This property was quite nice with beautiful grounds and our cabin was very comfortable, but TBH it was dead. We were there for 1 night and barely saw another guest. There was no restaurant open, and when we came back after having dinner in town, the whole place was deserted. Then when we went back to our cabin, the TV reception was not great, which is fine normally, as most places have smart TVs, and you can just login to your own Netflix. But these were old TVs, and we couldn't even do that. So, with 2 teens with me, we didn't have a lot of options. For almost $400 a night, I was expecting more from it.

Signage at entrance is poor as it has another name in large letters and then a small sign saying the panorama etc. very confusing. we drove past and then another km or so there was another sign that took us into the back. The setting is beautiful and quiet. lots of birdlife and rabbits. Dinner is very limited and served in lounge but understand there are other venues within driving distance. Rooms are clean, very small, no bar fridge. Staff are very friendly - polite and accommodating.

Very pleasant. Friendly, immaculate, warm. Excellent value for money. Superb gardens, beautifully maintained. It was a one-off trip to see family visiting from the US but would love to see it in the early spring. Only downside irrelevant - those of us from flat places found the mountain roads challenging.

Beautiful location, clean rooms, close to Olinda and Sassafras. Very handy for exploring the Dandenong Rangers. Staff are friendly. The communal lounge and Pool table were a great bonus. Downfalls - no fridge or microwave in room. We were also booked in the same night as a wedding party, so the after party took place in the rooms beside our's, as well as the courtyard beaide our window, so I was kept awake most of the night, which left me rather angry with a big day of driving and walking ahead of me.

The customer service from staff was great and I cannot fault but a few things to note. On booking we weren’t notified that access was via a dirt road. The breakfast inclusion was disappointing with only cereal, toast and fruit, not hot food. We opted for twin beds and when we moved one we were horrified by the thick dust under the bed that had clearly not been cleaned for months, the shower door did not close and there was an awful smell coming from drain. Our handle on the door broke and locked us inside the room but thankfully staff acted quickly. Disappointed that there was not even a small fridge in the room to keep a bottle of water cold. Pool was a comfortable temperature but needed a really good clean and no lines marked on the tennis courts.
