"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."
Experience Cascade Cottage for yourselves - you will not be disappointed with your 5-star choice of luxury country accommodation.

Such a beautiful house and view! Beds were so comfortable and Malcolm was such a great host. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our pre and post wedding stay 😊

Cascade Cottage has been built and is maintained with so much heart and warmth. My young boys and I spent a week of relaxation and adventure here. We watched eagles soar, mist float down the valley, and toasted marshmallows by the firepit. We loved the trails around the property and the proximity to national parks. There was plenty to do if we wanted, but it was easy to simply relax and enjoy also.
The kitchen is fully equipped and essentials catered for. Comfortable bedrooms with plenty of space and storage. Firewood and kindling was ready and waiting. Appreciated all the facilities including full laundry. The proximity to Daybro with such friendly and kind people was a bonus.
There aren't too many holiday homes that come with a story, however this one does. It was lovely to learn the story of Cascade Cottage and how it continues to grow over the years. Warmest and most relaxing holiday home we've had the pleasure of staying in. Thank you Malcolm and Haidee!

We had the best wedding weekend at Cascade Cottage! Malcolm and Heidi were so amazing at answering our many emails of questions, and made us feel so looked after! The place is absolutely stunning and so well thought out! We enjoyed a few days before our wedding day with our family and bridal party, which just made it feel so much more fun! Everyone was raving about the place and the incredible views! Would definitely recommend Cascade Cottage to anyone!

I booked Malcolm and Heidi's gorgeous Hampton style Cascade Cottage as a surprise stay for my wife's 40th. The whole party, her parents, her brother & wife and our kids had no idea until arriving there. Everyone was stunned with the place, the views and the facilities. With some awesome weather we had a ball of a time at their place. Every little detail was well thought through.
The communication and instructions were provided well in advance. I requested an early check-in and Malcolm & Heidi were very nice and accommodating they even gave me the access code the previous night itself!!
I can't recommend their place enough for a memorable stay!!

This is our 2nd time staying at this incredible property! Malcolm and Heidi are incredible hosts from the time we booked our accommodation. The attention to detail in this amazing property is something else. We love the open space this property provides. We will be back in 2025 for our annual winter crochet weekend. Thanks for having us again.

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.

Dream holiday away! My wife almost cried of joy when we arrived! The stay was perfect and we had the opportunity to meet Malcolm (the owner) and got a really good history lesson of the property and what he has created here. Highly recommended stay and has everything you need + more!
