The beautifully appointed bedroom features a classic queen-size iron-frame bed, adjoined by an indulgent two-person spa – the ultimate setting for a dreamy escape. In the living room, a replica Victorian open fireplace flickers warmly, casting a soft glow over your evenings. Just beyond, a charming dining room awaits, complete with a stunning stained glass window – a perfect backdrop for candlelit dinners or lingering over morning coffee. The cottage also offers the comforts of heating and cooling, a fully equipped kitchen for shared meals, and a separate bathroom with shower and toilet. Wander hand-in-hand through the extensive gardens, rich with the atmosphere of the original Moulton Park estate. Find a quiet corner to sit and soak in the beauty… or challenge each other to a friendly game on the half-size tennis court. Just beyond your doorstep, a picturesque walking track leads you to the heart of Sassafras village – where boutique shops and cosy cafés await. For the more adventurous, a walk into Sherbrooke Forest will sweep you into a world of towering trees and whispering leaves – a place to truly lose yourself… and each other. And yes, there is Wi-Fi if you need it – though we suspect you’ll be far too enchanted to care. (Please note that internet and phone reception can be patchy in the Dandenong Ranges – if you need reliable connection, we recommend bringing a backup modem.)

Very disappointed we couldn’t have the fireplace going in March when it was quite cool. Spa bath was lovely but old and taps were hard to turn. The gardens were beautiful but wasn’t aware the other cottage and house would be so close, so not as much privacy as I expected. Could do with a better clean as there were some dead flies and bugs in the sun room. Couch was a little uncomfortable. Overall a lovely stay on a peaceful property and a much needed rest. ##### Caroline C.
