The house was beautifully presented and clean.
The views were stunning and we had a very relaxed 5 day stay.
The hosts were easy to contact and lovely to deal with.
Kookaburra Cottage was a great place to spend the weekend with friends. It had everything we needed as well as great views across Healesville to the mountains. We even had a visit by a very friendly kookaburra!
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, and found it so charming and relaxing, it was everything we expected. We had planned to visit a few places nearby, but ended up staying and having our meals here as well. Why would you want to leave, the birdlife was beautiful, we would certainly recommend this place.
What a wonderful place! Thoughtfully and beautifully appointed, the cottage has everything you need for a relaxing and very comfortable stay in this beautiful part of the Yarra Valley. With views over to the mountains, it has a lovely outlook and is perfectly positioned close to the main shopping precinct in Healesville (a gorgeous town with everything you need). Beds were super comfy, the cottage was spotlessly clean and communication with the owners was great. Absolute bonus to be able to enjoy visits from a cheeky family of king parrots, rosellas, and of course kookaburras. Thank you for an amazing stay!
This house is in a lovely peaceful location not far from Healesville town centre with beautiful views out to the mountains.
Everything about the accommodation is exactly as depicted in the description and photos. It’s airy, spacious, well equipped and beautifully clean.
We’re all planning on going back!
Great location and wonderful views. Easy distance to town centre.
Natural surroundings, lots of birds .
Need to put the house number on the fence facing the road address. You actually enter property from side road, tricky and confusing in the dark.
