About this property

A forest hideaway in the Dandenong Ranges. Nestled between ferns and maples, Dingleigh of Sassafras is one of the original cottages on the property, lovingly restored and updated. Walking proximity to Sassafras, local shops, famous gardens & the national park.

Dingleigh also offers an ideal location for elopements, or for a bride to get ready & have some beautiful photographs, surrounded by nature, before the ceremony.

The space:
Down a winding road not far from town, between tall gums and deciduous trees, lies the picturesque property of Dingleigh.
