounding areas. For us it was the perfect way to celebrate our birthdays with a cosy winter getaway! Thanks so much, we will highly recommend it to everyone!

Enjoyable break and get away
