From the moment you step onto the property you will be drawn into the magic of the garden and surrounding forest.

Enter your private cottage with enchanting story book style exterior and modern, elegant interior. The living area has a large sofa to sink into by the cosy log fire, where you can curl up to watch a movie, listen to music, read a book or just to BE.

Upstairs the romantic bedroom has a queen size bed, electric blanket, beautiful bamboo, and cotton sheets and a private balcony from which you can enjoy treetop views with glimpses of Melbourne city, glorious sunsets, and star gaze at night through the telescope. The adjoining bathroom has a spa bath, fluffy robes, and towels.

Perfect for a romantic weekend away, an ideal business Retreat for busy professionals and creatives needing time out to get that project done without interruptions.

Or you can simply enjoy the natural surroundings of the state forest. Enjoy the birdlife and balcony visits from Kookaburras, Rosellas and King Parrots.

We had a wonderful time staying at Wild Orchid Olinda for our mini honeymoon, Pia was very helpful with any information we needed during our stay and checkin was really convenient. The complimentary breakfast was delicious (and local produce) the fireplace and spa bath was the perfect. The location is beautiful and you feel like you’re sleeping in the tree tops ❤️ Thank you again Pia ❤️

Absolute perfection!

We just loved our stay at the wild orchid. It was our 10 year wedding anniversary, we lit the fire, snuggled on the cosy couch, enjoyed being surrounded by the trees, beautiful breakfast supplied and loved walking to the local venues. It was exactly what we were hoping for ( even the rain over the weekend just made it great for cosying up inside) The hosts were wonderful and we couldn't reccomend this place more!
