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.

Just Perfect

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.

an oasis in the yarra valley -

a relaxing and peaceful space in which to rest, relax and re- energize. The drive up to the stay is refreshing as you soak in the Australian bush. Make it a priority for your next stay away.

Matt and Anna's start of honeymoon

We have absolutely adored our stay here, we could not have picked a better place to spend our first couple of nights together. The scenery was stunning, the air fresh, the area tranquil, and the cottage itself was more lovely and comfortable than we anticipated. Tessa and Stewart are wonderful hosts and communicated very well. Cannot recommend highly enough, will definitely be back.

Peaceful and perfect

The property was beautiful. So quiet and peaceful. Well presented. Only negative was that we weren't familiar with the area and it was a little further out of town than we anticipated. But that has its appeals too!

Exceeded expectations!

We had the most wretched weather and it didn't matter one bit because this property was so beautiful. We felt at home even as it felt like a complete break. They thought of everything. One thing: we think the spa wasn't working! Very child and dog friendly (we didn't bring our dog but could have) and so many beautiful surprises on the property including the gorgeous lily pond. Thanks so much :)

Perfect Getaway!

We wanted some peace and quiet and to have a rest away from it all over New Year, and five nights at Mountain Ash was the perfect choice! The drive up Mt Toolebewong, the magnificent views, the comfy, spotlessly clean cottage with everything we could possibly wish for made sure of that! We even had a delicious three-course meal cooked by a local chef delivered to our door on NYE for an extremely reasonable extra cost. We didn’t need to go anywhere, although it is a short drive to all the conveniences and delights of the Yarra Valley. Did I mention the views? We loved it! One of the best we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot!

Cosy luxury amongst the trees

What a find. We stayed in the Mountain Ash cottage which was perfect for a romantic getaway. This elevated little retreat has views to the city from the wrap-around deck and access to meander the surrounding forest in search of lyrebirds and wombats. Otherwise, you might like to stay in by the log fire with something selected from the bookcase, dvd or games shelf. The fully equipped modern kitchen was a delight to cook in and alternatively a la carte meals were available. Thank you for your welcoming hospitality and sharing your lovely place with us.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay apart from waking up to no electricity on our last day. We ended up packing up and leaving earlier than planned as it was absolutely freezing not being able to turn the heaters on. I am still waiting for a reply from the owner about that issue. A shame our weekend had to end abruptly due to this. There was also a constant unpleasant smell in the bathroom, issues with the plumbing I assume.
