Luxury Home With a Spectacular View

Luxury home on the top of Mt Dandenong

Situated less than an hour from the Melbourne CBD, on the uppermost reach of the Dandenong Ranges, amid cool ferny glades and lush towering native forests. This is one of Mount Dandenong's premier getaway homes with majestic views to be experienced day or night over the Melbourne skyline.

Walking distance to the famous SkyHigh Observatory and restaurant and a short drive to the mystical William Ricketts Sanctuary and The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden.
The space
We are offering a six bedroom house with high ceilings, expansive windows and skylights which give an abundance of natural light and a vast terrace including a Spa for outdoor entertaining.

If there are fewer than 7 guests the entire lower floor will be available which includes a master bedroom with full en-suite, walk in wardrobe and king size bed, along with a large wide screen television with Foxtel, Netflix and Stan. 2 guest bedrooms with queen size beds, televisions and another bathroom. There is a large open plan kitchen and dining room, laundry and high ceiling, spacious sitting room, again with a large wide screen television showing Foxtel, Netflix and Stan.
You will also have full access to our theatre room with reclining leather chairs and full surround sound. The theatre room has Fetch, Netflix and Stan accounts.

For 7 to 8 guests, the forth bedroom which is above the master bedroom will be opened up. This bedroom doesn't have an en-suite but does have 2 single beds and large wide screen television. Please be aware that it requires a booking of 9 or more guests to open the 3rd bathroom.

For 9 to 11 guests, the fifth Garden View Bedroom, which boasts queen size bed, walk-in-wardrobe and another gorgeous en-suite bathroom will also be available.

For 12 to 13 guests the 6th bedroom which is designed for kids 12 and over and has a double lower bunk and single upper bunk will be opened. This shares an en-suite with the 5th bedroom.

For more than 13 guests we have another property across the road that can accommodate a further 10 guests, please see my other listing for details and availability.

The Kitchen is light filled and equipped for self catering. It contains a top-of-the-range oven, stove, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and other appliances.

Our lovely mountain retreat is ideal for people coming to the Dandenong Ranges for weddings or other functions and conveniently located within walking distance to the famous SkyHigh function centre.

We also have a theatre room for guests to enjoy a home cinema experience. This room is fully equipped with surround sound, electric reclining leather seats, projector and screen, Fetch, Stan, Netflix and is a great addition for all to enjoy.

Beautiful House
We had an amazing time at the property! The movie theatre was phenomenal and we had a lovely time using the jacuzzi, the large kitchen and the living areas. The manager was very responsive when we had an issue with water, power and using the dryer. Highly recommend!
