About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Pool, Games & fun - Family Retreat!
Location Highlights You’re perched at the gateway between the serene Dandenong Ranges and the charming village of Olinda—making this retreat both peaceful and perfectly located.
Just a 5-minute drive to the Puffing Billy Railway (Belgrave Station), where you and your guests can enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey through towering forests and fern gullies.
Olinda is a short 10-minute drive, offering boutique shops, lush gardens (including the famed Rhododendron Gardens), cafés, and weekend markets.
SkyHigh Mount Dandenong Lookout, with panoramic vistas over the Yarra Valley and Melbourne skyline, is only a 15-minute drive away—ideal for sunrise breakfasts or sunset drinks.
Countless walking trails, from peaceful forest walks to more invigorating hikes, are accessible within minutes.
Yet, despite the tranquil location, you’re only about 60 minutes from Melbourne CBD—ideal for combining countryside charm with occasional city experiences.
