About this property

Fern Cottage - Romantic spa cottage in Mount Dandenong

Tucked away in the enchanting forests of Mount Dandenong—just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD—Fern Falls Cottages offer the ultimate romantic retreat. A secret sanctuary surrounded by nature’s finest, Fern Cottage is designed exclusively for two lucky guests seeking a dreamy escape.

Step into your own storybook hideaway, complete with a plush four-poster queen bed, a crackling open fireplace, and a deep, indulgent spa bath—perfect for unwinding together. Wake to the sounds of birdsong and enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast hamper on your first morning, best savoured in the peaceful embrace of the surrounding forest.

The cottage is nestled among towering mountain ash trees, ancient ferns, and a kaleidoscope of seasonal blooms—camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and magnolias. The gardens, lovingly refreshed in 2024, are a magical wonderland that invite you to wander hand-in-hand, soaking in the beauty and serenity.

Fern Falls Cottages includes both Fern Cottage and Garden Cottage, superbly located just 1km from charming Olinda village, where you’ll find boutique shops, a bakery, bottle shop, supermarket, and delightful cafés and restaurants. SkyHigh Observatory is just a 10-minute drive away, and many of the region’s most beautiful wedding venues are close by—making Fern Cottage ideal for honeymoons, proposals, or simply celebrating love.

Let the forest embrace you. Let the romance begin.

What an amazing place! The cottage was perfect and had everything we could possibly need. The cleanliness was remarkable and everything was in great condition. The open fire was beautiful and the spa was perfect! The grounds were just stunning. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough! So romantic and refreshing.
