Accommodation in the Dandenongs
Dandenong Ranges, Victoria, Australia

 

Luxury cottages and bed and breakfast accommodation for the perfect romantic getaway in the heart of the Dandenongs.

The following selection of hosted and self-contained accommodation includes fabulous bed and breakfasts and private cottages where you can escape to an enchanted world.

Victoria's Dandenong Ranges, around an hour's drive from Melbourne, share a quite unique English tradition with positively beautiful native forest environs. The tall mountain ash and charming fern gullies, streams and waterfalls, and towering copses of tree ferns, represent some of Victoria's most loved and accessible forest scenery and walks. Well known Sherbrook Forest is one of smaller forests where the Puffing Billy tourist steam train begins its journey. Emerald Lake is a popular picnic spot. The Dandenongs is also renown for its English gardenscapes. In Autumn the deciduous European trees provide a glorious specatcle, while in spring the National Rhododendron gardens are a dazzle of massed bloom and the famous tulip farm attracts thousands of visitors to see the fields of tulips and partake in the festivities. The English association is carried through to restaurants and tea houses as well as accommodation styles and themes.
