Such a cosy stay for me and my daughter in the Doveton Suite. Extra touches made it lovely, especially the bird seed and feeders outside which attracted a whole host of bird friends. We loved it.

We enjoyed our stay at Clarendon Cottages ,it was clean comfortable and quiet.The only comment I would make is that you should be aware that there is no sink/running water in the little kitchenette area . This is not to say that it was listed as an inclusion (ie we were not expecting it ) however for premium accommodation it was missed and something that others may want to be aware of prior to booking , especially for multi day stays.

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
