Lovely area, Kookaburras laughing were a standout. Great views of the hills. Just one 'complaint'...... it was a pity that the backyard area wasn't totally enclosed, as our dogs had to be on the lead the whole time outside the carport area. Even though they are little dogs they do like to explore, I understand that there may have been a perceived issue about picking up droppings after them, but we are vigilant about picking up after our dogs. Otherwise it was adequate for our purpose of stay. Mary and Anders were very attentive, and concerned when we had a power outage due to storms.

Loved our stay at Mary and Anders accommodation. The gas fire , TV and comfy bed were greatly appreciated . We had such a great time exploring the Yarra Valley from our base in Mt Evelyn and only being around 90 minutes from the city was an added bonus .

The property was in a quiet lovely location, very near to all the Yarra Valley wineries, cafes, galleries, breweries and cheese making. The facility is good if you are having trouble with your mobility, shower chair and toilet seat provided. The larger bathroom has a shower which can be used for people who have to sit in the shower. Not suitable for wheelchair users though.
But very usable for walking frame and walkers.
It is big enough for a family of four.
The Apple TV service was wonderful.
Wi-Fi excellent. Milk and chocolates and Timtams provided. In the fridge there was, Brie cheese and quince jelly.
The gas fire was amazing as it was really cold. We had a barbecue tea one night using the lovely barbecue supplied.
Everything was lovely, Mary the hostess came on arrival and showed me around and explained everything to me. She was also there when I left and interested in how everything went. 5* I wouldn’t hesitate to tell family and friends about it.

We had a very enjoyable stay here the house is beautiful very quiet and relaxing. The place was suited very well for young children as we have 2 toddlers. They really enjoyed the trampoline in the garden. The hosts were very accommodating and even helped us get last min tickets to the puffing billy.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Mary and Anders provide a sparkling clean, comfortable & cosy apartment with all the amenities you need for a little getaway. The fireplace, along with the outlook into the little courtyard and the views across the hills to Mt Dandenong in these quiet surrounds added to the peace and tranquillity we were after for our few days away.
We’d be more than happy to return some time.
Thank you Mary & Anders for your warmth & hospitality & for your attention to the details that ensured our specific needs were met.

We loved our stay here. Mary and Anders are the perfect hosts! Plenty of room for our Labradors to roam outside and good undercover areas too. Warm and cosy! We had moved away from Melbourne to the North east and come back for regular Doctor and Dentist appointments...We were able to stretch our few appointments over 4 nights with our Labradors this time. The spectacular beauty of the area is wonderful. Close to busier Lilydale if you need with multiple dog friendly parks (try the great Mt Evelyn Recreation Reserve next to the footy ground). Beautifully presented and great walking amongst the Mountain Ashes and along Olinda Creek. Or the Lilydale Dog off leash area just below the Lake. Thank you!

Thanks for having us in your home, was very clean and beautiful and we especially loved sitting on the porch looking at the birds and smelling all the blossoming flowers. Warm fire and Netflix was a bonus! And the trails were gorgeous too. Thank you so much Mary!

We loved our getaway in the Dandenongs, the accommodation was immaculately clean and well presented. The icing on the cake for us was that we were able to take our dog, she was very safe in a secure area right at the back door and was even able to come inside in the kitchen area. The facilities ensued we had every comfort we needed.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was quiet, relaxing and comfortable. Perfect location for what we were doing over the weekend. We managed to get a little run in up the Warburton Trail which is literally just a few hundred meters up the road. The hamper and cheese platter on arrival was amazing, we have never been welcomed with such care and thought. Our main reason for picking this accommodation was being able to bring our 2 dogs with us. There's so little to choose from when you have to bring your furkids but this was perfect!

Warm and cosy
We received a warm welcome on arrival after a long drive from Adelaide, Mary had turned the heater on for us so the apartment was very warm and cosy. The apartment has everything you need and was very private. It was very handy to everything we needed for the weekend. Really good location. Perfect set up for our dog too, Mary had thoughtfully put some biscuits in Missy's bowl for our arrival. Thank you Mary we will be back again. Cate, Steve and Missy
