The cottage was really great, breakfast was lovely with the personal touches of all the little extras. We will definitely return and have already recommmended to lots of friends. We are pleased our friends decided to get married up in the Dandenongs to give us an amazing experience out of the city.

Breakfast was beautiful waking up to fresh bread, berries in the fridge and some fresh orange juice was perfect. House was lovely and warm. Everything was beyond my expectation. Thank you very much!

Jessica Australia

Spacious, lovely. surroundings and close to our family.

Stribling Australia

Beautiful location. The cottage was adorable. Sitting on the verandah watching the birds was such a sweet experience.

Caitlyn Australia

Stayed in Dovecote cottage, petite and extremely clean, generous provisions by host. Immaculate gardens, beautiful birds and chooks too. We were in their gardens till evening enjoying their well maintained gardens. The cottage is cozy and comfortable. Views from the windows are so peaceful. The room upstairs is so cozy and an awesome bathroom with all the essentials you need. Such attention to detail. Loved our stay and will surely be back again. A++ to the hosts Chris & Gayle.

Fatima Australia

The continental breakfast provisions were as expected. Everything in the small cottage was immaculate and small decorating touches made it a very pleasant place to stay for one night. the view was beautiful from all windows, and we loved the chandelier in the chookhouse. Thoroughly recommend Dovecote Cottage for a couple who are looking for a short stay.

Colin Australia

The cottages maximise the surrounds with large windows and beautifully landscaped gardens. The bird feeders ensured a constant show of bird life outside our window. The room was well-equipped - they had really thought of everything.

Kimberly Australia

Great spot for a weekend getaway. So close to Melbourne and a great cottage to spend some peaceful time. The facilities were great, the hosts were nice and the gardens were simply beautiful. Birds come by and eat the bird seed that your put out. The sounds of nature surround you. It really helps refresh the mind and feel recharged. Some amazing places to visit and eat close by.

Sean Australia

A wide range of food fresh food to choose from in the breakfast that was included. The place was clean and comfortable with beautiful views. Chris was super friendly and helpful too!

Eboni Australia

Very green setting. Clean place with all you need to make great breakfast. Huge room and very comfy. All was made very easy by kind hosts. Occasional rooster added to rural feeling.
