Lyrebird Cottages, Mountain Ash cottage, Relax in nature in the Yarra Valley.

Everything was great. Tessa and Stewart are quick to respond to any query and super friendly. The cottage was lovely and had a great view. We ordered from the Lyrebird menu and the food instructions were easy to understand and the food was delicious. The place was tranquil and peaceful.

This was the second time we’ve stayed here; it is a wonderful place, very roomy, spotlessly clean, with everything you need including the provisions for a cooked breakfast on your first morning. The setting in the bush is magical and we did see some lyrebirds.

Absolute bliss. We loved the warmth and charm of Mountain Ash cottage. Our weekend made perfect by all of the ‘little things’ from our gracious hosts. Thank you so much.

Wombats. That's the review. I'm not sure how to make this easier for everyone but there are wonderful wombats around the property. They come right up to the accommodation. They LOVE eating the chestnuts that fall off the surrounding trees in autumn/winter. Best times are early evening after dark until about 9pm and then sporadically until about 4am. There is at least two that visit the property: - One very big, lovely wom-chonker. Shiny coat with excellent wombooty. This Wombat doesn't easily spook and is happy to come within 5m of people in the search for good grass to eat. - One small, cute and very timid wombubba. This wee little wom doesn't like interacting with the other wombat and gets spooked by cars that go past on the road. it prefers to hang around the tree line to feel safe. In the local area, we were able to spot four more along the roads in Mt Toolebewong and paddocks. They are all excellent. All of them significantly more marvelous than the lyrebirds and other wildlife present. Sure, watching exquisite birds wander through the under-canopy along with deer is pretty, but they have nothing on the wombies. Go for the Wombats. The Cottages are fantastic in every way but you'll soon understand you're also paying for the privilege to be around those sweet wombies.
