About this property
Kookaburra Cottage- views, wineries, sanctuary,
Home with a View, enjoy breakfast looking out of the large window overlooking the mountains of Healesville. We have chosen all our favourite Oak French Provincial furniture and favourite persian rugs to share with you. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the 6 Kookaburras that like to laugh out loud and sit in the nearby trees.
We have an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. There is a sofa bed in the lounge which can be set up on request. we can also set up a single foam floor mattress on request. There are three bedroom with a queen bed in each. Each bedroom has a wardrobe, bedside table and lamp.
Guests can access the entire home.
Guests can contact us through the air bnb messsge thread, or call on the mobile number provided.
Healesville is a quite residential town with many great cafes and restaurants. there are many lovely walks in the nature parks and along walking trails. 1 hour drive from the snowfields of lake mountain. Popular for yarra valley winerys and the chocolateria. And the world renowned Healesville Sanctuary. There are many nice walks in nature around town such as Maroondah Damn and Badger Weir.
Its best to have a car to see all Healesville and the Yarra Valley have to offer.
