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.

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!

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!

Our little getaway

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.

Relaxing get together.

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.
