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.

I loved the facilities offered, especially the Spa from the Fernwood Cottage. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed for our one-night stay. Also, they provide you with a complete breakfast and snacks. Finally, the bed was very comfy and clean.

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.

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 immediate feeling when you step out of the car being at the location was amazing. The scents and sounds of the dandenong ranges being at your front door was great.
We even enjoyed the morning coffee on private deck with the sound of a lyre bird call nearby. The coziness of the room was amazing with the wood fire be side the bed. A very comfy floor rug beside the fire place made the stay very pleasant despite being 4-6 degrees outside. The double spa was amazing to relax in.
We would definitely visit the BnB again.
The location was perfect. walking distance to both Mt Dandenong and Olinda. Yes it’s on the main road but we were so relaxed we didn’t notice the traffic noise. The place was spotless and so warming. Breakfast was great and the upstairs bedroom and ensuite was super cute and comfy. The bed was firm but large and the ensuite was roomy, with a shower over the spa bath being practical in the space. Nice to sit outside on the balcony and enjoy a cuppa. We totally enjoyed the privacy and will be back.
All the little touches, the fire place already to ignite, the chocolates, the beautiful breakfast provisions, the robes, really friendly staff. Without me knowing, the owner was on holiday in Japan but she still had time to answer all my questions kindly. The glassed in spa on the deck was very relaxing, local knowledge of where to eat, walk etc were given and were spot on, the king size bed was like a cloud. and the garden was delightful.
Olinda is a wonderful area and A Loft In The Mill suited perfectly. The loft suite was lovely for my husband, our adult daughter, and me. The heater was on to welcome us on a chilly late arrival our first night. The provisions for simple breakfasts were just right for our two mornings there. On our checkout day we also indulged in a massage at Nourish Spa on site, which was so nice.
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 location was ideal on the outskirts of Olinda very close to the Botanic Gardens which were beautiful and well worth visiting. The shops and cafes were a short walk away. We enjoyed the varied birdlife in the garden. We appreciated the welcome pack provided. The cottage was a warm, cosy place to stay and we'd love to stay again next time we visit Melbourne
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.
I loved the facilities offered, especially the Spa from the Fernwood Cottage. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed for our one-night stay. Also, they provide you with a complete breakfast and snacks. Finally, the bed was very comfy and clean.
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.
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.
Full breakfast and a kitchenette was perfect. Loved the 4 poster bed. Location was fantastic. Across the road from 'Pig and Whistle' and very close walk to the main Olinda shops.
Breakfast adequate. Plenty of milk, tea, coffee, bottled water and fruit juice. Lovely cosy cottage beautifully decorated. Comfortable couches and great spa bath. Thank you
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!
