We stayed at the Stables cottage in Clarendon Cottages. I have been staying at the Dandenong Ranges for 20 years but I was extremely impressed with this place. Visually just gorgeous - attention to detail - and every effort made for a comfortable stay. The Stables is a twin bedroom cottage - with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Our night included breakfast and our own private garden, cupboard with toys and games and even a decanter of port with glasses!! Just wow!! I will not hesitate to rebook here

Our overnight stay in the beautiful cottage was an absolute pleasure. So very clean, such attention to detail, and all the little goodies with loving touches made for a beautiful experience. Sorry we used all the bird food 😂 but there were so many to feed lol. Absolutely recommend Clarendon Cottages and I can’t wait to return. Thank you for a lovely night xx
