This is the perfect place to feel immersed in nature whilst still being a short drive to all of the beautiful small towns that the Dandenong ranges have to offer.
A short drive or scenic walk to Emerald Lake Park is a must whether you are looking for a place to put a picnic rug and read a good book or a decent walk with varying length options to work off some lunch, all with the whistle of Puffing Billy’s historic steam engine echoes through the hills.
Violets Cottage provided a beautiful tranquil base for our mini adventures and the perfect place to relax with our new books as afternoon sunlight filtered through the trees and the surrounding bird song was all that could be heard.
We also loved the relaxing rain head shower after our big walk through the park!
