About the area
Mount Toolebewong
Located in Mount Toolebewong, this cottage is in a rural area and in the mountains. Domain Chandon and Innocent Bystander Winery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Mallesons Lookout Bushland Reserve and Badger Creek Bushland Reserve. Consider Rochford Wines Yarra Valley for a night out or Healesville Sanctuary if you're travelling with kids. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

About the host
Hosted by Stewart & Tessa Lockhart
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.

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.
