The most relaxing time I have had in a long, long time. Only problem was we only stayed one night. We'll be back, next time for two or three nights. My husband and I stayed in Silver Wattle Cottage and it was just perfect. Views across to Melbourne's skyline in the distance; beautiful maple and liquidamber trees outside our bedroom... More

What an amazing place to stay! It was so peaceful and relaxing, the perfect place for a weekend escape. The owners were fantastic, we were greeted by them on arrival and left to enjoy the place by ourselves but very helpful when it come to places to eat in Healesville. As there are only 2 cottages on the property we... More

I took my wife to the cottages for her birthday and just wind down and do nothing. It was perfect, peace and quiet and no one else around. The owners just leave you to yourself but are very helpful if you need anything. The cottage it's self has everything you need and a big spa bath to sit in and... More

As we parked the car we were already amazed by our surroundings. We were looking for somewhere reasonably priced for our 10th Anniversary. I chose this cottage because of the price and the pictures on the webpage. I was shocked & pleasantly surprised when we entered the cottage, for the price we paid. It was beautiful! It was secluded, quite,... More

This cabin was in a wonderful, remote setting. There a lots of lovely features to enjoy - especially the fireplace, spa, robes, lovely linens, the tasty supplied breakfast, excellently appointed kitchen and lovely mud brick interior features. The styling is basic but comfortable. A couple of improvements could be made - firstly, a dining table would be a welcome addition... More

Thanks for your comments. We're glad to read your response to the natural surroundings, it does feel remote from the city and yet we're only one hour twenty minutes from Hoddle Street and the Eastern freeway in the city. I agree with your remarks about the kitchen bench stools. They were custom built in Australian timber to compliment the benchtops.... More

They have 2 beautiful cottages, we stayed at the Mountain Ash & it did not disappoint - we enjoyed our 5 night stay immensely. The Lyrebird Cottages is located on Mt Toolebewong, a short drive from the town of... More

A return visit to Lyrebird Cottages and it still doesn't disappoint. Warm and comfortable in the middle of winter with a log fire, music, books and DVD's. There are myriad birds in the trees round about, a wombat closeby and the lyrebird isn't too far away. Good time to visit here is in June/ early July when the Archibald Exhibition... More

After having a friend from Perth recommend Lyrebird Cottages with such high accolades it certainly did not disappoint. The location is absolutely amazing! The drive up to the cottages and their scenic surrounds are gorgeous with views over the lights of Melbourne at night. The cottage itself was outstanding; bed was comfy, we loved the large spa in the spacious... More

What a sweet, sweet home away from home! This 2-cottage retreat is hidden in the hill about 15 minutes from Healsville. Every corner within the cottage and surrounding the cottage is just perfect for holiday. The open kitchen is well equipped. The leisure corner is equipped with a selection of thoughtful CDs, books, etc. We will definitely go back again... More
