Acerca de este alojamiento
'Pickett's Cottage' - Circa 1868 - oldest in Knox, close to Dandenong Ranges.
Enduring for 154 years “Pickett’s Cottage” is the last sole surviving home from a bygone era, which gives it the honour of being the oldest residential house in the city of Knox. Built in 1868, this unique Pioneer’s Settlers Cottage has been lovingly restored, respectfully preserving its unique features including open fireplace and wood stove. Located in close proximity to the Dandenong Ranges, the Cottage provides a truly unique experience. PET FRIENDLY
Esta casa de campo se encuentra en Fern Tree Gully, un barrio de Melbourne. Además de apreciar la belleza natural de la región en Lakewood Nature Reserve y Parque nacional Dandenong Ranges, también puedes visitar lugares fundamentales para los aficionados a la cultura, como Locomotora de vapor Puffing Billy y Teatro Drum. ¿Te apetece disfrutar de un evento especial? Puedes consultar el calendario de State Basketball Centre o Club de baloncesto Nunawading Basketball Centre. Puedes practicar tu swing en un campo de golf cercano; si lo prefieres, otra opción es disfrutar de otras actividades al aire libre, como el ciclismo, en los alrededores.

We respectfully disagree with this review. The property has been hosting guests for over three years with consistently positive feedback regarding cleanliness, comfort, and the outdoor space. Guests consistently report how much they enjoy their stay in this historic property.
Unfortunately, this review was left following a dispute relating to the condition in which the property was left resulting additional cleaning and replacement costs for goods taken from the property. This guest chose not to cover these costs which was disappointing.
Pest control is professionally maintained, and we have no ongoing issues with cockroaches or mice. The yard is regularly maintained, and the location is clearly described in the listing.
We encourage future guests to review our wider feedback history, which accurately reflects the experience we work hard to provide.

Returnees
Stayed here for the 2nd time on a trip to see family in Ferntree Gully. Nice to see a few new additions to the decor in particular the old school gaming console which was a big hit with our 9 year old.
Greg is a responsive host.
Thanks Greg

Gateway to Dandenongs
For a visit to the Dandenongs this little 1868 two bedroom cottage was perfectly located. The cottage is well set up for a small family plus dog, although the safe backyard needs grass for animal and child comfort. The bathroom and modest kitchen are modern. It was an enjoyable stay; however the Dandenong region is 50 year ago villages with 2024 traffic and people - not really as relaxing as I’d hoped.

Lovely old cottage
We enjoyed our stay in Picketts cottage, which is very nicely fitted out inside with a new modern bathroom and kitchen. The lounge room is typical of a small cottage but still plenty of room for 4 people, and the two bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Out the back is a wooden patio with a small table and chairs where we enjoyed having our breakfast on sunny mornings and a drink in the evening. The back yard is well fenced, safe and perfect for dogs or children.
Greg and Jodie were great hosts who communicated well and were always very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Cute cottage experience
Overall it was a good experience, and wonderful that it was pet-friendly. Loved having the fire going! The dog could get under the house (beneath the deck) so that was challenging to get him to come out, and not to eat the seeds/nuts in the garden. One area of improvement could be to block it off.
It would also be good if some spare linen and/or washing detergent could be supplied as there was only one towel per person.

Lovely Cottage
Clean & comfortable. Had everything I needed for my stay. Pet friendly allowed inside, secure back yard. Demi had a lovely time finding all the lost balls outside.
Only problem for me from a small seaside town, traffic noise & closeness of driveway to roundabout, but if you are right in the middle of suburbia you have to expect that.
Close to shops Dandenong Ranges all those lovely little country towns Belgrave, Emerald, Olinda etc. without being in the steep hilly areas.

Charming cottage - accessible and pet friendly
Four week stay, this property had everything we needed.
1. Secure back yard for our corgi to play and toilet.
2. Accessible for mobility scooter which could park & charge in second bedroom, plus easy access shower.
3. Good size dining table in the kitchen doubled as a great study desk.
4. Easy access to Mountain Gate and Boronia shops.
5. Super comfy bed and warm doona, combined with the open fire and reverse cycle heating kept us warm despite the freezing weather challenging the cottage defences.

Nice little house
Well equipped with everything you will need but you have to buy all consumables and I had to get some cleaning products. Any basics that are there, are what have been left by previous guests.
Bed is super comfortable with great linen but the couch/sofa is super uncomfortable.
House is on a busy intersection so be prepared for road noise.
Secure back garden area which was good for my dog but both back and front need work/tidying up. Not appealing spaces outside and there is no railing around the deck (small kids would be a worry) and there are nails sticking up from some of the wooden boards.
Host was responsive and friendly in communication but with some TLC in the garden and a more comfortable and practical sofa, this place would be worth the money asked.
