Thornbird Estate

We welcome you to our holiday home, Thornbird Estate. Set on two acres of gardens it’s a combination of elegant country charm and sophisticated modern style. This home is our sanctuary and we have been very mindful when selecting furnishings and products. We support a circular economy, and try to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials and regenerate nature. For us, this also means supporting local, thoughtful businesses. Brands we love and have products available for you to use during your stay are: Sheridan, Country Road, Thank You, Koala Eco & The Dirt. As you know, we love Australian cotton! I thoroughly enjoyed styling with locally grown cotton stems and we prioritising the use of Australian cotton linen and napery throughout!
