The space
Your senses will be touched from the moment you enter through the gate.

We're located in the midst of the main tourist area of the Dandenong Ranges a 55 min. drive from the CBD. It's only a 2 min. drive away from the charming Sassafras and Olinda Villages. The national parks and other well-known tourist attractions are also close by.

We are located on a 3.25-acre property surrounded by a very picturesque 90-year-old garden, which can be explored via a 250m walking track. A beautiful creek flows through the forest, a small walk away from the house.

Please note that we welcome children, however, the garden has tall trees, and steep and slippery rocks as it is within the Dandenong Ranges. Parents are advised to keep watch of their little ones.

Please note that this suite is part of an entire property where multiple suites are available for rent. However, each suite has its own entrance, kitchen/kitchenette, and bathroom.

As our property is located in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges National Park, we appreciate that you will understand the garden and landscaping around the suite is a work in progress. We maintain and care for our gardens ourselves because we love gardening; However, the rich nature of this area makes these activities long and constant, especially when battling the dreaded weeds.
