Good to know
Accommodating up to six guests, the property includes two queen bedrooms in the main house and a separate guesthouse with a pull-out double sofa bed and kitchenette. The guesthouse provides additional space and privacy, making the property especially suited to families, groups of friends or couples holidaying together. Bright, airy interiors create an immediate sense of calm. At the same time, the generous living spaces provide plenty of room to unwind after exploring the villages, gardens, and forest trails of the Dandenong Ranges. Settle into the comfortable living area with a book, spend time with friends or admire the surrounding greenery. Every space has been thoughtfully arranged to create a welcoming retreat where guests can relax and enjoy an unhurried stay. The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep easy, with quality cookware, modern appliances, generous bench space, a dishwasher, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee machine. Share your creations around the elegant dining table or enjoy an alfresco meal surrounded by trees and fresh mountain air. The separate games room offers pool and table tennis, along with seating and tables, creating a wonderful space for friendly competitions, games and relaxed afternoons together. The spacious balcony is ideal for morning coffee, long lunches and peaceful evenings listening to the surrounding trees and local birdlife. An outdoor firepit provides a lovely place to gather on cooler evenings. Guests must bring their own firewood, use the firepit responsibly and observe all weather conditions, fire restrictions and local regulations.
