Words from the owners: We loved the style of the buildings with a central corridor and a veranda at the front. I often thought about the cosy and uncomplicated feeling these buildings generated. Combined with the modern facilities of the bathroom and kitchen we thought this feeling would make an unusual and interesting stay for guests who perhaps come from the city. The setting in a tiny garden and being adjacent to Sherbrooke Forest (walk there through our back gates) and close to Belgrave township and the Villages of Sassafras, Olinda and Mt Dandenong we hope will appeal to you as our guests. You will be very comfortable in the antique iron queen bed, or cosied up by the fire in the lounge room watching Foxtel on the large TV. The kitchen is delightfully put together for you, so lots of interesting antique kitchen ware - even a Kookaburra Stove which is just for 'Show N Tell' - it is decorative only. But we have included a fridge, a microwave and an electric frypan as well as the absolutely essential Nespresso coffee machine, kettle and toaster. A welcome pack of coffee, tea, sugar and fresh milk is provided - you might also like to add a delicious hamper for your stay (additional fees apply). Beautiful leadlight windows in the bedroom and bathroom for your enjoyment. The bathroom is beautiful and has a delightful overhead rain shower in the huge walk in shower - there's room for two in there! 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). PLEASE NOTE: The lighting of wood burning fires in properties will be prohibited from the beginning of the declared fire danger season (normally mid December) to the end of February. It is also prohibited on all days of Total Fire Ban at any time of the year. Please see www.cfa.vic.gov.au/home If there is no wood and kindling provided at your property, it will be because of this policy. The collecting and burning of twigs, leaves and branches from outside your property is strictly forbidden at anytime. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Food and drink - Microwave ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Free toiletries ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony/patio - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 step to reach entrance - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34630000/34621600/34621589/d5b6e148.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Boyanda At Ferny Creek - A wonderfully historic home with amazing views over the bays and sparkling lights.

Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private, escape in the mountains. We loved it. This is the perfect year-round escape. Every detail in Juniper and Rye has been so thoughtfully put together. From the camellias and heliotrope growing outside the bathroom windows, to the fireplace and the kindling and wood thoughtfully provided. ##### Emily J. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda C. Feb 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Near the Dandenong Ranges National Park The cute little cottage is near the Dandenong Ranges National Park. We enjoyed the bush walk beside Sherbrooke Creek to Sherbrooke Falls and hearing the birds while in the cottage. We were glad that the property manager told us that the road into the property had a steep entrance, or we may not have seen it from the main road. ##### Amanda C.
