Absolutely loved masquerade as a weekend getaway ! John was a great host and helped us with anything we needed . The room itself was beautiful , opening up onto its own balcony which overlooked the forest , and also had its own ensuite with a double shower . You have your own table and chairs outside which you are able to have breakfast etc, it was a shame it was raining for us as the birds and kookaburras are always in the balcony so they could of joined us for breakfast !
The room itself was really spacious and you felt at home straight away . Although the aim of the room is too wake up looking out at the view of the forest , the only downfall is it didn't have curtains , so if you wanted to sleep in there wasn't any chance ! Definitely bring a sleeping mask.
The location is really good to a lot of the activities around mount dandenong , for active goers 1000 steps is a 20 min drive with lots of gardens and walks on the way , restaurants and cafes are also within 5-20 dependent on where you go .
All in all , we would 100% come back for another weekend away, thankyou John for letting us experience your amazing place ☺️
