Lovely little cottage with very quick and simple check in. The cottage overall was clean and dust free. But please be warned you are not allowed to use the fireplace. I had specifically booked this accommodation to use the fireplace - to sit in front of and relax but (yes, the ducted heating is amazing but a fire creates a cosy atmosphere which this place is missing without it). So if you specifically want a fireplace - don't book. The bathroom could use a freshen up too, dated and cheaply "renovated" along with the kitchen. But in saying all this - great size and location to relax in front of the tv (not fireplace) cook a meal and have a wonderful, uninterrupted sleep!.

Gorgeous Cottage

It’s a gorgeous, modern, well heated little cottage that is very clean, tidy and well maintained. It’s a very short walk to the local shops and easy to find.

Lovely 2 bedroom garden cottage close the Olinda village.

I took my elderly mother for a little getaway for 2 nights. 2 family members joined us for 1 night. Enough room to sleep on the couch for 1 night. It would be great to have the little cottage out in the garden as an extra bedroom (hopefully this is a plan for the future). Little bit of painting needed in the bathroom to touch up, but otherwise very neat and tidy. Steps are needed to be negotiated at the entrance and outside so need to be aware when taking elderly folk here. Loved the comfy lounge and plenty of seating for watching TV even had access to Netflix !!! Lovely shaded garden for a warm day and open fire for winter. Would stay again really comfy for a small group.

Mid week getaway

Arrived at the property just after check in time, had to ring the owner for key log in as it wasn't supplied. The cottage is really lovely, beautifully appointed. Only downside was not enough kindling supplied to start the fire, too damp outside, so necessitated a trip to the IGA for kindling and firestarters (left the remainder there for the next person) Beds super.comfy, bathroom very clean. My 82 year old sister very appreciative of the non slip bath surface. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would recommend this cottage easily

Not happy. Double booked and canceled without notification

This was terrible. Communication with the owner was poor. Almost non existent. I had to chase contact. On the day of arrival, we realized we had no info relating to check in so made contact. Only to receive a reply advising us our booking was cancelled due to double booking. We booked over a month in advance. We had just arrived in Olinda when the response arrived. There was no alternative offered or suggested. We were told it wasn’t their fault and it occurred on the same day we booked. My question then is why wasn’t it picked up then and they confirmed our request for the two rooms two weeks after the booking? I feel they were deceptive and disorganised. We were left high and dry. No compensation was offered. This was a farewell weekend for my friend who is leaving the country to live overseas. Fortunately we came across Brett from Como Cottages who had a vacancy and he personally took us to it and made us feel very welcome. His service was wonderful. He saved the day and turned what was very upsetting to a blessing. So we ended up having a better experience. We were completely dissatisfied with Olinda cottages service and would never recommend them.

About the host

Hosted by Waruni

Host profile image
We are a family-run hosting team based in Australia, and we take great pride in creating a comfortable and welcoming stay for our guests. We enjoy hosting because we genuinely love helping people relax, unwind, and enjoy quality time with family or friends, especially in beautiful natural settings like Cockatoo.

We have thoughtfully prepared this property to feel like a home away from home, with cleanliness, comfort, and convenience as our top priorities. Whether you are visiting for a peaceful getaway, a family break, or to explore the local area, we are always happy to assist and ensure your stay is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

We look forward to welcoming you and hope you create wonderful memories during your time here.

Why they chose this property

We chose Olinda for its timeless beauty, romantic village atmosphere, and stunning natural surroundings. Set in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges, Olinda is known for its towering trees, lush gardens, and peaceful forest setting that feels a world away from everyday life.

What we enjoy most is the unique blend of nature and village charm. You can start the day with a walk through nearby gardens or forest trails, enjoy a long lunch at one of the area’s well-known cafés or restaurants, and end the evening with a quiet stroll beneath the trees. Each season brings its own magic, from misty mornings and cosy winter fires to vibrant autumn colours and fresh spring blooms.

Olinda is perfect for guests looking for a relaxing escape, a romantic getaway, or a base to explore the Dandenong Ranges while still enjoying boutique shopping, dining, and local experiences right on your doorstep.
