We stayed over the xmas period and loved having a good sized kitchen to prepare meals and a large dining table to use. The balcony is spacious and looks over a road that gets busy but we had no problems with noise. The location is great for easy access to arts/crafts stores and eateries and is close to the rhododrendron gardens and reasonably central for exploring the rest of the dandenongs area. Grocery, bakery and pharmacy are 1km away.
