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.
Breakfast is included at this heritage-listed B&B, featuring a day spa and set among beautiful English gardens in the scenic Dandenong Ranges. Free WiFi is provided.

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 Olinda Cpuntry Cottage was a delightful place to stay in every way. Ka thy and Wally couldn't have been more hospitable, welcoming and friendly. The cottage itself was gorgeous and inviting and Kathy and Wally provided everything you could need, while the surrounding gardens were beautiful. You could not ask for a better location or find a nicer place to stay in the Dandenongs. I have aleady booked our next getaway in March. Thank you to Kathy and Wally for a wonderful place to stay.

This large studio is beautifully decorated, stylish, serene and set in a beautiful garden. It has everything you would need for a comfortable stay.
Hot bread was served every morning to go with a fridge full of breakfast foods.
A beautiful spa bath adds to the feeling of luxury.
We visited Healesville Sanctuary, Puffing Billy and a number of gardens and the accommodation was close to them all.
Kookaburra Cottage. Everything ...... from the staff to the location to the attention to detail. The Complimentary breakfast foods are more than welcome, the heater was SO warm on the 2 degree mornings, the bed was comfy, the decor is wonderful, great couches, the gardens are beautiful and well maintained, fully equipped kitchen, spa bath, and everything was super clean.
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.
Love the bed, very comfy, and the spa is second to none. Great location, walking distance to some cafes, restaurants and grocery stores. A serene and tranquil area to relax with friends or family if you stressed out with your work or life.
The cottage was self contained all cooking facilities were available to use.
Comfortable king size bed ,large bathroom with spa very good hamper for breakfast. Cosy fireplace with a glass of port.
Friendly and helpful staff .
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.
Mary Cards was the perfect base for our Dandenongs stay. The accommodation was very comfortable and breakfast provisions were generous. Everything we required was at our fingertips.
The house is really lovely. I came with my daughter and family friends for a weekend. Clean, close to main areas of olinda, tucked away, greeted by wildlife... it was magic
I liked that it was spacious but coszy.i liked that it was in the tree tops,and also enjoyed the view from all the windows.I loved the spa bath and the fireplace.
