The house is perfectly located for exploring the Dandenong Ranges, and we loved the quirky layout and the glasshouse where we ate dinner looking at the sparkling lights of Melbourne through the tree-filtered view.
The house is tastefully renovated (great kitchen and bathroom) and very cosy when using either the heating or open fireplace.
The house was spotlessly clean but keep in mind you are in the Ranges so there will be bugs.
It was great to take our pet too, the yard isn't fenced and there is no lawn area so it was a bit of work supervising her every time she needed to go outside and cleaning her feet on coming back in, but it was manageable.
A very relaxing stay!
