"Well presented in a beautiful location. All the additional little items included made it feel extra special."

"Adorable cottages, authentic decor, beautiful grounds. Hosts are fabulous, friendly and attentive. Olinda is a beautiful town to spend the weekend and has everything you need within walking distance."

"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. "

"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. "

"Overall a really nice small unit. Main drawback is the shower drain is very slow, could not have a normal length shower for a normal amount of time without drain water backing up into tub. Lamp in living room was also non-functional which was a pity given it is set amongst tall trees and can be quite dark inside."

"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. "
