“Peace and quiet in the big city!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I wanted to be close to relatives but still have a place to call "home". That is exactly how Lyrebird cottage felt. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. The hosts were generous and helpful but not intrusive. The area is a quiet suburb but only a few blocks away from good restaurants, cinema, and shopping malls. If you are eager to go the CBD of Sydney, this may be a bit out of the way as taking a train would be easiest (the station is not far) but as I had no interest in going there, I was very happy with the Cottage. Food is lovely and if you are looking for a peaceful rest in a private spot than this is B n' B is for you!

We are 11km from the city centre and the train takes about 20 minutes to get there (station is an 8 minute walk from the B&B). A big plus about being slightly "away" from it all is the peaceful location, native wildlife and close proximity to National Parks. If you want the best of both worlds we are in an ideal location!

“It was super”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010

We have stayed at Lyrebird Lodge a number of times now - it is just lovely - with the interior stone walls and comfortable beds - worth a visit if you need good accommodation on the north shore and dont want a motel or hotel. It has a well equiped kitchen.

“A quiet retreat from a big city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

Lyrebird Lodge is a perfect retreat for those visiting Sydney and not wanting the hustle and bustle accompanying accommodation close to the city. That said, transport is not a problem with relatively easy access by road, rail and bus. It is also within walking distance to Chatswoood Shopping Centre.

The accommodation itself is very clean, functional and sensibly furnished. It has a very peaceful outlook to Lane Cove National Park and is very quiet. Budget permitting it is suitable for stays of several weeks. It would also suit those with or without young children. Graeme and Sarah are very pleasant hosts. I would certainly recommend Lyrebird Lodge to family and friends and will consider it again when next we visit Sydney.
