Melbourne Hotel Guide - Dandenongs hotels in Melbourne, Australia.

"My husband and I booked a weekend getaway after a few stressful months. The location was advertised as "secluded", "peaceful" and "private" which was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, upon arrival to our Olinda "Penthouse", we found the room unkept, bed slept in and dirty towels left in the bathroom. We contacted the host who eventually got back to us, advising housekeeping hadn't been to clean after the last guests left and they were not local to come and amend the issue themselves. So they offered an "upgrade" to their Enchanted Tower. We viewed the room, and at least found the bed to be made and fresh towels available, so we accepted the change in room. Unfortunately, they neglected to mention the tower was shared space with a room below which was occupied by others. The walls are thin, and while I don't believe the other occupants were intentionally being loud, we unfortunately could hear ever foot step, every door open and close, their tv, and mumbles of their conversation all day and into the night. We felt as "secluded" as you would staying in cheap motel room, which considering the price of this accommodation, is not what we were expecting. While Olinda is such a lovely place and the surrounding forest was beautiful to see, unfortunately this was not the "peaceful" and "private" getaway we so desperately needed. The host however was lovely, did check in with us and seemed genuinely apologetic about the circumstances. "

"Lovely place to stay in the heart of Olinda "

"Cute compact little cottage with everything we needed for our 1 night stay. Nice & warm on arrival, & tucked away @ the back of the hosts home, with a lovely garden. Close to cafes, shops & restaurants. You can leave your car in the driveway & walk to them.We enjoyed our stay. "

"A magical Cottage in a great spot. All the amenities you could ask for and more. We love this place so much we extended our stay for a few more weeks! Highly recommended for a Dandenong Ranges adventure. "

"Location was amazing"

"Staff very friendly. Beautiful surrounds. Good parking. We stayed in the smaller of the cottages, in need of basic maintenance with some halogen lights dimming and brightening constantly, taps in the bathroom dripping. The bed is quite small in length so was uncomfortable for my husband, he is 5'11. I will opt for the larger accommodation next time "

"Wonderful cottage for two, and Pia was very helpful and communicative. Highly recommended. "

"Amenities could be improved, the tv as well. But it was a clean property. "

"Beautiful home filled with everything youll need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub and infrared sauna were an added bonuses! Thank you to host for maintaining such a lovely property."
