Absolutely beautiful home set right in the trees. Well thought out - with all the amenities you could need, all in an eco friendly way. A gorgeous spot to relax on the balcony and listen to the birds. Plenty of space for 4 without feeling like you’re on top of each other. Can’t recommend this stay enough - we’ll certainly be back!

Nikki and her group were absolutely fantastic guests at Lyrebird House! They were respectful, considerate, and truly enjoyed the serene atmosphere. Their communication was excellent, and they left the property in immaculate condition. We can't recommend them highly enough and would be delighted to host them again.

We had a very relaxing stay at Lyrebird House. It’s absolutely blissful to wake up to the birds singing and the sounds of the rainforest. It was peaceful and quiet. There was a lovely outdoor deck to eat outside and the BBQ was connected to the mains so we didn’t have to mess around with gas bottles. We appreciated the water supplied. The only thing we were missing was a toaster, but this was our first off the grid experience, so maybe it’s not eco friendly? Apart from that we enjoyed our stay.

Secluded oasis set in rainforest

Lyrebird House was gorgeous! The photos are true to life, giving an accurate impression of the property. It was a short drive off the highway (approx 15 mins)and very easy to locate. Once we had checked in, we felt we were a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The property contained everything we needed for a weekend escape and the off-grid nature did not in any way inhibit our stay. I loved the stylish decor with lots of subtle decorator touches that made it feel luxurious and homey. Also, spotlessly clean!The large deck was a great spot to sit with a morning coffee or late afternoon drink. The area offers lots of places to visit within a short drive - we especially enjoyed exploring Berry (approx 15 mins away) with its boutique shops and fabulous restaurants. Thank you to the hosts. We loved our stay at Lyrebird House and will definitely be back!!

We really appreciated their consideration and would highly recommend them to any host. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting them again in the future!
