The cottages were exactly as we saw in the photographs. Jessica was so friendly and helpful when we booked in. It was amazing to stay in such a beautiful, natural area. A very special experience.

Location was excellent. Setting was very nice. Cottage was charming, but with a stylish, modern twist. We made use of the cast iron fire place, which created a cosy atmosphere. Had our little dog with us. We loved it.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I must compliment Jing on your property.
We were absolutely delighted with the Blue and White House. All breakfast provisions were generously supplied, just a short stroll from the main part of Olinda Set in lovely tranquil gardens surrounded by rainforest.
It was perfect for our visit for a family wedding, and I’ll definitely be recommending it :)

We loved the shops in Olinda and Sassafras just down the road. Easy walking, sitting in the sun at Dudley’s having a wine was relaxing.The trees and the beautiful Dandenong botanical gardens were amazing. It is like a little haven just out of Melbourne, all the people working in shops are so friendly it is just such an awesome little town.
Because it is so incredible it is getting really busy on weekends.

The townships of Sassafras and Olinda offer many quirky and artistic shopping and dining experiences. Alternatively you can have a typical aussie bush experience. The many massive gardens in the area are a must. The Alfred Nicholas Gardens are great any time and the Botanic gardens rhododendrens are sensational in season. The area along the Tourist road and out to Kallista is beautiful.
I highly recommend a visit to this area.

The place was picked by the photos and they were out if date . The spa wasn't the same as the picture. And my wife is a invalid so the spa was very difficult to use for her as the height was very dangerous. It clearly isn't the photo which was advertised. Also there was no area for standing outside if it rained no cover at all. Also very noisy being down stairs can hear constant noises. The breakfast was good and the place is warm. It's clean but it's less then the pictures are discibing .

At first they seemed nice, but when we walked into the back in a dark (what seemed to be a garage or something, messy paper work everywhere) we just brushed it off and we regret not looking at the place before paying the remaining money.
When she showed us around she pointed out all the faulty appliances that we shouldn't be using, she asked my husband if he was a handyman and how she gets some of her guest to help her 'fix' the place up. Even if my husband is a handyman we are on our anniversary getaway, we came there to relax not work.
The handle of the sliding door (which is basically your main entrance) is broken and anyone can break in literally with a ruler, no security at all.
When we saw the bathroom she told us that she took 3 light bulbs out and only left us with 1, when we asked why she replied "because guest leave the lights on when they go out".
It was so dusty and dirty, when we rocked up the towels were on the oil heater cause they weren't dried and ready for us, the towel rack broke while she was showing us around. The bed sheets didn't look clean nor did they smell clean, we saw some bed bugs on the bed and this put us off straight away.
We booked the Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath, there was no balcony or mountain view for us. I believe that as guest we deserve to have a clean, comfortable and secure environment to stay in especially when we are paying $320 a night.
We didn't end up staying at any of the 2 nights that we booked, We were so disappointed and outraged so we just went back home.
We did call and try to compromise to get half our money back but they didn't return any of our calls or messages
Absolutely the worst way to end our anniversary getaway!!!!

Couldn't visit gardens or national parks - most closed due to damage from wild weather - however, normally these are lovely to visit.
The villages along the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road can get quite crowded on weekends, so if you can visit during the week, it will be more peaceful.
there are plenty of food options around, including some good 'country pubs'.
The immediate feeling when you step out of the car being at the location was amazing. The scents and sounds of the dandenong ranges being at your front door was great.
We even enjoyed the morning coffee on private deck with the sound of a lyre bird call nearby. The coziness of the room was amazing with the wood fire be side the bed. A very comfy floor rug beside the fire place made the stay very pleasant despite being 4-6 degrees outside. The double spa was amazing to relax in.
We would definitely visit the BnB again.

The location was ideal on the outskirts of Olinda very close to the Botanic Gardens which were beautiful and well worth visiting. The shops and cafes were a short walk away. We enjoyed the varied birdlife in the garden. We appreciated the welcome pack provided. The cottage was a warm, cosy place to stay and we'd love to stay again next time we visit Melbourne
The room was interesting, building looks very old but told it is only 40 years old. Lovely lady met us and helped with luggage. We stayed in Victorian Room, has comfy bed, nice bathroom. The Wifi didn't work in the room, was ok outside but drops out when inside. Price included cereals, milk, bread for toast etc. Juices.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, as it's immersed in a beautiful natural environment. It was wonderful to have peace, ( absolute) and listen to the wildlife around us
Loved the fresh bakery bread delivered to our door. Such a thoughtful surprise.
The cottage was self contained all cooking facilities were available to use.
Comfortable king size bed ,large bathroom with spa very good hamper for breakfast. Cosy fireplace with a glass of port.
Friendly and helpful staff .
Staff is very nice. Bed is absolutely comfy. Love the themed room, it is quaint and felt the old fashioned vibe. It is perfectly located right across the places we wish to visit in Olinda. The tub is the highlight of our stay.
Gorgeous, spacious and well catered cottage-style accomodation. Betty is a wonderful host and we really felt taken care of on our weekend away. Snacks and breakfast items were very generous, and the grounds are stunning!
The Olinda area is beautiful. The cottage is filled with high quality furniture and appliances and is very comfortable to live in. It felt like home. The welcome pack was appreciated after along journey.
Betty was warm and helpful, the place was spacious, luxurious and clean. Amazing views from the balcony and so much food and drink provided! Would definitely go back!
I liked that it was spacious but coszy.i liked that it was in the tree tops,and also enjoyed the view from all the windows.I loved the spa bath and the fireplace.
