About this property

Garden Cottage - Luxury romantic hideaway and decadent private spa room

  • Just 45 minutes from Melbourne CBD, Garden Cottage is a luxurious romantic retreat set on a tranquil 10-acre estate—one of Mount Dandenong’s best-kept secrets. This charming hideaway offers everything you need for a dreamy escape: a romantic four-poster bed, crackling open fire, private spa room, and a full kitchen with a continental breakfast hamper included for your first morning.

    Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the cottage is nestled among towering mountain ash trees, ancient tree ferns, and vibrant seasonal blooms—camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and magnolias. In 2024, the gardens were beautifully refreshed, making your stay even more magical.

    Part of Fern Falls Cottages (alongside Fern Cottage), the property is just 1km from Olinda village and a short drive to SkyHigh Observatory and popular wedding venues—perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or a romantic weekend away.

    Unwind, reconnect, and let nature work its magic.

Cosie, tranquil

Bright, light filled house in the Dandenong Ranges. Well looked after, fantastic gardens full of life and colour and the sounds of nature. Comfortable and warm retreat just right for the two of us. Close to great restaurants.

Stunningly beautiful

We stayed at The Garden Cottage for our honeymoon. We could not have picked a better place! The grounds and perfectly landscaped gardens and forest are spectacular during the day and night. The hot tub with garden views is absolutely beautiful and everything in the cottage is thoughtfully designed and super comfy. Communication with Emelia was so easy and she was quick to respond.

We had such a wonderful stay! The property was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly relaxing. Waking up surrounded by nature was exactly what we needed, and the forest walk was absolutely stunning. It was peaceful, picturesque, and one of the highlights of our stay.Everything about the accommodation made it easy to unwind, and we left feeling completely refreshed. The only suggestion we have is that it would be lovely if guests had the option to request robes and slippers, as that would add an extra touch of comfort and luxury to an already fantastic experience.We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape.
