About this property
Emerald Forest Retreat - sunset views and private garden
The Emerald Forest Retreat is your home away from home - spacious and well equipped with everything you need for a restful stay. Surrounded by nature and your own garden, full of year-round wonder.
The house itself features three unique bedrooms, several living areas, a beautiful kitchen, a dedicated office space, and a large bathroom with shower and spa bath.
The house is surrounded by an all seasons garden, with several sitting areas and your own veggie patch. You will have a lovely green view from every window in the house.
So whether you are hoping to visit the Emerald Lake Park, the Puffing Billy Railway, the Dandenong Ranges National Park, and any of the other countless gardens and wedding venues…or maybe you just want to get away to nature and do some forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), then retire for the day in front of the fire with a cuppa and a good book…your new home is perfectly located for your visit.
