Summary: Thank you to Greg for great communication and easy check in process. Bed very comfy and lovely hot water.

Summary: Overall it was a good experience, and wonderful that it was pet-friendly. Loved having the fire going! The dog could get under the house (beneath the deck) so that was challenging to get him to come out, and not to eat the seeds/nuts in the garden. One area of improvement could be to block it off. It would also be good if some spare linen and/or washing detergent could be supplied as there was only one towel per person.

Greg R. Dec 12, 2024 10:26:09 AM

Summary: Very clean & quant house stayed 3 nights it was very comfortable and well positioned for what we needed.

Summary: Stayed here for the 2nd time on a trip to see family in Ferntree Gully. Nice to see a few new additions to the decor in particular the old school gaming console which was a big hit with our 9 year old. Greg is a responsive host. Thanks Greg

Summary: For a visit to the Dandenongs this little 1868 two bedroom cottage was perfectly located. The cottage is well set up for a small family plus dog, although the safe backyard needs grass for animal and child comfort. The bathroom and modest kitchen are modern. It was an enjoyable stay; however the Dandenong region is 50 year ago villages with 2024 traffic and people - not really as relaxing as I’d hoped.

Summary: Cottage was nice and clean with comfy bedding.

Paula R. Apr 4, 2024 09:44:23 AM

Summary: Well equipped with everything you will need but you have to buy all consumables and I had to get some cleaning products. Any basics that are there, are what have been left by previous guests. Bed is super comfortable with great linen but the couch/sofa is super uncomfortable. House is on a busy intersection so be prepared for road noise. Secure back garden area which was good for my dog but both back and front need work/tidying up. Not appealing spaces outside and there is no railing around the deck (small kids would be a worry) and there are nails sticking up from some of the wooden boards. Host was responsive and friendly in communication but with some TLC in the garden and a more comfortable and practical sofa, this place would be worth the money asked.

Summary: Wonderful property, full of character and charm.
