About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Botanica Retreat - Sweet cabin with vintage furnishings, in gorgeous gardens overlooking magnolias and rhododendrons.

Botanica Retreat is a delightful retreat for two, encircled by beautiful mature gardens and specimen trees, with a wrap-around verandah on 3 sides and sunset glimpses from the deck, lots of windows to let in the northerly light and heating and cooling for year-round comfort.

Sit in the morning sun with a coffee, or wait till the afternoon and enjoy a sundowner on the verandah while watching and listening to the birdlife and soaking up the refreshing greenery of the gardens. You'll also find some amenities in the bathroom and goodies in the pantry and fridge for your stay.

A deep soaking spa bath (coming March 2023) with privacy glass overlooking the gardens, vintage leather sofas, dining setting, full kitchen, euro laundry with washing machine and walking distance (1minute!) to the Olinda village full of boutique shops, cafes, galleries and restaurants completes what will be a relaxing getaway.

And there's Wifi for you of course if you must! (Do note that internet and phone reception in the Dandenong Ranges can be unstable and please understand we have no control over that. If you rely on wifi please bring a backup modem).

Cute cabin, great location!
The cabin was right in the centre of town, 2 mins walk to the pubs and shops and right next to the botanical gardens. Fully stocked pantry which was a nice touch! It's perfect for a short stay, lots to explore in the area and surrounding towns.
