Host Review Score
Linden Gardens Rainforest Retreat is one of the most luxurious Bed & Breakfasts in the Dandenong Ranges, one of the few to offer a fully cooked a la carte breakfast for 2 delivered room service to your retreat each morning. We think of every small detail, from the fluffy bathrobes and take-home slippers through to the deep soaking spas, big screen TV's with Foxtel (including sports channels), Netflix movies, super comfy king-size beds through to your own personal coffee machine and selection of teas and hot chocolate. You won't want to leave your retreat!
Jodie and Andrew are the property owners and love the tranquility of the Dandenong Ranges and Linden Gardens, surrounded by beautiful towering trees and ferns and colourful parrots, and the splashes of vibrant colour from the established gardens on the property. Our philosophy is to provide our guests with the most luxurious, comfortable stay possible so that they are reluctant to leave and will definitely be back!
There are many things to do in the Dandenong Ranges, from Puffing Billy through to fantastic nature walks, the Rhododendron Gardens and amazing restaurants and cafes. People who come here are looking to take a break from everyday life, relax and spend time with each other and feel the stress melt away.
