The place is outstanding! Despite spending the rainiest weekend there, we thoroughly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the beautiful surrounding forest. The sauna added a wonderful touch, enhancing our experience. We used the outdoor fireplace near the sauna to cook a barbecue and enjoyed mulled wine, making it a fantastic weekend with friends. Ash was very friendly and helpful, assisting us with everything we needed. Highly recommend!!!"

Cosy cabin, roaring fire - perfect!
Thank you Ash for an incredible stay. I can’t recommend this place highly enough to those looking for a cosy, rustic and memorable experience in nature. Set in a beautiful and serene wood, deep amongst the gum trees, and overlooking a babbling stream - you feel like you’re a million miles away. Dead silent at night, apart from the rain stops on the roof and the crackling fire, this was the perfect autumn get away. The cabin is simple, but is clean and tidy and has everything you need. We used the fire pit in the field and enjoyed sitting around the fire, in disturbed - just with a few sheep and kangaroos for company. In the morning we used the sauna, which worked well and left us feeling, refreshed and clean! Different to the end of most camping trips! You really have the feeling that you have the whole place to yourself, and can use so many features on the property. I’d recommend to anyone who wants to nature bathe, with the the comfort of a cabin, a warm fire and total peace and quiet. Cheers!

The cottage and surrounds are very private and peaceful, with easy access to nearby Bundanoon and Penrose State Park. A great place to relax and explore.

Lyrebirds Nest Cottage
Lovely cabin in the bush on a farmstead, at a peaceful spot almost exactly halfway between Canberra and Sydney. Has all of the amenities that you would expect, and easy to find with clear directions. Friendly and responsive host. Nice spot on the balcony to watch burns and just enjoy the scenery, and several options for having a fire as well as a sauna. Only minor comment is that a "mud map" that shows where the olive grove, sauna, fire pit, etc are located would be useful. But the video of how to get there was very helpful for getting to the right spot for the cabin! Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
