What a lovely cottage! The cottage exceeded our expectations. The cottage has a welcoming warm feeling and is perfectly located within a short stroll to nearby shops, cafes and eateries. The breakfast provided was delicious and the bathrobes provided were also a nice touch. The hosts Kathy & Wally are lovely and very accommodating. Highly recommend this cottage.

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 had such a lovely stay at Woolrich gardens retreat. Growing up spending holidays at my grandparents place in the Dandenongs, this brought back so many precious and beautiful memories. I loved the super comfy beds, the gorgeous retro decor, the views, the beautiful gardens, and the wonderful location being attached to Cloudehill gardens. The kitchen had all the mod cons and was fit out beautifully. It was great to have ducted heating throughout. The large flat screen TV was a bonus.
I loved the quaintness of the cottage. Brett has done an outstanding job of renovating and creating a beautiful atmosphere of an olden era. We absolutely loved it. The location of Como Cottages was amazing, adding to ease of access to our wonderful four day weekend; just a very short walk to so many food options and to the many Olinda shopping experiences. Would love to come back in winter and experience the open fire in our cottage. Thank you Brett.
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 :)
I had an incredible stay at the cottage! The station welcomed me warmly and gave me a thorough tour of the facilities. The check-in process was smooth, and the cottage itself was beautifully designed and spotless. The spa was a personal favorite, offering a relaxing experience. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to visit again!
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.
Beds were so comfortable.
Tv in loungeroom was a great size.
Wifi was good.
Spa was so fun with a view of the forest.
A cute complimentary of Port given.
Barbecue there.
5 minute walk to botanical gardens.
Close to town.
Very cute private cottages there.
Great place with Great memories we have.
Will be back very soon. 😃
We had an amazing couples get away at Kathy's beautiful cottages. We felt an instant warm homely feeling as soon as we arrived and we were more than happy with our accommodation.
Kathy was a fantastic host and was extremely helpful with anything we may want or need.
We cannot wait to return to visit again :)
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.
the breakfast inclusions are exceptional. There is nothing more needed, everything is provided, more like a brunch than breakfast! More than enough in every way, even down to the box of chocolates upon arrival. Wonderful service!
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.
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.
Beautiful location , close to restaurants etc in Olinda. Nice room setup in a historical building. Generous breakfast ingredients to make breakfast for two people. Hosts were polite and helpful.
Beautiful cottage, so roomy and comfortable. We were so surprised by the array of breakfast items and other goodies. The spa bath was wonderful. A perfect and peaceful spot for a stay in Olinda.
