"The cottage was exactly as described, and immaculately clean. The property is stunning, and so peaceful. If you're into stargazing or astrophotography, this is an excellent spot as well - I got some beautiful photos."

"The cottage and surrounds are beautiful. The pictures don’t do the cottage justice. This place is actually stunning. Hard to believe it’s only a short trip from Brisbane."

"Malcoms property is to die for."

"Upon closing the timber entry gates and following the tree-lined gravelled drive there is an immediate sense of seclusion. Atop the drive awaits a charming, white timber home and outdoor pavilion that offer spectacular, uninterrupted vistas over the established olive grove toward Ocean View, Mount Mee and the D'Aguilar National Park. Simply spectacular. The modern home is entirely off-grid but nothing is compromised; the house is beautifully appointed, extremely comfortable and has a lovely homely feel. The pride of the owners is evident in every element of the Birdwood property."

"This retreat is beyond expectations, it is one of those rare places on earth that make one's soul sing for joy. More than that, it is such a privilege for us guests that Malcolm is willing to share that paradise he has created and built. It's an astonishing collection of hand-crafted structures carefully sited within in a wondrous agrarian landscape. Capability Brown would be proud of the result."

Malcolm and Heidi provided a beautiful place to stay and relax. The house was lovely and gave the best sleeps we've had in a long time. It was just a short 5 minute drive to Dayboro- a cute little town with plenty of amenities. Would highly recommend to anyone!!!

Hi Malcolm and Heidi,
Thank you so much for the lovely stay we had at Birdwood Farm. It was the cleanest and the best Airbnb experience for us, and we have stayed in many. We will definitely be back again, and I have already told a few people about your place and your story. We enjoyed every inch of the property. The 3 special spaces we hung out mostly were the 'open' lounge, fire pit and pergola area. The views were breathtaking. Most of all, your story and your detailed notes/diary of events were intriguing and captured our deepest feelings for the love and effort you and your family have put in to creating this beautiful place. Our only comment regarding improving the place was if you had more room for a few more people. We're so glad that you have decided to extend the ground floor to have an additional room with an ensuite. This will be appreciated by all who have stayed in your property and wanting to come back with more family/friends. The extra mattresses and beds were super clean and so was the kitchen! Everything was SO ORGANISED and thought of. It was so lovely to meet you both and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. We appreciate you coming all the way to meet us. Thank you very much for your positive review of us. We will keep in touch and contact you when we’re ready to book again.
Have a great week!
Ro, Dinesh and Family

We spent four wonderful days, including our wedding day at Cascade Cottage. From the moment we decided to choose Cascade Cottage Malcolm and Heidi warmly opened open their home to us and wanted to ensure we had the best possible wedding and time there. Nothing was too much of an ask. The cottage itself is breath-taking and the picturesque view stunned us and our guests and made for a wonderful backdrop for our ceremony. Malcolm was on hand to explain or tweak any issues for us and made our stay as calm as could be expected. We'll be going back to re-live the wonderful time we had.

My wife and I booked for two nights of serenity. The property is a true credit to Malcolm’s hard work and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the Dayboro area. The instructions to make our stay more enjoyable and easy were faultless and we both left relaxed and refreshed after our stay.
