Celebrate your special occasion at Gumleaf Bed & Breakfast. In fact you don’t even need a special occasion to enjoy a romantic escape. After a leisurely walk in the nearby forest, or a detour to the famous Lookout for that extraordinary view of Melbourne silhouetted against the sunset, you’ll be set for a long relaxing spa and an evening by the fire.

Find clean, eucalypt-scented air …a natural setting …frolicking birds … and time to unwind in your own private suite at Gumleaf Bed & Breakfast on top of Mt Dandenong.

A spa, with showerhead, has been incorporated into the room, positioned in a large dormer (attic) window recess. The bedroom also opens onto a balcony perched at tree canopy height.

Each suite is individually decorated; the rear Country Suite in warm floral prints, light timbers and country furniture, and the front Antique Suite boasts more elegant, antique furniture and crystal glassware.
