We loved the shops in Olinda and Sassafras just down the road. Easy walking, sitting in the sun at Dudley’s having a wine was relaxing.The trees and the beautiful Dandenong botanical gardens were amazing. It is like a little haven just out of Melbourne, all the people working in shops are so friendly it is just such an awesome little town.
Because it is so incredible it is getting really busy on weekends.

The townships of Sassafras and Olinda offer many quirky and artistic shopping and dining experiences. Alternatively you can have a typical aussie bush experience. The many massive gardens in the area are a must. The Alfred Nicholas Gardens are great any time and the Botanic gardens rhododendrens are sensational in season. The area along the Tourist road and out to Kallista is beautiful.
I highly recommend a visit to this area.

The place was picked by the photos and they were out if date . The spa wasn't the same as the picture. And my wife is a invalid so the spa was very difficult to use for her as the height was very dangerous. It clearly isn't the photo which was advertised. Also there was no area for standing outside if it rained no cover at all. Also very noisy being down stairs can hear constant noises. The breakfast was good and the place is warm. It's clean but it's less then the pictures are discibing .

At first they seemed nice, but when we walked into the back in a dark (what seemed to be a garage or something, messy paper work everywhere) we just brushed it off and we regret not looking at the place before paying the remaining money.
When she showed us around she pointed out all the faulty appliances that we shouldn't be using, she asked my husband if he was a handyman and how she gets some of her guest to help her 'fix' the place up. Even if my husband is a handyman we are on our anniversary getaway, we came there to relax not work.
The handle of the sliding door (which is basically your main entrance) is broken and anyone can break in literally with a ruler, no security at all.
When we saw the bathroom she told us that she took 3 light bulbs out and only left us with 1, when we asked why she replied "because guest leave the lights on when they go out".
It was so dusty and dirty, when we rocked up the towels were on the oil heater cause they weren't dried and ready for us, the towel rack broke while she was showing us around. The bed sheets didn't look clean nor did they smell clean, we saw some bed bugs on the bed and this put us off straight away.
We booked the Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath, there was no balcony or mountain view for us. I believe that as guest we deserve to have a clean, comfortable and secure environment to stay in especially when we are paying $320 a night.
We didn't end up staying at any of the 2 nights that we booked, We were so disappointed and outraged so we just went back home.
We did call and try to compromise to get half our money back but they didn't return any of our calls or messages
Absolutely the worst way to end our anniversary getaway!!!!

Couldn't visit gardens or national parks - most closed due to damage from wild weather - however, normally these are lovely to visit.
The villages along the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road can get quite crowded on weekends, so if you can visit during the week, it will be more peaceful.
there are plenty of food options around, including some good 'country pubs'.
The Gallery is in a beautiful location in the Dandenong ranges. In spring there are abundant flowers on view from every window. The home has many windows for you to enjoy the wonderful birdlife. Inside, the facility has many comfortable seating areas, and a very comfortable bed. There are excellent artworks in display and books about the region. Full breakfast options are provided including fresh bread delivered in the morning. The spa bath is a lovely option too.
This accommodation is something really special and our favourite on a 3-week southern Australia round trip. Caretakers might be the smallest of the cottages, but I think its the best as it is very secluded. Wonderful for a romantic get away! Having a wine on the patio at night and in the morning you feel like waking up in an enchanted forest. The hosts had prepared everything very well for our stay. Upper town is within walking distance.
Cambridge cottages was perfect down to every tiny detail. The snuggly blankets and fire great for the cooler days, the air conditioning and light filled space for the warmer.
The breakfast basket was far more than expected and made for leisurely mornings.
Check in was simple, communication was speedy and personalised advice provided when requested.
Everything was just perfect, from everything you could think of for breakfast to the robes and slippers in the wardrobe, we could not have asked for more. It was within walking distance to an Irish pub (Kelly's)and the shops in Olinda.
We enjoyed our stay immensely. We will definitely be back and maybe try one of the other rooms next time.
The house is located so close to the Olinda shops. It was immaculately presented and the owners had left food, breakfast supplies and gave us an early check in and a later checkout. We loved the vibe of the house and had a great time, lying in the backyard to dancing to old records on the gramophone. We can’t rate it highly enough. Thank you
Communication was super easy and wonderful and they accommodated well as we were arriving late at night after our wedding ❤️ The host left a beautiful breakfast basket and sparkling for us to enjoy. The cottage was full of amenities and beautifully set up, and the indoor jacuzzi was phenomenal. We will definitely be back for another stay
The studio is compact and very well appointed - all you need is there! Very comfortable and as near as you can get to the centre of Olinda. Near great walks and the botanical gardens. Jasna, the host, was available when needed and very caring. Just what we needed, so we extended our stay.
Love the bed, very comfy, and the spa is second to none. Great location, walking distance to some cafes, restaurants and grocery stores. A serene and tranquil area to relax with friends or family if you stressed out with your work or life.
Staff is very nice. Bed is absolutely comfy. Love the themed room, it is quaint and felt the old fashioned vibe. It is perfectly located right across the places we wish to visit in Olinda. The tub is the highlight of our stay.
Great quiet 2 bedroom cottage with large full-equipped kitchen. Underfloor heating was a boon, as was the large amount of breakfast supplies. Very clean and comfortable. Walkable path through it's scrambled bush garden.
This is the second time my lady and I have stayed at the rocky creek B and B. It's our favourite place to visit. The fire the space the forest and the householders that welcomed us to the place. Very welcoming and homely.
Location was excellent. Setting was very nice. Cottage was charming, but with a stylish, modern twist. We made use of the cast iron fire place, which created a cosy atmosphere. Had our little dog with us. We loved it.
Cosy and warm cottage in the middle of all the attractions in the Dandenong. Bed is big and comfortable. Good shower and spa.
breakfast provisions were plentiful and good quality. host is friendly and helpful.
