Fantastic cottage near the warrumbungles
We had a lovely 5-night stay in Kelly's cottage. The location was perfect for us, close to all the walks with great star gazing at night and kangaroo spotting. It was super quiet and peaceful. The cottage was very well set up with everything we needed, it was clean and modern. Would love to stay again.

We spend a couple of nights here to see the dark sky reserve and had a fantastic stay. The house was clean, tidy, and warm!! We had a lovely time sitting outside and looking at the stars - it really felt like home.

Relaxing Girls Weekend with the Stars
We had a wonderful weekend staying at this lovely property. There were 5 mature aged women who spent a beautiful weekend enjoying everything this area has to offer. Mirrabrook gave us the pleasure of meeting the local kangaroos while sitting around the fire pit enjoying the last rays of sun. The accommodation was more than comfortable and we cooked a delicious baked dinner before we went out for a date with a zillion stars. The beds were realy comfy, the hoyse had everything (andmore) that we needed and our lovely hosts made us feel right at home. We definitely rate this 1zillion stars!!!

Superb Stargazing!
I was at Mirrabook for stargazing and astrophotography and the cottage and site were superb! All the amenities and comforts of home under the finest dark skies on the planet. It’s a stargazing retreat second to none. Highly recommended to any astronomy enthusiast looking to explore the great southern skies. I plan to return!

Perfect place
The cottage was perfect us (two retired couples). Everything we needed was there. The cottage was clean and comfortable and quiet. Nothing was lacking. I highly recommend the cottage as a great place to stay if you are visiting Coonabarabran and/or Warrunbungle National Park like us.

The cottage was very comfortable, clean, modern and quiet. It suited us being close to walks in the Warrumbungles. It was also private with the owners living some distance away.

Cottage in The Warrumbungles
We [2 x 50+ couples} loved staying at Mirrabrook Cottage. The travel instructions were excellent. If you are looking for a peaceful, bush experience close to both Warrumbungle NP and Coonabaraban this cottage is half way to both. The cottage was well equipped and I loved hearing the birdsong every morning and evening, sitting around the open pit fire watching the hills. A very relaxing place with everything you need.

Mirrabook is paradise
My son had the opportunity to do his year 10 work experience at the Anglo Australian Telescope and we chose Mirrabook for its close proximity to the telescope. This was an immaculate cottage that met all our needs. Comfy beds, fully equiped kitchen with a coffee machine. There was even laundry facilities and bbq, fire pit outdoors which we didnt use this stay. I was able to work remotely thanks to the high speed internet connection while my son had the amazing opportunity to work at the telescope. It was bliss gazing out of window at the kangaroo's in the field and waking to the birdsong each mirning.We will definitely be returning for a holiday in the future. Thankyou Wes and Kelly for the opportunity to stay at your cottage in paradise

Stargazing
Mirrabook Cottage is situated in a very pretty and tranquil setting out of town from Coonabarrbran and close to the Worrumbungles. It was clean, comfortable, cosy and restful. While we didn’t cook, the cottage had everything you need to cook and stay put if you want to. We had a fantastic stargazing experience at Milroy and the stars are also beautiful form the cottage as well. Our hosts were there if we needed them but we were totally independent of their homestead and private. Highly recommended.

Hidden Gem
We spent 2 magical nights in the cottage. Perfect place to watch shooting stars at night and kangaroos at the morning. From veranda you can admire magnificent Warrumbungle mountains. It is so comfortable, quiet and private with every little thing provided for. Kelly and Wes have made this a perfect place to relax in a beautiful part of the world. We will be back :)

Walking holiday in the Warrumbungles
We wanted to explore the unique volcanic rocky outcrops and beautiful forests and bush land of the Warrumbungles. This cottage, just at the foothills in peaceful rural setting, was a perfect base and a cosy spot to return to after a day’s exploring. The owners are friendly and helpful. We originally planned to visit in 2021 but were thwarted by lockdowns. Kelly was wonderfully flexible and accommodating. A beautiful and unique spot.

Good location
The location of the property is very convenient for visiting Warrumbungle Park. There were some nice amenities available, such as a coffee machine and a selection of spices. However:- There was no mobile network coverage, and the internet did not work for most of our stay. This was very inconvenient and stressful, especially given the extreme weather conditions, which made it difficult for us to plan our trip accordingly. - The water is not treated or monitored for safety, but this was not mentioned in the advertisement. As a result, we did not have enough water for brushing our teeth or preparing food. - The outdoor area was somewhat messy and not particularly inviting. The setup was not ideal for enjoying the Milky Way and stargazing at night.
