We stayed in the loft it was really peaceful because we were the only ones really there over the weekend the bed was really comfy
I got fall on attack by mozzies and during the night you will hear bugs buzzing in your ear and my boyfriend killed about 15 mozzies and the frypans were terrible the food just kept sticking to it

So peaceful, gorgeous views and cozy. Extremely considerate hosts with the food, drink and entertainment provided.
There is a distinct lack of signage specific to the coorabella suite, we parked out the front of it due to the message we received in the morning, however when we walked to visit skyhigh we couldn't see any indicators to reception or that you could cut through, so we walked around. On way back we walked up the entrance on observatory rd to arnica, found reception but it still lacked signage. Not a huge issue, but could very easily be improved.

The location was perfect. Close enough to the cute little townships that we wanted to visit and far enough away that we felt secluded to enjoy our own privacy. I really enjoyed the stay and felt the place was perfect for what we wanted and the attention to detail in the room before we arrived was fantastic and we really appreciated the extra little efforts and appointments around the apartment.
I don't believe there was anything I didn't like.

Our hosts were exceptionally accommodating, facilitating early check-in and providing vegan breakfast. Communication was excellent. The location is superb, just walking distance from SkyHigh in a stunning, quiet, private spot surrounded by birds, trees, panoramic views of city below. The cottage interior was very charming with quality facilities, antique furniture, mod cons, thoughtful touches and extras. We had a great sleep and enjoyed lolling about in the spa and dining room or feeding the birds outside. The telescope was a particular bonus on a full moon weekend. Couldn't have asked for more. Especially appreciated the attention to detail, cleanliness and thought put into providing all the creature comforts. We highly recommend this property and its hosts.

The property is great, like the big windows and the birds coming to look for being fed. The facilities in the property were good, but if the wored frypans can be changed, it will be great. Overall, it's a good stay.
A confused sign on one of the room said " additional charge will be applied if using it, which didnot match the info from Booking. Sorted it out with the owner very quickly. In the end of the day, we didn't use it at all, as the bed in the main room is big enough for my wife, me and our 10 months old baby.

Spacious. Romantic. Candles were provided also. Breakfast provisions supplied Bed was comfy. I loved listening to the rain on the roof at night. We both loved the spa despite not being able to get it working. Peaceful and relaxing
The lounge really needs a better couch. Not 2 separate little seats. The loft would have been perfect if it had a wood fireplace not a gas one ( my opinion) The hot water was really hit and miss. Took ages in the bathroom sink and one morning I was in the shower for not even a minute and it went freezing.

Wonderful, isolated, cosy barn in the forest at the top of Mount Dandenong. We watched the Olympics from our spa bath. Cooked on the rustic kitchen stove. You can hike through Mount Dandenong from Sky high to the village and back in approx 3 hours. We will be back next time in Autumn to see the colourful leaves.

Gorgeous location, lovely to have birds visiting our doorstep. We stayed in The Barn - it felt comfortable and welcoming with charming character - I’d be happy to stay again!
A salt shaker and pepper grinder rather than little packets would be nice.

The location was amazing, very beautiful gardens entry to the cottage with a pathway. It was a good size cottage for the two of us, bed very comfortable and looked amazing. The breakfast items was a great idea though I would remove the fruitloops and nutrigrain options for more healthy options.
The room was freezing when we arrived so we had to close the windows and place heater on. No communication was given as it was mentioned in the email that we would receive a text message with pin. I emailed asking which they responded but this is something I shouldn't have to do!
