Springbrook Lyrebird Retreat

Springbrook Lyrebird Retreat is the perfect escape from the stresses of daily life. Left totally to yourselves, with no phones to distract, you will be immersed in peace and tranquility deep within the rainforest. You will be delighted by the richness of plants and bird life, butterflies, colourful fungi, as well as the pademelons, bandicoots, possums and the many small marsupials that share this forest with you.

In the evening, you can relax in front of a cosy fireplace, enjoy the luxury of a double spa bath, eat, doze, read — whatever takes your fancy — and absorb the special and unique sounds of rainforest nightlife.

Lyrebird Retreat Cottages provide a unique opportunity to restore one’s ancient but vital connections with nature. Awakening to the ancient songs of lyrebirds, bowerbirds, robins, thornbills, treecreepers … evokes a mood of timelessness so rare in today’s busy world. From open decks, you can immerse yourself in the miraculous diversity of rainforests, or you can cuddle up in front of the fireplace and just enjoy the peace and tranquility of your secluded hide-away.
