The cottages were exactly as we saw in the photographs. Jessica was so friendly and helpful when we booked in. It was amazing to stay in such a beautiful, natural area. A very special experience.

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.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I must compliment Jing on your property.
We were absolutely delighted with the Blue and White House. All breakfast provisions were generously supplied, just a short stroll from the main part of Olinda Set in lovely tranquil gardens surrounded by rainforest.
It was perfect for our visit for a family wedding, and I’ll definitely be recommending 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'.
We really enjoyed our girls weekend away.
The house is very spacious and it was a bonus to find 5 bedrooms, instead of 4 advertised.
The cottage has a very nice feel with the real fireplace adding extra coziness.
It was great to relax in the spa in the chilly autumn evening
The views in the woods were amazing.
Very quiet and private place
And the breakfast in the Ranges cafe is a must, very delicious + nice coffee
Thank you Alan for your hospitality
The bed was SUPER comfy and the bedding was warm - even in the middle of winter. The pot belly stove was a real highlight and once we got it going the room stayed lovely & warm. Earthstone & Lillian were lovely and welcoming. Felt like we were in the middle of the forest but only a couple of minutes from Sassafras & Olinda. The 2-night stay was a perfect way to take full advantage of the fire/wine/book afternoon! Would definitely go back.
Excellent location only 150m walk from the Mt Dandenong Hotel and Kellys Bistro and other shops. Well stocked breakfast items and true double spa bath. Plenty of heating options for cold nights. Small balcony with table and chairs providing views over the city lights. Nice rustic garden setting with some little quirky features. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Off street parking provided.
Was pleasantly surprised that the cottage was situated amongst the rainforest with a little creek at the back of the property. Also the cottage's proximity to Olinda was an incredible 4 min walk away from town. The accommodation was superb and made for a very relaxing weekend. The heating was left on for us which was a lovely touch.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, as it's immersed in a beautiful natural environment. It was wonderful to have peace, ( absolute) and listen to the wildlife around us
Loved the fresh bakery bread delivered to our door. Such a thoughtful surprise.
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.
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.
Location excellent in heart of Olinda.. walked to seasons at cloud hill for breakfast.. a must do …20min walk.amenities were good …equipment such as microwave and washer/ dryer excellent.
The house is really lovely. I came with my daughter and family friends for a weekend. Clean, close to main areas of olinda, tucked away, greeted by wildlife... it was magic
Wonderful cosy space with an incredible view of lush green gardens wherever you looked. Felt very private and the couch and bed were both really comfortable.
