Lovely and well thought out cottage. Beautiful fireplace and very comfy bedrooms and lounges. Loves being among the trees. Good location and not a long drive to various locations around Dandenong Ranges. A lovely getaway.

Hello I have not answered your request as the property was damaged in a storm before we were due to arrive and it was under an insuranceclaim.
I am sure it would have been a lovely stay and we were sad that we didn’t get to enjoy it…sincerely Noreta BabertonKok from Australia (9/10)
