Lyrebirds Nest Cottage
Beautiful cabin in a lovely secluded spot! Ash and his partner were very attentive hosts and great with communication. So nice to wake up to the sound of birds in the morning and sit out on the veranda. Thank you for a great stay!

Lyrebirds Nest Cottage
Beautiful spot with the most amazing view from the cabin. Lots of birds to watch. Lovely rustic cabin with warming fire. Our dog loved swimming in the billabong by the sauna. Ash was very responsive, couldn’t have asked for more.

Beautiful Log Cabin in Nature
With pets ·
Lyrebirds Nest Cottage
I stayed with my partner and 2 dogs. The log cabin was wonderful, has all the amenities you need surrounded by nature. Loved waking up and sitting outside on the deck with a coffee with the view of the trees. It was so peaceful! Ash and Ellie were the perfect hosts and made sure we were comfortable!

Lyrebirds Nest Cottage
Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The wood heater was extremely welcome on the cold nights. It was great to have a bit of a tour of Ash’s farm and animals.
