The 1Bdr studio was beautiful, exceeded our expectations. We loved all the little details around the studio. We stayed during winter and it got quite cold, but between the fire, heater and heated bathroom floors, you wont need to worry!!!

A beautiful escape in the forest with attention to detail in every room, felt like a storybook

The forest location has many small towns with amazing restaurants and cafes nearby. It was less than an hour's drive from Richmond. The owner was clear to point out discrepancies between the booking.com text and what was on offer (two properties, main property has features listed.

Lovely place to hide away for the weekend.

The location was very special. Private amongst the bush. Loved the bird song in the morning.

This property and it's location is incredible - the hosts provided detailed information that supported us throughout our stay without the need to follow up on anything. Their recommendations for walks and food throughout was not only useful, but were spot on (excellent food) and really encouraged us to explore the region. The details, from the artwork to the cushions and throw rugs, make this accommodation stand out - it was warm, cosy, safe, and friendly. Loved our stay! Thank you!

A stylish, peaceful and comfortable stay in a great location.

This place was beautifully designed, thoughtfully styled and comfortable. The heated bathroom floors and cosy fireplace made it feel extra welcoming and the location was great - close to everything we needed and just minutes from Sherbrooke Falls walk. We stayed in the writers studio and would stay again.

Wonderful winter weekend in The Writers Studio and would highly recommend for all couples needing a relaxing reset.

Beautiful cottage surrounded by magnificent trees. Stunning decor and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was lovely for a winter weekend. Plenty of kindling and wood for the open fire which added to the ambience.

So good we want to go back.

Beautiful location. Stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage with my daughter. Spotlessly clean. Had a fully equipped kitchen. Comfy lounge. Lovely and warm. Decor was perfect, so much thought went into it. Happily recommend it to anyone.

Great surrounds and comfortable cottage

The location of Dingleigh made our ability to enjoy the Dandenongs easy and straight forward with so many walks, gardens and eateries within an easy radius. The cottage was exceptionally clean and the bed very comfortable. Instructions for the locale and things to do were well described.

Really enjoyed the studio, location and comfort. If in Victoria we will come again.

Great location amongst beautiful old trees and ferns. Whisper quiet. Quaintness of the writers studio and matching old worldly furnishings and decor was second to none.

The perfect respite in Mt Dandenongs

Pete, the host, was gracious and kind, offering us a free upgrade to his gorgeous cottage. Everything was immaculate, and the decor genuinely speaks to the history of the property. Loved the air of authenticity and thoughtful touches in the house, as well as Pete's humour and thoughtfulness. It was so lovely to "come home" to a beautiful cottage that is so welcoming and warm after a day of activities. A real gem nestled in the beauty of Mt Dandenongs. Thank you sincerely Pete!
