Bird Hill is a nature-rich cottage on 1 acre of garden, ideal for those who value privacy and presence. Perfect for reconnecting with land, loved ones and yourself. Harvest seasonal produce, watch birds from the private deck, and explore the Yarra Valley.

Here, the pace slows and the senses open. The garden is alive with texture and movement, with each season bringing something different.

Peaceful, soulful, full of character - an ideal base for rest, reflection and Yarra Valley adventures.

At heart, Bird Hill is our family’s getaway—a peaceful and beautiful space we’ve loved over the years and now welcome others who appreciate nature, comfort and quiet connection.

Nestled in the quaint town of Woori Yallock, Bird Hill sits gently on one acre of evolving gardens, with fruit and nut trees, vegetable beds and native blooms. It’s a place where birds can feed from your hand, butterflies drift through citrus blossoms and the rhythm of the land invites you to slow down.

🌿 The Cottage - A true holiday home experience
Built many years ago as a holiday home, Bird Hill still holds that spirit of retreat. Inside, you’ll find a blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. Furnishings and decor is tasteful, practical and sometimes sentimental - chosen to reflect the character of each room. Beds are made using quality linen with comfortable mattresses and the kitchen is exceptionally well equipped: cooking essentials, an array of teas and coffee, spices, condiments, oils, and thoughtful extras you may have forgotten to bring.

In winter, the wood heater adds a warm, cosy glow, while ducted gas heating keeps the cottage snug and welcoming. Air conditioning is available for warmer days.

Outside, the private back deck offers a front-row seat to nature. Many birds including Yellow-Breasted Robins and Grey Fantails often follow you through the garden, while King Parrots, Rosellas and Lorikeets bring bursts of colour. Wildlife is part of the experience—kangaroos, wombats, frogs, lizards, bees and other creatures may make an appearance.

It’s all part of the magic at Bird Hill.
