The Space: Cradled by a whispering forest, our home isn't just a stay; it's a journey into nature's heart, where modern comforts meet historic charm. Winning accolades for its blend of beauty and eco-friendly ethos, this dream haven for nature aficionados perfectly balances the old and the new.
Imagine a house that sleeps ten, not just in beds, but in stories and dreams. The master suite is more than a room; it's a sanctuary offering forest views through a gigantic window right from your bed – a living picture frame to the outside world. Other bedrooms are cozy realms – two with queen beds and one with a double bunk bed, a fortress of fun for kids. The sofa in the lounge also converts to a very comfortable queen bed.
Now, step into our living room, a modern marvel with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Here, you can immerse yourself in the beauty of the forest while enjoying a warm chat or a good book. It's a room where nature's beauty is your constant companion.
Just a 1 min away from Sassafras and 6 min from Olinda, our home sits in the heart of Mount Dandenong, a perfect blend of accessibility and seclusion.
And for those special moments, our outdoor dining area is a symphony of luxury and nature. Adorned with white tablecloths and able to accommodate ten guests, it's an ideal spot for birthday celebrations or weekend feasts. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with oven, dishwasher, and microwave, enables you to create memorable meals, blending gourmet indulgence with the natural splendor of the outdoors.
Our living room is a tech-savvy forest den, boasting a 50-inch smart TV (hello, Netflix and Disney+ binges!), all perched on Roku's digital wings. Our TV is not equipped with an aerial, but you're welcome to sign in to your own accounts to all streaming services. You can also watch channels via the browser or by projecting from your phone. The house is climate-controlled, ensuring your comfort is as constant as the ever-watchful trees outside.
Oh, and did we mention our feathered neighbors? A trio of kookaburras, the jesters of the bird world, are regulars here. They’ll perch nearby, serenading you with their wild melodies. Watch, but remember – these are nature's performers, not pets.
Your enchanting retreat is ready. Minimum stay? Two nights of wonder. Arrival is at 4 pm; departure at 10 am. But be warned – leaving might just be the hardest part. Ready for your storybook adventure?

Embark on a journey through the Sassafras Creek walking trail, where the chorus of native birds accompanies you, or challenge yourself with a trek to the summit of Mount Dandenong, offering breathtaking panoramic views. These trails provide the perfect backdrop for both leisurely walks and exhilarating hikes.
Sassafras also invites culinary explorers to indulge in its array of charming cafes and gourmet eateries. Each venue offers a unique taste of local produce, coupled with cozy, inviting interiors that reflect the village's rustic charm.

We had a full house and a great time staying here. Location was great and easy to find. The house was clean and spacious. The kids really enjoyed eating on the deck with the kookaburras watching.
