Situated in an old nursery amongst the forest of old exotic trees on 2 acres of garden, Hansel, Gretel and Woodlands offer an escape unparalled just a short distance from Melbourne.

The 3 spacious 2 story swiss style cottages are set well apart from each other that give a feeling of being remote in the world. Walk to shops, galleries, restaurants, local pub, forest walks, national parks, gardens and a golf course.

Tour to the wineries of the Yarra Valley or spend an afternoon at Puffing Billy railway. Visit the reservoirs and Warburton Ranges - all are close by...

Each luxury cottage has stunning garden views from every window, double spa overlooking the tree tops, open log fire, queen size bed, ducted heating, CD, TV, Video, DVD, hairdryer.There is a fully equiped kitchen with breakfast ingredients provided - hide and enjoy your meal on the balcony while feeding the parrots or sit by the pond and watch the wildlife or listen to the frogs at dusk.

Catch a glimpse of the Lyrebirds or wombats as you roam the garden or bump into the wild wallabies as they feast in the violet patch.

After a day exploring the many attractions of the Dandenongs relax in the double spa or sit by the open fire while enjoying a glass of wine or plunger coffee.

Spring - is a time to enjoy the daffodils and massed rhododendrons or play a round of golf just 5 minutes walk away...

Summer - enjoy the cool shade of the spreading chestnut trees - it's always 5 degrees cooler than Melbourne!

Autumn - enjoy the colours as the deciduous trees begin to ready for winter in the warm balmy days...

Or site by the open log fire in winter and watch the snow drift over the fir trees outside - or flick a switch for ducted heating and enjoy the complimentary chocolates, plunger coffee or selected teas...
