Winter in the Dandenongs
Despite the chilly winter days - this was a lovely cottage that was warm and comfortable. The owner Deep was a great host. And a great contained garden for our dogs. Highly recommend.

Will stay again
Property Manager Deep was amazing sending through additional pics before our booking as we were traveling with a trailer plus our two fur babies. Phone call or txt away Deep was helpful and easy to reach. Clean and Comfortable stay at the cottage we took full advantage of the spa and fire pit. Location was convenient, great cafes, parks and clothes shops offering dog friendly atmosphere so lovely when travelling with dogs.
