I loved the facilities offered, especially the Spa from the Fernwood Cottage. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed for our one-night stay. Also, they provide you with a complete breakfast and snacks. Finally, the bed was very comfy and clean.

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.

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'.
I loved the quaintness of the cottage. Brett has done an outstanding job of renovating and creating a beautiful atmosphere of an olden era. We absolutely loved it. The location of Como Cottages was amazing, adding to ease of access to our wonderful four day weekend; just a very short walk to so many food options and to the many Olinda shopping experiences. Would love to come back in winter and experience the open fire in our cottage. Thank you Brett.
Olinda is a wonderful area and A Loft In The Mill suited perfectly. The loft suite was lovely for my husband, our adult daughter, and me. The heater was on to welcome us on a chilly late arrival our first night. The provisions for simple breakfasts were just right for our two mornings there. On our checkout day we also indulged in a massage at Nourish Spa on site, which was so nice.
The cottage was very well equipped with everything for a memorable stay. The on site help from Chris was friendly and helpful. He recommended a walk for our last morning of departure that was a perfect way to finish our stay in Olinda. The cottages are close to the botanical gardens so birds fly into the cottage gardens and there is a nice pond area to sit around.
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.
The cottage was self contained all cooking facilities were available to use.
Comfortable king size bed ,large bathroom with spa very good hamper for breakfast. Cosy fireplace with a glass of port.
Friendly and helpful staff .

Gorgeous, spacious and well catered cottage-style accomodation. Betty is a wonderful host and we really felt taken care of on our weekend away. Snacks and breakfast items were very generous, and the grounds are stunning!

The Olinda area is beautiful. The cottage is filled with high quality furniture and appliances and is very comfortable to live in. It felt like home. The welcome pack was appreciated after along journey.
Really nice 2 bedroom apartment in the centre of Olinda. Very clean.ans comfortable. Great beds. Spacious for families. Cafes and restaurants next door. Staff were lovely to deal with. Easy parking.
Full breakfast and a kitchenette was perfect. Loved the 4 poster bed. Location was fantastic. Across the road from 'Pig and Whistle' and very close walk to the main Olinda shops.
A beautiful part of the Dandenong Ranges. I could walk to the Rhododendron Gardens and there were plenty of eateries just a few minutes walk from the cottage.
