The cutest little mountain retreat 3 The bed was soo comfy! Loved the heat lamp in the bathroom and the wine and cheese was a beautiful welcoming touch. The hot tub was a perfect temp and we got some firewood from the iga and had a great little fire :) I wish I was back there again!

Winter in the Dandenongs

Despite the chilly winter days - this was a lovely cottage that was warm and comfortable. The owner Deep was a great host. And a great contained garden for our dogs. Highly recommend.

Will stay again

Property Manager Deep was amazing sending through additional pics before our booking as we were traveling with a trailer plus our two fur babies. Phone call or txt away Deep was helpful and easy to reach. Clean and Comfortable stay at the cottage we took full advantage of the spa and fire pit. Location was convenient, great cafes, parks and clothes shops offering dog friendly atmosphere so lovely when travelling with dogs.

Small cottage/studio style room, very cute and cozy but a few things were missing/ needing maintenance for our stay so we ended up checking out early. The water in the spa is very brown, not sure if it’s meant to be but it made it a bit unappealing even if it’s still technically safe to be in. The coffee pod machine leaks water onto the bench when you leave some water in the tank and we were unable to find any fire starting materials or kindling etc. There are a few amenities missing that would have been appreciated for example thank you for the milk and cheese etc but there were no coffee pods or black tea available. There was also only one glass tumbler for drinking and no conditioner in the shower, only body wash and shampoo.The iron appears to have something burnt to it and it left marks on my partners shirt and bins on the roadside were extremely full when we arrived so struggled to fit anything in.We did appreciate the dog friendly stay, and told the owners the above who apologised and said they would let the cleaners know.
