Cottage In The Forest - Relax in your King size bed looking out onto the forest, curl up on the lounge with open wood fire.

If you close your eyes and picture the quintessential hills cottage you would more than likely imagine Cottage in the Forest.
With a king size bed, a cosy living room with a log fire, a spa bath and a fully equipped kitchen Cottage in the Forest provides the perfect setting for your next intimate getaway.
Set on an acre of forested land, between the villages of Olinda and Sassafras, and surrounded by towering trees and the sweet sounds of the local birdlife, Cottage in the Forest will give you all the tranquility and privacy that you desire for an intimate mountain getaway.
In walking distance to Olinda Village and a short drive to Mt Dandenong and local attractions, Cottage in the Forest, is ideally located for exploring everything the Dandenongs has to offer.
And although only less than hour from Melbourne the world will feel a million miles away.
There is airconditioning for your summer stay at Cottage in the Forest. Wi Fi is complimentary, however in 'the hills' connection can be unstable, and this is out of our control.

And there's Wifi for you of course if you must! (Do note that internet and phone reception in the Dandenong Ranges can be unstable and please understand we have no control over that. If you rely on wifi please bring a backup modem).

Beautiful quiet cottage
I stayed here after my wedding night, the check in could be a lot better as we did not receive the key code and had to stand outside the property at 11pm calling for the code, other than that it was a beautiful cottage, great views and peaceful. The drive way is extremely steep so a sedan might struggle.

Loved our stay
We absolutely loved our stay, everything was perfect. The only negative thing was we didn't receive the key safe code email to get in and were stranded until the phone was answered. 5 stars otherwise.
