Reviews

  • Nabz from Australia (9/10)

    Great accommodation. Peter is a great host and communicates in great length and swiftly. Breakfast hamper was fantastic for our needs. It is a pretty barn house with main central area comprises of big kitchen, living, dining and TV area and with One queen bed in one of the corner. The upstairs has master bedroom with Bath tub. Separate bathroom with toilet and shower. Kitchen has everything one can think of like dishwasher , fridge and crockery. Peter arranged an extra mattress which was very handy. He also arranged firewood, lighters etc but we did get a chance to use it. Backyard is of reasonable size and plenty of seating available with firepit.

    It's on the dandenong tourist road at the top of the north end of Dandenong ranges. Close to all the attractions on offer.

    Highly recommended.

    The property was really exceptional. It was easy to find, best part is right behind Hanhndorfs chicane which is a bonus.

    The house itself is wonderfully huge! The photos doesn’t do it justice, really was an amazing stay. Olinda and Sassafras were only a few minutes away. Peter was super helpful and very responsive. The breakfast basket was brilliant as we didn’t need to go out and eat out for breakky. Will definitely recommend!!
