Incredible Views & Perfectly Cosy

My mother and I stayed here for a couple of nights and it was a blissful experience. So perfectly positioned close to villages and bush walks and the views from the house are breathtaking. Lots of homely touches at the historic cottage. David was an incredibly kind and responsive host and there were lost

PERFECT DREAM RELAXING HOLIDAY

Magnificent view over horses in the front paddock, reservoir & Port Phillip Bay in the distance, through picture windows that extend the entire house, even in the bathroom that has a two person spa. Loved the central gas heating and the sound of the Puffing Billy echoing down the valley. Location is central to the Dandenong Ranges, so it is easy to drive through magical fern-filled forests to wonderful little villages with great cafes, coffee, food & interesting shops.

Lovely get away with all that's needed at your fingertips.

The surroundings of the property make for the most tranquil and relaxing stay. The home has the best views, a well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms and great heating. Apart from some digital tv interference which made watching the footy hard there is nothing to complain about. Highly recommend for a get away retreat.

What a view!!

We stayed at Tudor Ridge for a week and were sorry to leave. We had a wonderful holiday in the Dandenongs and David's cottage was a pleasure to come home to every day. It has such character and the view is just delightful. We could have gazed at it all day. Hope to be back one day. Janet & Alan, Perth.

Fantastic spot

The house was beautiful with a great ambience and phenomenal view. It was well set up to cook our own food, and have cozy evenings of relaxing. Having Johns Hill just down the road for dog walks was great. I enjoyed having a cup of tea in the sitting room, switching between appreciating the view and reading the provided local history books. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Lovely outlook and private

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kallista and the gorgeous views. Our dog was obsessed with watching the horses out the window and sniffing around the grounds. The cottage is very cute, cosy and with 3 sources of heating it was perfect during the very miserable weather we had. The bed was comfortable, the double shower and spa made it feel like a real treat. We could have used a bit more firewood (which was supplied when we asked) and kindling (realised this was needed a bit too late) for the second night. Would recommend this place!

Beautiful heritage cottage with stunning views from picture windows and furnished true to the era with very comfortable beds & furnishings. Unfortunately, the second bathroom was not clean, with dirty floor, basin & cobwebs spoiling the overall positive impression of the home. Clients of average height will struggle to reach bath towels on lovely train racks which are attached very high on the wall in both bathrooms! However, overall it was a lovely place to stay, with the added advantage of being dog friendly.
