Holiday rentals near Hochkins Ridge Nature Conservation Reserve

My bestie and I were very blessed to have stayed here for 4 nights as a mini escape from our high-stress jobs. Absolutely perfect cottage, easy to find in Olinda and central to everything. The cottage is only a short drive from Sassafras, Belgrave, etc. so we were able to go out each day and have mini day trips and then return in the evening.The cottage itself was beautiful, we loved the fireplace and the spa and the views out the windows; we had everything we needed. The balcony was a highlight for me with kookaburras. Pia Tim also made us a beautiful hamper for our stay. Communication was excellent instructions about staying were very clear and easy to understand and follow.Nothing to fault no complaints. We would love to return I'll be recommending this place to all of my friends for future getaways.Thank you Pia Tim for having us! Kind regards from LJ & Jayden x

Gorgeous accommodation which was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed the spa, walks and nearby towns with lovely little shops.

We all had a lovely time. The property really is amazing. All was good apart from we were surprised there wasn't a BBQ (we didn't check before we took our meat up there with us!) and the bedrooms upstairs were very hot (it was 38' while we were there) and the beds in the bunkbed room were not comfortable - but all the others were great. Coffee machine wasn't working and we couldn't get the steam oven to work either, but the kitchen was great apart from that. We had a really good time - the property exceeded expectations

Welk appointed unit

The place was lovely and it felt very much like home! Christine and her husband had left us some yummy snacks and we had everything we needed to make breakfast and coffee in the mornings! Would definitely recommend for a nice little getaway! X

Very friendly greeting from the owner of this very neat unit in a great location.

Kalorama was a great stay for our group of friends looking for an Easter retreat, the weather was bucketing down the entire time and the weatherproofing and insulation was marvelous and kept us so cozy and warm, with beautiful views over the misty Dandenong forests and morning sat on the deck with some very friendly kookaburras. Trips into Olinda and Sassafras for antiqueing and shopping required some careful navigating of windy roads but certainly doable for confident drivers. The bedrooms were lovely, clean and warm and the living area made a nice space to relax and catch up
