About this property

Camellia Cottage - In the heart of picturesque Olinda (only 45 min from Melbourne CBD) is this little hideaway.

Camellia Cottage is ideally located - just a leisurely 3 minute walk to the heart of the Olinda Village. Leave your car behind and explore the Village on foot - discovering galleries, boutique shops, and cafes. Don't forget to check out Olinda Cellars too! You might like to enjoy your purchase either on the covered front deck, or if the sun is out, on the back deck, whilst spotting Kookaburras!

Adding to this great location, you will find the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens and the new playground a few hundred meters from the Cottage.

If you are a fan of the beautiful gardens in the Dandenong Ranges, Cloudehill, Pirianda Gardens and the R J Arboretum are a short drive away.

Wi Fi, large TV, ducted heating and split system air conditioning will complete your home away from home experience.

And there's Wifi for you of course if you must! (Do note that internet and phone reception in the Dandenong Ranges can be unstable and please understand we have no control over that. If you rely on wifi please bring a backup modem).

We were lucky to find this place at the our last minute decision. We took our little dog along. The place is just perfect for 4 of us. It was cleaned and fresh. The host is great too. Thank you.

Camellia Cottage Getaway

I really enjoyed staying at Camellia Cottage. It was a very lovely environment, and close to beautiful places such as the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden. The outdoor seating area was relaxing and we loved the fairy lights alongside the nature theme of the cottage. The complimentary hamper was thoughtful and greatly appreciated. Some things we’d like to note is that the green towels gave off lint when used and it was hard to wash off, and the pink umbrella wires became crossed when used. We had an amazing trip and recommend this place for people seeking a pleasant getaway!
