Olinda Rise Retreat House

Exquisite Handcrafted masterpiece built in Olinda in the Dandenong Yarra Ranges winning the 2005 building excellence award.

The moment you step through the door your breath will be taken away by the stunning wooden high ceilings an array of light gazing through the windows overlooking out to the bay views from the large deck.

Stay amongst the trees see the tranquil feeling it brings, encircled by nature: deer’s, kookaburras, rosellas, Koalas & much more! Don’t be surprised to have a Kookaburra come up wanting you to feed them they are super friendly.

You will then walk through to the living area; so beautifully furnished with the finest Décor. Snuggle by the wooden fire place whilst you gaze out at the stunning Bay views of the city, entertain on the decking area or just spend some time relaxing watching Netflix on the 65 Inch Smart screen TV.

2 of the Bedrooms have their very own ensuite & 1 with its own deck, there is a main bathroom for 2 Bedrooms to share which has a spa bath. You have a fully stocked Kitchen which you can cook or bake away whilst looking out at the stunning nature.

45 minute drive from Melbourne; set in the heart of the beautiful Mt. Dandenong Ranges. We are off the busy Tourist Road but only 2 Minute walk to the villages of Olinda where there are several restaurants, cafes, Bakery, IGA, Fruit & Veggie Grocer & shops.

Great for a romantic getaways, relaxing holiday, retreats or business events. Being in the heart of the Dandenong’s means you don't need a car. Walk to Olinda or Mount Dandenong villages, explore the National Parks walks and walking trails. Within 15 minutes there is Sassafras, Puffing Billy, Wineries and the Yarra Valley.

Very disappointing
Bedding & towels were stained & dirty looking , Not nearly enough hand towels ( also stained ) shower door crooked - spilling water over floor in ensuite , soiled sanitary napkins left in both ensuite bathroom bins, no fly screens on windows, mosquito appliance useless, no fans in bedroom off living area - very stuffy, one days worth of shower gel not enough for 4 night stay of 8 adults - no hand soap, no paper towels either , fireplace full of ash. No firewood in house, NO HOT TUB AT ALL - even though it was stated on the listing. The place has potential & the living area is very good for a large family group to sit together / watch the tennis etc. Dining area also good for a group of 8. Unfortunately it has not been well maintained - lacks a bit of love - seriously low on basics like soap & clean towels - not even any dish washing liquid . Host was very quick to demand a 5 Star review at 11 o’clock on the dot of check out -& then demanded it twice more with a promise of a discount if booking directly with her on another platform. Sorry to be so negative- I’ve never written a negative review before - but this was really off putting - especially when described as luxury accommodation .

Lovely holiday spot, nice home
Overall we were very happy with our stay. Its a good house for a family get together. There were a few issues that the managers could easily sort out 1. The instructions to find the place were not accurate 2. The sign out front does not reflect the name of the property 3. The bed on the first/main room is terrible 4. Only two tea towels were available, and they were old and musty 5. Two of the dining table chairs were broken 6. Odd crockery for the standard of the home 7. The managers came about 30 minutes before our checkout time and were meeting near the front windows, we didnt like that at all These things could be sorted easily and would greatly improve the stay. There are some great features of the property. Lovely deck, great outdoor dining table, nice kitchen, comfortable lounge room.

Extended family winter escape
Fabulous home comfortably accomodating extended family for a long weekend stay in the middle of winter. Super warm and spacious. The hosts have thought of everything and we’re super generous with the continental Breakfast provisions! Loved the resident kookaburras and the amazing view of the city from the balcony. We will be back soon!
