Wedding weekend
Julie is an outstanding host and the accomodation is beautiful. My fiancé got ready at this location and then we stayed on our wedding night and I couldn’t be happier. Julie went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect and would definitely recommend for future couples!

Lovely spot in the hills
We love taking day trips to the Dandenong ranges, and it was wonderful to be able to spend an extended time in the hills. Julie’s B&B is lovely. The surrounding garden and feeling of connection to the outdoors when inside makes for a truly relaxing stay. Excellent spot to base ourselves to explore the surrounding towns.

Lovely retreat
Very clean, quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Having a private lookout over the back garden from the hammock was pure bliss and the native birds that came to visit the back verandah were gorgeous. It's also the perfect location to complete the 1000 steps hike each morning before breakfast for a proper mind/body/soul retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Culley

Host profile image
Hi there, I am Julie your host. I am so pleased to welcome you to my new project here in Australia, "1000 Reasons". I have just returned home to Australia after working in Europe for many years in the tourism sector, we owned and operated a small boutique hotel in Malta known as Julesy's BnB.

I really missed that business when I returned to Australia, so we set about to find another wonderful holiday project. So "1000 Reasons" was born. The story behind the name is simply because the property is at the top of the famous Dandenong Ranges walking trail known as "1000 Steps".

I fell in love with the area, and this beautiful property and welcome you to come and enjoy our little slice of heaven.

Why they chose this property

1000 Reasons is personal and private, bespoke in every way. Guests can checkin anytime after 3pm and we offer a late check-out at 11am for all guest bookings. The cottage is luxuriously furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Bedroom 2 can be made into 2 single beds or as 1 king bed. Bedroom 1 has a queen size bed as standard. Please let us know when you book what your preference is. 1000 Reasons B&B has its own private full kitchen, luxurious bathroom, large private deck and large picnic grounds for your exclusive enjoyment. Breakfast provisions are provided for your first morning with us which consists of fresh croissants, delicious sourdough, butter, milk, jams and spreads, tea and coffee. If you have any allergies or require vegan options then please let us know upon booking. In addition you can order breakfast hampers, romantic baskets, champaign for special occassions, freshly roasted coffee and much more. All special requests are welcome. We love creating magical experiences. Please download the detailed map that is shown within the pictures outlining the layout of the property. Parking onsite is provided for upto 4 cars with 1 secure lockup garage for your use. Wifi and Netflix is free. Phone signal in the hills can be a little hit and miss depending on what provider you use, so while you are here use "WIFI Calling" in your phone settings for best phone reception. Outdoors there is a BBQ, large picnic table, outdoor furniture and hammock for your enjoyment. We can also set up your own outdoor cinema experience. While we accept and encourage wedding parties, there are extra T&Cs and a security bond pertaining to these types of bookings. Please contact your host to discuss. Please note we do not allow any cerimonies to take place on the property. We do not allow extra persons (other than the person/s within the booking) on the property without prior consent. No transfer of any booking to an unknown party without prior consent.

What makes this property unique

Feeling energetic? The famous “1000 Steps” and the Dandenong Ranges National Park is just meters from our door, it is a challenging walk of about 7-8km depending on which track you choose. You can download detailed maps from the Parks Victoria website. Animals and birds you can expect to see are Lyrebirds, Wallabies, possums, tawny frogmouth owls, rosella's, silver crested cockatoos, black cockatoos, kookaburras, land crayfish, echindnas, wombats and perhaps deer while exploring. At nighttime many possums roam the area. Within the area there are many gardens to explore within a short drive. My favourites are Sherbrook Falls, George Tindall Gardens, Alfred Nicholls Gardens, William Ricketts Sanctuary, Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens, Cloudhill Gardens and Nursery, Blue Lotus Water Gardens, Warrantina Lavender Farm and in around 35 minutes you can be in the Yarra Valley wine region.

There are many quality restaurants, cafes and takaway options within a very short drive. Please ask us to send you a detailed PDF to your email with our recommendations.
