Named after the bird whose warbling song is one of the most recognisable sounds of the Australian bush, Magpie Villa is a favourite with our guests — and it’s easy to see why.

Large windows open onto the private garden, filling the villa with natural light. A comfortable king bed sits alongside a spacious lounge and dining area, giving the whole space an easy, open feel.

The kitchenette is fully equipped: full-size fridge, hot plate, microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee machine, plus everything you need for a cook-your-own breakfast — eggs, bacon, bread for toasting, cereal, milk, orange juice, tea and coffee. The bathroom features a large walk-in shower, custom vanity and toilet.

Step outside onto Magpie’s long verandah, joining directly with Cockatoo’s next door — a sunlit spot for morning coffee or evening drinks as the light fades.

Every villa comes with reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans and a wood-fired heater (April to October), free parking at your door, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
