Cottage with magnificent view
We are local but needed accom while our home was repaired. But I felt like I was on a real holiday. While the rest of the family went to work or school I just enjoyed the peace and the scenery. Am so going to recommend to visiting relatives and friends!

What a view!!
We stayed at Tudor Ridge for a week and were sorry to leave. We had a wonderful holiday in the Dandenongs and David's cottage was a pleasure to come home to every day. It has such character and the view is just delightful. We could have gazed at it all day. Hope to be back one day. Janet & Alan, Perth.

Lovely outlook and private
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kallista and the gorgeous views. Our dog was obsessed with watching the horses out the window and sniffing around the grounds. The cottage is very cute, cosy and with 3 sources of heating it was perfect during the very miserable weather we had. The bed was comfortable, the double shower and spa made it feel like a real treat. We could have used a bit more firewood (which was supplied when we asked) and kindling (realised this was needed a bit too late) for the second night. Would recommend this place!

Fantastic spot
The house was beautiful with a great ambience and phenomenal view. It was well set up to cook our own food, and have cozy evenings of relaxing. Having Johns Hill just down the road for dog walks was great. I enjoyed having a cup of tea in the sitting room, switching between appreciating the view and reading the provided local history books. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Lovely get away with all that's needed at your fingertips.
The surroundings of the property make for the most tranquil and relaxing stay. The home has the best views, a well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms and great heating. Apart from some digital tv interference which made watching the footy hard there is nothing to complain about. Highly recommend for a get away retreat.

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
We are keen Equestrian and House renovators. We renovated the original Farmhouse/Cottage at Tudor Ridge back in 2009. It was the original house for the whole Jacksons Hill area of the Dandenong Ranges, and is one of the original houses in Kallista. However, it had been left to go into ruin. After 3 years of renovation and restoration, with a lot of personal toil and work, a cottage with a View at Tudor Ridge was finally ready for guests.

Why they chose this property

Great Views ...
A cottage with a view at Tudor Ridge stands on 32 acres of farm land encompassing some of the most magnificent views in Melbourne. Views are down the Mornington Peninsula to Cardinia Reservoir and the Bays. Relax on the recliner lounge while taking in panoramic views. Imagine lying in the main bed with a postcard view of the Peninsula during the day or night.

What makes this property unique

A cottage with a view at Tudor Ridge is a fully self contained stone farmhouse with two fireplaces. Two bedrooms with ensuite, one with Spa, also with kitchen and laundry. The farmhouse was built back in the early 1900s as one of the original houses in the Kallista area. It boasts some of Melbournes most magnificant views. Views are to Cardinia Dam, down the Mornington Peninsula and to the Bays. The second bedroom is locked off for 2 guests.
