Tucked away within the historic estate grounds, Keepers Cottage invites you to unwind in a dreamy king-size four-poster bed, with a beautifully appointed two-person spa just steps away — creating the perfect romantic retreat. In the cozy living room, a replica Victorian open fireplace sets a warm, enchanting atmosphere, complemented by a dining space, full kitchen, and all the comforts of heating, cooling, and a charming separate bathroom with a shower and toilet. Wander through the lush, expansive gardens or enjoy a playful game of tennis on the half-court — the grounds are yours to explore at leisure. Just a short stroll from the cottage, a peaceful walking track will lead you to the heart of Sassafras village, where quaint boutiques and inviting cafés await. If you're feeling adventurous, a longer wander will take you deep into the magical Sherbrooke Forest, where towering trees and winding trails are sure to steal your heart. Of course, there’s Wi-Fi available if you need to stay connected — though we do encourage you to embrace the slower pace here. (Please note: internet and mobile reception can be a little temperamental in the Dandenong Ranges, so if you rely heavily on Wi-Fi, we suggest bringing a backup modem.) PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to bring your pet please add him/her to the booking as there is a pet fee payable. If there is no wood and kindling provided at your property, it will be because of a Total Fire Ban day. The collecting and burning of twigs, leaves and branches from outside your property is strictly forbidden at anytime. Also please note, breakfast is mentioned as included, how it not longer is. Our apologies. Managed by Valley Ranges Getaways. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Hob - Microwave ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Microwave, stovetop, dishwasher, dining tables](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45250000/45244100/45244006/1e35c3e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Franklin Cottage - This country cottage offers fresh, Hamptons style decorations in luxuriously appointed cottage.

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### benny m. 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet country retreat The cottage is located in beautiful grounds and is very quiet. A track at the end of the street enables you to walk down to the village and enjoy the shops and cafes. The cottage is quite spacious although you need to be aware of some steps in between rooms as it’s easy to trip over them. Although it’s got a kitchen most people wouldn’t bother bringing supplies it would be useful to have some spreads eg peanut butter or jam if your making toast for breakfast. ##### benny m.
