Holly Lodge - Verandah View Cottage

The Verandah View cottage is in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. The peaceful atmosphere invites you to totally relax and engage with your surroundings. Stroll in the beautiful gardens amongst the tall mountain ash and tree ferns. Take in the exquisite view from your private deck while you feed the kookaburras and parrots. Birdlife is abundant. Enjoy a twilight barbeque as you watch the sunset from your private Hot tub. In winter the warmth of the hot tub is exquisite in the misty forest.

Guest access

There is parking available on the property. The use of your own vehicle is recommended. The main tourist road is a stroll away from the cottage where you can access public transport which will take you to the quaint villages of Olinda and Sassafras. Public transport routes include Belgrave, Croydon and Lillydale. Bus services are not frequent and you will need to plan your journey. If you are adventurous and fit enough you can walk or cycle to Olinda along the footpath adjacent to the main tourist road. Olinda is 5kms from the cottage and the walk can be challenging. You can stop at the" Pig and Whistle" pub on the way to Olinda. Destiny Point offers fantastic breakfast and is a small walk from the cottage
