It was a great place to stay. The location was spectacular and the cottage was extra roomy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Tessa and Stuart were very welcoming and friendly and we highly recommend this place.
Beautiful cabin, we had much needed relaxing stay , Tessa and Stewart made sure every thing in the cabin is high standard, we enjoyed their delicious lunch /dinner menu .
We will love to come back and will highly recommend for friends and family .
This is a superb place for a relaxing break. Great views, wildlife and comfort. Away from the hustle but within a easy drive of food and drink. The meals provided as an extra by the owners were delicious. Would recommend this cottage.

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.
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 😊
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!
Had a great time, beautiful clean and well presented cottage. On our first day there we went for a walk around the property and got to see a Lyrebird in the tree making clacking noises and raising its plumage it then flew down in front of us and then mimicked lots of different birds, it was an amazing experience which we got on video on our phone. Spent the night at the cottage and then went to the Healesville sanctuary the next day and got to see lots of Australian native animals and an amazing dinosaur display. Had dinner at the Bodhi Tree restaurant, there is an actual tree inside the restaurant which the barn like premises is built around. Had some nice pastries from the Beechworth bakery. On our last night at the cottage we had a nice relaxing spa bath and enjoyed a night in the front of the wood burner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
Loved it!
The cottage was very lovely, very clean and well presented. Beautiful quiet location situated close to Healesville and Warburton.
It was a perfect ❤️
We had such an amazing time. The cottages are so cosy. Great for a wkend escape up in the hills but still close enough to town. Will definitely go back.
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.
Lovely cottage, idyllic setting, great views, cool climate, thoughtful hosts, wildlife, poor access for shopping, what is there not to like about Lyrebird cottages!
My partner and I stayed here for one night and absolutely loved this place. The owners were communicative and friendly and the cottage was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. Would definitely return!
This is a perfect location if you're looking to escape the rat-race and enjoy the wholesome creature comforts of an open fire, and deck with bbq and wondrous view, or simply your very own hillside forest and walk. All amenities are provided and the property is pristeen, light and very spacious.
A beautiful and peaceful property high up in the rainforest. We had a fantastic stay, loved the indoor fire place and enjoyed the stunning scenery on the drive up to the cottage. Thanks so much for having us.
The cottage is in the perfect location for quiet and for spotting wildlife. The kitchen is well stocked with basic supplies and our hosts provide meal service and a wine selection. The abode is furnished comfortably and there is a good collection of books and DVDs for the evening. Location is near Healesville Sanctuary, wineries and great bush walks. Altogether a great stay.

A lovely cottage with every amenity you could afl for. The breakfast pack was also delightful.
It was wonderful, even though my partner was a little surprised and frightened when she discovered a moth on her brassiere this morning.

So peaceful so close to the cbd
We enjoyed the serenity in the jungle. It’s a short drive from Melbourne cbd which was very convenient
