Paradise
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.

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 😊

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.

About the host

Hosted by Stewart & Tessa Lockhart

Host profile image
Having travelled the world as backpackers for a number of years, we finally chose this beautiful mountain top to put down our roots. We love meeting people from different countries and cultures, speaking different languages and getting out there exploring on our bikes or on foot.

Why they chose this property

We have lived at Lyrebird Cottages since 1997 and the cottages have been open since 2003.
We moved here from central Melbourne to live surrounded by nature but we are only just over an hour to the centre of Melbourne.
The cottages are architect designed to use solar passive design and be light filled. They are spacious and cosy for longer stays as well as short mid-week and weekend getaways from the city.

What makes this property unique

Lyrebird Cottages is about 1 hour 15 minutes from Hoddle street in Melbourne CBD, a short drive and complete change from urban life.
Beautiful mountain top views, lyrebirds and wombats wander the garden and around the cottages.
Only the sound of birds and at night the song of frogs in the garden. There is seven acres of natural forest on the property which a path winds through.
The cottages are clean and modern with every comfort.
Spacious bathroom, bedroom and living areas and a full size kitchen.
They are heated by wood fire and electric heating and each cottage has a large spa in the bathroom. A large private balcony has seating and a barbeque and overlooks the garden. The cottages are about 20 metres apart and are completely private. Wireless internet is provided.
At Lyrebird Cottages you are surrounded by nature. Vineyards, cafes , shops and Healesville Sanctuary are 10 to 15 minutes away when you want to explore the valley. A perfect destination for a weekend break or a longer stay with our discounted rates for longer stays.
