Thank you for providing a beautiful clean property in a stunning location and for the warm welcome and attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.
My stay was peaceful and enjoyable. The house was exactly as pictured and Tessa was lovely and helpful. Lots of nice things to do nearby too! Would stay again :)
Gorgeous property, exactly what we were looking for. Very comfortable, fantastic facilities and lots of little extras that made it special. Being able to watch the lyrebirds from in front of the wood heater topped it off!
Beautiful cottage with lovely views - it was so peaceful and secluded .The cottage is finished to a high standard , we had very cold spring weather (2cel & under) but were toasty warm with wood fire on every night - hosts were charming - everything was perfect games/books/music wine & meals are also available - luxury rural stay
a relaxing and peaceful space in which to rest, relax and re- energize. The drive up to the stay is refreshing as you soak in the Australian bush. Make it a priority for your next stay away.
We have absolutely adored our stay here, we could not have picked a better place to spend our first couple of nights together. The scenery was stunning, the air fresh, the area tranquil, and the cottage itself was more lovely and comfortable than we anticipated. Tessa and Stewart are wonderful hosts and communicated very well. Cannot recommend highly enough, will definitely be back.
Great experience, amazing way to spend a quiet birthday!
Communication with the property managers was great from the beginning. They answered all our questions and were amazing hosts. The property was in great condition, very clean and had all the basic amenities we needed. We had an amazing time and will surely go back.

Peaceful and perfect
The property was beautiful. So quiet and peaceful. Well presented.
Only negative was that we weren't familiar with the area and it was a little further out of town than we anticipated. But that has its appeals too!
We had the most wretched weather and it didn't matter one bit because this property was so beautiful. We felt at home even as it felt like a complete break. They thought of everything. One thing: we think the spa wasn't working! Very child and dog friendly (we didn't bring our dog but could have) and so many beautiful surprises on the property including the gorgeous lily pond. Thanks so much :)
We wanted some peace and quiet and to have a rest away from it all over New Year, and five nights at Mountain Ash was the perfect choice! The drive up Mt Toolebewong, the magnificent views, the comfy, spotlessly clean cottage with everything we could possibly wish for made sure of that! We even had a delicious three-course meal cooked by a local chef delivered to our door on NYE for an extremely reasonable extra cost. We didn’t need to go anywhere, although it is a short drive to all the conveniences and delights of the Yarra Valley. Did I mention the views? We loved it! One of the best we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot!
What a find.
We stayed in the Mountain Ash cottage which was perfect for a romantic getaway.
This elevated little retreat has views to the city from the wrap-around deck and access to meander the surrounding forest in search of lyrebirds and wombats.
Otherwise, you might like to stay in by the log fire with something selected from the bookcase, dvd or games shelf.
The fully equipped modern kitchen was a delight to cook in and alternatively a la carte meals were available.
Thank you for your welcoming hospitality and sharing your lovely place with us.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay apart from waking up to no electricity on our last day. We ended up packing up and leaving earlier than planned as it was absolutely freezing not being able to turn the heaters on. I am still waiting for a reply from the owner about that issue. A shame our weekend had to end abruptly due to this. There was also a constant unpleasant smell in the bathroom, issues with the plumbing I assume.
Wombats. That's the review.
I'm not sure how to make this easier for everyone but there are wonderful wombats around the property.
They come right up to the accommodation.
They LOVE eating the chestnuts that fall off the surrounding trees in autumn/winter.
Best times are early evening after dark until about 9pm and then sporadically until about 4am.
There is at least two that visit the property:
- One very big, lovely wom-chonker. Shiny coat with excellent wombooty. This Wombat doesn't easily spook and is happy to come within 5m of people in the search for good grass to eat.
- One small, cute and very timid wombubba. This wee little wom doesn't like interacting with the other wombat and gets spooked by cars that go past on the road. it prefers to hang around the tree line to feel safe.
In the local area, we were able to spot four more along the roads in Mt Toolebewong and paddocks.
They are all excellent.
All of them significantly more marvelous than the lyrebirds and other wildlife present. Sure, watching exquisite birds wander through the under-canopy along with deer is pretty, but they have nothing on the wombies.
Go for the Wombats. The Cottages are fantastic in every way but you'll soon understand you're also paying for the privilege to be around those sweet wombies.
As we ascended the lush beautiful road into Lyrebird cottages, an absolute sense of awe and calmness envelop you. Serene, picturesque, stunning in every way. Beautiful cottage perched right atop Mt Toolebewong amongst stunning bushland with the most incredible views over Yarra valley and Melbourne. An absolute credit to Stewart and Tess, this has got to be one of the best getaways in Australia.
