The house was a fantastic size and the kitchen and living areas were fab. The master bedroom had loads of storage space which was great. We loved the house but just a few little things would make it A . The other bedrooms had no storage which meant most had to live out of suitcases. There were only a couple of hangers in the master and for a wedding party that was tricky. Overall tho a great place to stay and highly recommend.

Mt. Dandenong Retreat
We stayed at this property over 2 days for our son's wedding In Kallista. The house was fantastic for a family celebration and with all the bedrooms, catered for our specific needs. We were able to use all the amenities including the theatre room and spa. Communication with the host was excellent and instructions easy to follow. Great atmosphere, location and surroundings. We really appreciated the complimentary champagne and flowers, a very thoughtful touch.Thankyou Richard, we would stay here again and recommend this property for any occasion.

Excellent property, perfect for our extended family
We all had a lovely time. The property really is amazing. All was good apart from we were surprised there wasn't a BBQ (we didn't check before we took our meat up there with us!) and the bedrooms upstairs were very hot (it was 38' while we were there) and the beds in the bunkbed room were not comfortable - but all the others were great. Coffee machine wasn't working and we couldn't get the steam oven to work either, but the kitchen was great apart from that. We had a really good time - the property exceeded expectations

We had an amazing time at the property! The movie theatre was phenomenal and we had a lovely time using the jacuzzi, the large kitchen and the living areas. The manager was very responsive when we had an issue with water, power and using the dryer. Highly recommend!
