Pl ignore review by Shelly my name is kathy have been here 20 years ? That review is a mistake Stand alone spa cottages and x 1 budget 2 bedroomed self contained family suite. 1.25 hours by car or accessible via public transport also. Close (walking) proximity to many restaurants/ small supermarket. Wineries and u pick farms lavender farms wholesale nurseries are within 30 mins drive. l Puffing Billy, William Ricketts Sanctuary, Rhododendron Gardens and Sky High lookout are all within 5-15 minutes drive. Cuckoo and Miss Marples are minutes away. If you like to experience fresh air, mountain vistas on a lovely walk, enjoy our 120 year old garden and its amazing trees with our super long swing maybe we will suit you. Self served breakfast with mostly organic produce as possible. Cottages sleep 2 people while the family suite accommodates 5 easily. Best suited to small families rather than party groups. Massage avail. Now also features a stand alone tiny cottage for 4 people in a nearby location. Olinda Peaceful Retreat Cottage is 3 mins from here at 20 Fordyce rd Olinda. See web

Detailed Reviews
I stayed several times at Olinda country Cottages and loved it each and every time. It's nice and warm at the winter thank to the amazing log look like heather and cool at the summer thanks to the aircondition. The views of the gardens are to die for and are changing with every season .
Those little cabin in the woods are not cold and fancy but give you the feeling and comfort as if it is your own private hideaway.
A perfect place to read, reflect, go to explore the Dandanongs and recharge.
Highly recommended to those who like and appreciate the simple things in life.

Just a one Nighter. Friendly hosts... Beautiful environment. Love the SPA in the bathroom.
Great for a wintery get away.
Breakfast was nice as they gave us eggs, milk, bread and condiments. Located in a beautiful location of Olinda.

We had three nights in the Family Cottage 7-10 July.
Cottage was clean, very comfortable and warm. The wood burning heater was very cosy and really added to the atmosphere. The breakfast was amazing, very generous, probably the best I have ever had at a BNB.
Kathy and Wally are lovely hosts and went out of their way to make our stay very comfortable.
We enjoyed the walks in the fresh air and were lucky enough to go to cafes, before the current lockdown.
Can highly recommend Olinda and in particular Olinda Country Cottages.

I booked in a room for my wife’s 30th , Shelley first cancelled the booking because I was asking to many questions about the venue and said she didn’t have time for time wasters. I was extremely upset as I was trying to plan something nice for my wife and I , she said to find somewhere else to stay because she was running such a big business that she didn’t have time to be dealing with me . I was actually shocked that this just happened . I could not recommend not dealing with Shelley high enough

Simply everything you need …
Warm, friendly hosts; lovely clean cottage (with spa!!), pretty and peaceful situation with beautiful view to the Bay from our porch; so close to little village shops with everything you need and a well-supplied stock of food for breakfast. Wonderful, central spot for visiting the fabulous sights in the Dandenongs. We LOVED it and would highly recommend Olinda Cottages.

Our trip to the Dandenongs for work coincided with the cricket World Cup. My wife and I are cricket fanatics, and we asked if the cottages had Foxtel Sports. We were informed they didn't, but the owners, Kathy and Wally, said they would have it installed for us if we stayed there.
And so we did! That was the start of the great service we experienced staying there - a luxury cottage set amongst beautiful gardens. The cottage itself had everything we could possibly need - beautifully furnished - and Wally even delivered freshly baked croissants to our door each morning. Perfect!
I am a fussy traveller, but this place was terrific.

I stayed in one of the cottages with an interstate friend not long back. This property is not the Taj Mahal. There are a lot of more fancy properties in the area, it depends on your expectations. My friend and I were very happy with the facilities and the service. The cottage was spotlessly clean and set up for convenience. There is a balcony to overlook the mist shrouded trees before coming inside to the gas log fire and a nice hot spa.. TV and music system. Stocked refrigerator with everything for a good breakfast. A stones throw from Mt Dandenong peak and even closer to shops, restaurants and the Pig and Whistle pub.. Good food by an open fire in a smoky old style English themed establishment. Short drive to Sassafras where one can find all kinds of interesting touristy shops. I would certainly visit the cottages again.

Can't say enough about how wonderful the cottages and owners are. The fireplace was lit and the cottage was so warm when we arrived. Breakfast supplies are excellent and cottage has everything you need and more! Books, games, toys etc. The kids didn't want to leave.

Stayed in Olinda Country Cottages while visiting friends in Melbourne. We were very happy to be in a cosy cottage in this scenic mountain location, away from the bustle of the city, but still be able to get back there when we needed. We had a delightful stay in the cottage. It had a pleasant and private outlook over the garden, and yet was just up the road from the village, so easy to go out for a meal and not worry about driving back afterwards.
Appreciated the generous breakfast provisions and the warm hospitality of the hosts. (Ask Wally where the best walks around there are!)
