We loved the shops in Olinda and Sassafras just down the road. Easy walking, sitting in the sun at Dudley’s having a wine was relaxing.The trees and the beautiful Dandenong botanical gardens were amazing. It is like a little haven just out of Melbourne, all the people working in shops are so friendly it is just such an awesome little town.
Because it is so incredible it is getting really busy on weekends.

The townships of Sassafras and Olinda offer many quirky and artistic shopping and dining experiences. Alternatively you can have a typical aussie bush experience. The many massive gardens in the area are a must. The Alfred Nicholas Gardens are great any time and the Botanic gardens rhododendrens are sensational in season. The area along the Tourist road and out to Kallista is beautiful.
I highly recommend a visit to this area.

The place was picked by the photos and they were out if date . The spa wasn't the same as the picture. And my wife is a invalid so the spa was very difficult to use for her as the height was very dangerous. It clearly isn't the photo which was advertised. Also there was no area for standing outside if it rained no cover at all. Also very noisy being down stairs can hear constant noises. The breakfast was good and the place is warm. It's clean but it's less then the pictures are discibing .

At first they seemed nice, but when we walked into the back in a dark (what seemed to be a garage or something, messy paper work everywhere) we just brushed it off and we regret not looking at the place before paying the remaining money.
When she showed us around she pointed out all the faulty appliances that we shouldn't be using, she asked my husband if he was a handyman and how she gets some of her guest to help her 'fix' the place up. Even if my husband is a handyman we are on our anniversary getaway, we came there to relax not work.
The handle of the sliding door (which is basically your main entrance) is broken and anyone can break in literally with a ruler, no security at all.
When we saw the bathroom she told us that she took 3 light bulbs out and only left us with 1, when we asked why she replied "because guest leave the lights on when they go out".
It was so dusty and dirty, when we rocked up the towels were on the oil heater cause they weren't dried and ready for us, the towel rack broke while she was showing us around. The bed sheets didn't look clean nor did they smell clean, we saw some bed bugs on the bed and this put us off straight away.
We booked the Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath, there was no balcony or mountain view for us. I believe that as guest we deserve to have a clean, comfortable and secure environment to stay in especially when we are paying $320 a night.
We didn't end up staying at any of the 2 nights that we booked, We were so disappointed and outraged so we just went back home.
We did call and try to compromise to get half our money back but they didn't return any of our calls or messages
Absolutely the worst way to end our anniversary getaway!!!!

Couldn't visit gardens or national parks - most closed due to damage from wild weather - however, normally these are lovely to visit.
The villages along the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road can get quite crowded on weekends, so if you can visit during the week, it will be more peaceful.
there are plenty of food options around, including some good 'country pubs'.
My husband and I stayed in the Forest cottage it is a gorgeous ,comfortable, private cottage
It has everything you need and Very clean
Breakfast was included fresh and delicious and plenty of chooses
The gardens are beautiful, peaceful and well maintained. The property is walking distance to plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops and beautiful gardens
Jessica and Chris are fantastic hosts and we thank you very much
Highly recommend a stay at the Arcadia Cottages, definitely will return
Plentiful breakfast supplies ready in the fridge and cupboard. Perfect location, opposite shops and a short driving distance to all Mt Dandenong attractions. Very spacious cottage, lovely deck to catch the afternoon sun. Perfectly working heating system, beautiful fireplace, firewood replaced
when needed. Lovely owners who very quickly came to our rescue when our two year old locked us out! Would highly recommend to family and friends to stay here. Thank you.
The bed was SUPER comfy and the bedding was warm - even in the middle of winter. The pot belly stove was a real highlight and once we got it going the room stayed lovely & warm. Earthstone & Lillian were lovely and welcoming. Felt like we were in the middle of the forest but only a couple of minutes from Sassafras & Olinda. The 2-night stay was a perfect way to take full advantage of the fire/wine/book afternoon! Would definitely go back.
Excellent location only 150m walk from the Mt Dandenong Hotel and Kellys Bistro and other shops. Well stocked breakfast items and true double spa bath. Plenty of heating options for cold nights. Small balcony with table and chairs providing views over the city lights. Nice rustic garden setting with some little quirky features. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Off street parking provided.
I don’t normally write reviews, but I must compliment Jing on your property.
We were absolutely delighted with the Blue and White House. All breakfast provisions were generously supplied, just a short stroll from the main part of Olinda Set in lovely tranquil gardens surrounded by rainforest.
It was perfect for our visit for a family wedding, and I’ll definitely be recommending it :)
Everything was just perfect, from everything you could think of for breakfast to the robes and slippers in the wardrobe, we could not have asked for more. It was within walking distance to an Irish pub (Kelly's)and the shops in Olinda.
We enjoyed our stay immensely. We will definitely be back and maybe try one of the other rooms next time.
Everything was wonderful. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and peaceful with lovely views of the trees, gardens and birds. Very close to the Olinda shops and Botanic Gardens. Fantastic breakfast included and the warm bread delivered each day was such a treat. Highly recommend.
I loved the facilities offered, especially the Spa from the Fernwood Cottage. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed for our one-night stay. Also, they provide you with a complete breakfast and snacks. Finally, the bed was very comfy and clean.
the breakfast inclusions are exceptional. There is nothing more needed, everything is provided, more like a brunch than breakfast! More than enough in every way, even down to the box of chocolates upon arrival. Wonderful service!
The cottage was perfect. Lots of nice, personal touches and the cottage afforded a great deal of privacy. We walked into Olinda for dinner easily and it was a great starting point to explore the beautiful surroundings.
Location was excellent. Setting was very nice. Cottage was charming, but with a stylish, modern twist. We made use of the cast iron fire place, which created a cosy atmosphere. Had our little dog with us. We loved it.
Location excellent in heart of Olinda.. walked to seasons at cloud hill for breakfast.. a must do …20min walk.amenities were good …equipment such as microwave and washer/ dryer excellent.
