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'.
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.
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 :)
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.
Paula had organised an amazing breakfast. It was really fun and relaxing weekend to stay in and enjoy the cosiest bed. We had fun preparing breakfast in the morning. And the tub was just amazing. We really enjoyed the spa bath and wine.
Thank you so much for an amazing weekend getaway. Will definitely recommend this beautiful cottage for short stays.
Beautiful cottage nested inside the forest. Fire place and heat pump kept the place warm. Daily freshly baked bread was delivered every morning. Big spa tub, smart TV. The host Rhonda was very helpful and got us tickets to KaBloom Flower Festival. The cottage is close to Cloudehill Garden, RJ Hanmer Arboretum and Botanical Garden.
The ambience when we opened the door to the cottage was incredible. The personal touches by hosts Karen and Tamara added to the experience. A truly beautiful place and just what we needed. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a beautiful country escape, to relax and unwind in nature. We will definitely be back ❤️
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.
Kathy and Wally did everything possible to make my stay comfortable. They were very careful with my food requests and added some thoughtful additions too. The cottage is warm and welcoming and perfectly located for easy access to all the attractions of the Dandenongs.
Staff is very nice. Bed is absolutely comfy. Love the themed room, it is quaint and felt the old fashioned vibe. It is perfectly located right across the places we wish to visit in Olinda. The tub is the highlight of our stay.
Great quiet 2 bedroom cottage with large full-equipped kitchen. Underfloor heating was a boon, as was the large amount of breakfast supplies. Very clean and comfortable. Walkable path through it's scrambled bush garden.
The cottage was perfect. Lots of nice, personal touches and the cottage afforded a great deal of privacy. We walked into Olinda for dinner easily and it was a great starting point to explore the beautiful surroundings.
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.
Betty was warm and helpful, the place was spacious, luxurious and clean. Amazing views from the balcony and so much food and drink provided! Would definitely go back!
