My partner and I spent 1 night in number 2 Treetop Cottage for our anniversary and it was perfect! Very neat, clean, quiet and an amazing view, an amazing spot. We will definitely be back again, next time we will be spending more then 1 night here. Alan was super friendly and a pleasure to deal with!

Horrific stay
We couldnt find our lodge so we rung reception . The man on the phone gave us a code 9751 and we went to one of the cottages and opened it and someone was in there! So they used a generic alarm code for ALL the cottages . So security was compromised in this place!! The toilet and bathroom had no doors and was directly connected to the bedroom. And plus there was no air circulation . It was so stuffy . So its vile to have toilet smell being trapped in the whole house! The jacuzzi had a shower head over it claiming as a shower
Also there was a hole in the wall as well

Very nice little cabin (treehouse #3), the images online are accurate to what you get. Very warm and cosy. The firewood is restocked each day. Bed, couch and pillows comfortable. Great location. Reasonable value for what you get. Just watch out when using the spa, put a towel over the controller because water can get in there (even just touching the buttons) and cause the Jets to randomly turn on and off (we had to trip the safety switch in the cupboard to get the Jets to turn off at one point lol )

Stayed at the guest house, upstairs. Beautiful open living and kitchen area with fireplace, good size bedroom and nice bathroom with well designed spa. Great location with easy walking distance to main tourist spots and not too far from second set of shops and dandenong botanical gardens. Loved it

Breathtaking views, elegant accommodations, special inclusions as a surprise including breakfast at the ranges on olinda. A host that respects your privacy and is very accommodating and courteous. After being in months of lockdown this was the perfect place for my husband and i to have some time alone ro reconnect. Will be back

Amazing secluded location only a few minutes walk from the centre of Olinda.
Stayed in the one of the 3 guesthouses, nestled amongst the trees. Well appointed, contemporary fitout and centrally heated. Also enjoyed the fire on the cold nights. Service was quick, helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.
