    We enjoyed our stay here. The king size bed was great and the bathroom was newly renovated. Breakfast supplies were good and parking was easy. Olinda Country Cottages was a perfect midway stopover for our visit to the Dandenongs. Kathy and Wally...

We enjoy and love to share a wonderful part of the hills, our old sunny garden with the most unique old trees. Features are several 120 year old Sequoia trees in a gentle sloping garden. We live on the property, there are 2 stand alone private self contained spa cottages. We also have a fully self contained 2 bedroomed family apartment (private) which is a seperate wing adjoining the main house. This room is suitable for small families or close friends who wish to have lovely accommodation on a budget. Heating and wood fire plus reverse cycle air conditioning. It is also with seperate entry facilities etc. 3 mins Walking distance to several restaurants, a small IGA supermarket and .cafes we are very conveniently located. A free laundry service is also available on request,
Kathy and Wally love to host people from all around the world. We have been doing so for 26 years and still enjoy meeting you all. Kathy is an avid gardener and enjoys crafts, cooking and swimming to keep fit. Wally has a bent for cricket and especially stats, walking, chess, cards (500) and.historical aspects of our region.
Lots of relaxing, interesting and even energetic activities are very near. Rediscover the outdoors and how it can refresh .and energise you March your way up the steep, 1000 step-climb of the Kokoda Walk and experience a tiny sense of the exhaustion felt by the Australian soldiers following the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea in World War II. Observe the plaques depicting the lives of those who fought .and died on the trail during the Kokoda campaign in 1942. Healesville Sanctuary, in the heart of the Yarra Valley, is world-renowned as the best place to see Australian wildlife in their natural habitat. Puffing Billy is Australia's favourite steam train and is one of the finest preserved steam railways in the world. This century old steam train is still running on its original 25 kilometre mountain track from Belgrave to Gembrook, through the beautiful forests and fern gullies of the Dandenong Ranges. Belgrave, Olinda and Sassafras + Kallista feature quirky shops specialising in everything from tea to teddy bears, craft to candles, antiques, glassware and pottery and linens.
