Woolrich Historic Garden Accommodation

Great stay but could some improvements needed!”

Location was superb nestled amongst the forest and wildlife. Only a few minutes drive to the Olinda township and not even 10 min drive to Sassafras Village! Exceptional breakfast provisions offered and lovely extras of fruit, biscuits, port, chocolates and a bottle of bubbly. Free wifi and comfortable bedding. A couple of other sensational features which this cottage has which sets this apart from other stays in that area is the indoor Jacuzzi and open wood fireplace. We did however feel it necessary to point out a few things which didn't meet our expectation with the hope that this honest review will be taken constructively by the owners. We had minimal contact with them and found them to be somewhat aloof. The lounge suite looked and felt evidently worn with cracking and fraying in the leather as did the dining chairs with a couple of torn seats. The back door leading to the patio was jammed so we couldn't access this area unfortunately. The oven rangehood was not working when cooking the lovely breakfast provisions so we had to open the kitchen windows for ventilation and to avoid smoking up the place. One of the bins in the bathroom of the spare bedroom had not been emptied from the previous guests - It was clearly missed during cleaning but not a huge problem. Some squeaky floorboards need attention especially the one just before the main bedroom. The cottage could also do with a scent diffuser to help it smell nice and fresh. The parking area has no lighting at all and should really have some illumination as it is pitch dark by 6pm and impossible to see whats in front of you. Woolrich rd leading to the property is unsealed and very rough and care needs to be taken as we hit some very deep pot holes.

One of our fave Cottages”

We love visiting the Dandenong's and this cottage is one of the best. Very spacious for our family including kids (ages 6-11). Great spa. So many details and inclusions thought of. Gardens are amazing, so good you could spend a weekend here and not need to see anything else in Olinda or surrounds! Did not love the nearby Oriental Tea House for dinner, but did enjoy the Cloudhill Seasons Cafe for lunch. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Very cosy cottage and nice jacuzzi ”

It was a well maintained and cozy little cottage. Stay was made very comfortable with ready breakfast supplies, hot jacuzzi bath. Free wifi. Owner was not around during check in and check out to the cottage but she was easily contactable.

Nice”

Had a good time

Relaxing get away with cosy comforts”

Lovely spot to relax and get away from the city. Beautiful outlook down the valley. Great garden setting and close to lovely Cloud Hill gardens. Very generous top quality breakfast provisions! Large 4 person spa for extra relaxation. The road to the property was very narrow and unlit at night. A larger, better lit sign would make the property easier to find. Also directions to reception would be helpful.

Highly recommendable ”

Very enjoyable stay. Comfortable and relaxing accommodation. Magnificent gardens and views. Many lyrebirds, unperturbed by our presence. Loved the spa.

Great place for Holiday”

Only 1 thing need improvement is briefing for how to use the heater and other things. When I went there, I even doesn't know the key is put at door and where is the house to stay. I went to knock the house door. Fortunately there have a person to tell me where is the house and the key is over there. After I stepped in, the room is quite cold and I don't know how to operate the heater and have to search for wifi password. Called to ask twice, the password given was wrong.

Beautiful and restful escape”

Very pleased with our stay, we would certainly return if we were visiting this area again.

Comfortable and cozy house to stay in”

We had enjoyed our 2 nights stay there. House is big and comfortable. It has a very large and nice garden for guest(s) to roam about freely. Would recommend this place to friends when they are planning to stay in dendanong.

Just walk in and experience a different life”

amazing place with silence”

we arrived late Friday night and were shown the suite which was superb. very quiet and lots of bird life in the manicured gardens. a lovely retreat for relaxing.

Beautifully kept property”

On arrival we were very generously upgraded by the owner from the garden suite to a beautiful 2 bedroom villa - most charming, beautifully decorated,incredibly well stocked. My husband did get to see our originally booked suite and said it also looked fantastic. The only thing that proved to be a problem in the villa was mosquitoes - the owner had mentioned them and left a zapper for us but we couldn't find it after she left. Otherwise an exceptional property.

C'était bien. Le seul petit problème était que le logement n'était pas prêt alors que nous avions téléphoné pour confirmer notre heure d'arrivée la veille et que l'internet ne fonctionnait pas. Sinon, nous sommes tout à fait satisfaits de notre séjour.

非常难忘的经历”

因台风改变了行程，原本打算住两晚的非常遗憾只住了一晚。只适合自驾，虽然有点远，但是非常难忘，太爱原木壁炉了，真希望能多住几晚。花园的环境非常好，春天去春花烂漫，非常美丽，从那里去亚拉河谷也很近，以后一定还要再去。
