The woodfire heater was a great asset, spent a lot of time by the fire with kids in the evening after a days walk on the local tracks.

“Wonderful stay”
We booked a 3 night stay for our parents and they absolutely loved it. They thought the location was wonderful, with many shops walking distance, breakfast was great, it was very quiet and peaceful and the location is beautiful. The cottage itself was very roomy, the bath was renovated, it was very pleasant to sit on the veranda.

“Olinda, the right choice.”
Kathy and Wally are exceptional hosts and are so welcoming and helpful. I have never before experienced anyone asking what our preferences were for bread and milk so that the right things were there for our breakfasts.The cottage was well provisioned and had everything we needed and more. The weather wasn't all that warm for November but the cottage was warm and cosy and comfortable. The cottage was private and the gardens lovely. I can't say enough in praise. It is within easy walking distance to the local shops. Wonderful place to stay and heartily recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cosy cabin. We were made to feel very welcome and the breakfasts provided were delicious. It was a perfect location to explore the Dandenong Ranges. We would certainly recommend this.
