Effie
This Fairy-tale property is set in the Rainforests of the Dandenong Ranges (Bordering Olinda). The Tudor inspired home transports you to another time...with unique features including exposed timber trusses and beams, timber staircase and leadlight windows. The home incorporates a formal dining area with magnificent bay window, lounge with bar, Conara fireplace, upstairs opulent King Bedroom with spa en-suite, double peacock room & double bunk bed downstairs. No parties or pets.
I will be available on check in to show people around the property if desired. Or else use the unique key pad to show yourself in.
Neighbouring Olinda, Kallista is located in the Dandenong Ranges, is close to magnificent gardens, tea rooms and cafes and set in a tranquil rainforest. There are many steps leading from the Parking area to the house so please wear comfortable shoes and hold the hand rail. No disables access unfortunately.
