Lyrebirds Nest Cottage

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

Hosts were wonderful and very helpful- great place for getting away and enjoying nature. Would recommend if you want a break for a couple of days that is not too far from the city.

Lyrebirds Nest Cottage

Absolutely loved this place! Ash the host is so welcoming upon arrival and departure. Such a good getaway cabin located amongst the forest trees. The view from the cabin is all trees, waking up to the sounds of birds and wind rustling the leaves was bliss. The fireplace we kept going the whole time to keep warm which gave the place a very cosy feel. The firepit outside was such a winner for roasting & toasting. Not hearing anything other than the sounds of nature was a good hard reset to the mind & body. Kids loved it, with the assistance of fast wifi. Definitely worth coming back to.

Incredible location; looking out from the balcony into a gully. A dip in the dam with a sauna after. Ash and Ellie were friendly, accomodating and always there to help.
