Location Highlights You’re perched at the gateway between the serene Dandenong Ranges and the charming village of Olinda—making this retreat both peaceful and perfectly located. Just a 5-minute drive to the Puffing Billy Railway (Belgrave Station), where you and your guests can enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey through towering forests and fern gullies. Olinda is a short 10-minute drive, offering boutique shops, lush gardens (including the famed Rhododendron Gardens), cafés, and weekend markets. SkyHigh Mount Dandenong Lookout, with panoramic vistas over the Yarra Valley and Melbourne skyline, is only a 15-minute drive away—ideal for sunrise breakfasts or sunset drinks. Countless walking trails, from peaceful forest walks to more invigorating hikes, are accessible within minutes. Yet, despite the tranquil location, you’re only about 60 minutes from Melbourne CBD—ideal for combining countryside charm with occasional city experiences. Added Touches & Guest Perks High‑speed Wi‑Fi throughout—great for streaming movies or staying connected (if work calls arise). Smart TV with access to streaming platforms. A modest entryway workstation for any remote work needs. A welcome basket stocked with local produce: freshly roasted coffee beans from a nearby roaster, artisan jams, sweet biscuits, and a map with recommended local walks, cafés, and experiences. Essential supplies: cooking basics (salt, pepper, oil), dishwashing items, and bathroom staples—everything you need for convenience and comfort. Optional mid‑stay refresh service is available upon request for extended stays. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Arcade/game room ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46960000/46958000/46957923/880bb268.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 🍸🍾FREE NIGHT Stay 3 nights and pay for two in September and October.
