As the app will state, finding availability at Sunrise Cottage is rare. It truly is a hidden gem and we feel privileged to have had a stay here.
The rustic old front door, huge arched window, wrought iron gates, fencing and magnificent gardens, urns and accessories reminded us of our last stay in Cagnes sur Mer - yet here we were in the hills of Melbourne!
Everything is exceptionally fitted out - and also equipped with a vast collection of DVDs and games as well.
The gardens and property offers some breathtaking viewing and walks, also friendly geese, horses and alpacas.
Our only advice - given how popular the Dandenongs have become for weekends away, we encourage travelers to book their restaurants in advance of your stay. We were unable to get in anywhere, but fortunately there were plenty of takeaway options - and we opted to snuggle back in the warmth at Sunrise for our meal instead.
Thank you Liz, for allowing us to share in your beautiful surroundings. We’d love to stay again in the slightly warmer months and enjoy the outdoor patio area with a glass of wine.
