We wanted a week away from Melbourne among the birds and trees, and we definitely got it at Sally and Rob's beautiful old Gables house. The National Park trails are at the end of the street, and on the other end a new cafe and bar, and we were a short drive from most of the Dandenong Ranges. The house is well appointed and tastefully renovated, but still has so much picturesque old world charm. We'd love to stay again, hopefully with some more friends and family when that's allowed.
