Delightful

We were greeted warmly upon arrival by the owner who showed us to our accommodation and happily provided us with information about local restaurants, cafes and attractions in the area. Accommodation was immaculately clean and catered for all our needs and breakfast provisions were excellent. We had a beautifully relaxing stay in picturesque surroundings. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Weekend break in The Dandenongs

Much consideration has gone into the planning and presentation of this property. This was perfect for us, quiet, garden setting, easy access to top spots, slightly off the beaten track, but close enough to main roads. Had everything you would need, and some. We only stayed the one night, but wished we had time to stay longer
