About this property

Entire place

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

Franklin Cottage - This country cottage offers fresh, Hamptons style decorations in luxuriously appointed cottage.

The front veranda welcomes you into the open plan living room with a wood burning fire (and airconditioning).
Push back the Plantation shutters for views to the garden and pony paddock - you'll know you are really on holiday!
The king size bed is adjacent to the living room and can be closed off by sliding plantation doors if you choose - or simply enjoy the space and light and views out the windows.

A beautiful bathroom offers you an indulgent deep slipper bath, a walk in shower and beautiful window - again with Plantation shutters you can open up the windows and your loved one can pass you a glass of bubbly while you loll in the bath! Perfect!

The hallway hides a full laundry ready for you if required and this leads you into the beautifully equipped kitchen with a built in bench seat, lovely dining table, and full cooking facilities, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine too. From here you can also wander onto the back veranda where chairs are placed for you to enjoy your time in the morning sun sipping your coffee.

Total peace and privacy - absolutely. You will love this country cottage - and only 5 minutes from Sassafras village and all the lovely walks of the Dandenongs.

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).

Please see www.cfa.vic.gov.au/home If there is no wood and kindling provided at your property, it will be because of this policy.
