We stayed in the loft it was really peaceful because we were the only ones really there over the weekend the bed was really comfy

I got fall on attack by mozzies and during the night you will hear bugs buzzing in your ear and my boyfriend killed about 15 mozzies and the frypans were terrible the food just kept sticking to it

The cottage we stayed in is in a beautiful location, surrounded by raintree-esq forest and right near the top of Mt Dandenong. Quiet, secluded and romantic. (We stayed there for our wedding anniversary). Just a couple of mins drive to the top, and about 5 mins to closest town. Greeted upon entry with a bed covered in rose petals, with a nice bottle of red and a couple of choccies. Cottage equipped with goods for breakfast. And a spa bath easily fitting 2, to relax in romantic fashion.

Although the cottage is aged, it does add to the charm. However repairs completed were obviously taking the cheaper route. A decent selection of DVDs…. But no dvd player to watch them on.

So peaceful, gorgeous views and cozy. Extremely considerate hosts with the food, drink and entertainment provided.

There is a distinct lack of signage specific to the coorabella suite, we parked out the front of it due to the message we received in the morning, however when we walked to visit skyhigh we couldn't see any indicators to reception or that you could cut through, so we walked around. On way back we walked up the entrance on observatory rd to arnica, found reception but it still lacked signage. Not a huge issue, but could very easily be improved.

The place is so cozy and warm, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Everything was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. The surroundings are beautiful, with nature right at your doorstep, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. The breakfast provided was exceptional—delicious, fresh, and complete with everything you could want to start the day. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

The layout of the room is very well thought out, perfect for a night or 2 away. Quiet location and very clean. The fireplace was amazing and kept everything super warm. Spa was brilliant and perfect for 2. Upstairs bedroom had plenty of room just be careful of the arches. Bed super comfy and warm. Would return

Floor was very cold so make sure you wear socks or slippers. Wall heater in dining room didnt heat at night but could've been because the fireplace made it super warm already

The home was beautiful. The walls and roof were gorgeous. The size was comfortable. The spa was nice too! Provided lots of utensils. Very cozy bed. (Would love to know where the mattress topper is from!) The heater was really good at keeping us warm. Overall it was very nice!

The smell of the kitchen wasn’t very pleasant. And the tv is really in a weird place, You can’t see it properly from the bed or couch.

The location was perfect. Close enough to the cute little townships that we wanted to visit and far enough away that we felt secluded to enjoy our own privacy. I really enjoyed the stay and felt the place was perfect for what we wanted and the attention to detail in the room before we arrived was fantastic and we really appreciated the extra little efforts and appointments around the apartment.

I don't believe there was anything I didn't like.

Great location! Check in was easy, and room was nice and warm when we arrived. Beds comfortable, fireplace was a lovely touch.

Room next door was noisy, could hear from the back bedroom - not the accomodation's fault. Dishwasher leaked a little and the switchboard was triggered once but this was fixed by the host with a simple text message. Otherwise all good!

Our hosts were exceptionally accommodating, facilitating early check-in and providing vegan breakfast. Communication was excellent. The location is superb, just walking distance from SkyHigh in a stunning, quiet, private spot surrounded by birds, trees, panoramic views of city below. The cottage interior was very charming with quality facilities, antique furniture, mod cons, thoughtful touches and extras. We had a great sleep and enjoyed lolling about in the spa and dining room or feeding the birds outside. The telescope was a particular bonus on a full moon weekend. Couldn't have asked for more. Especially appreciated the attention to detail, cleanliness and thought put into providing all the creature comforts. We highly recommend this property and its hosts.

The property is great, like the big windows and the birds coming to look for being fed. The facilities in the property were good, but if the wored frypans can be changed, it will be great. Overall, it's a good stay.

A confused sign on one of the room said " additional charge will be applied if using it, which didnot match the info from Booking. Sorted it out with the owner very quickly. In the end of the day, we didn't use it at all, as the bed in the main room is big enough for my wife, me and our 10 months old baby.
