About this property
Garden Cottage - Fern Falls Cottages - Luxury romantic hideaway and decadent private spa room
Just 45 minutes from Melbourne CBD, Garden Cottage is a luxurious romantic retreat set on a tranquil 10-acre estate—one of Mount Dandenong’s best-kept secrets. This charming hideaway offers everything you need for a dreamy escape: a romantic four-poster bed, crackling open fire, private spa room, and a full kitchen with a continental breakfast hamper included for your first morning.
Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, the cottage is nestled among towering mountain ash trees, ancient tree ferns, and vibrant seasonal blooms—camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and magnolias. In 2024, the gardens were beautifully refreshed, making your stay even more magical.
Part of Fern Falls Cottages (alongside Fern Cottage), the property is just 1km from Olinda village and a short drive to SkyHigh Observatory and popular wedding venues—perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or a romantic weekend away.
Unwind, reconnect, and let nature work its magic.
