Dingleigh of Sassafras Studio

Nestled between ferns and maples and flanked by natural waterways, Dingleigh captures the very essence of the Dandenong Ranges. Two luxury, character-filled cottages surrounded by stunning century-old gardens, offers guests an opportunity to relax and unwind. Its central location to the local towns of the Dandenong Ranges means places to shop, eat and explore are all within easy access.

Steeped in history, Dingleigh was originally settled in the 1880s and was once a centre of literary congregation for the Hills community. Each of the character filled cottages looks out onto beautiful garden surrounds, and includes luxury bed linen and towels, with warm cozy fires. The exquisite furnishings of Dingleigh provide the perfect backdrop for preparations for your next special occasion.

The ‘Writer’s Studio’ is a one-room retreat in the centre of the Dingleigh gardens. The antique writer’s desk looks onto the stone-paved gardens and water features. The studio includes one queen-sized bed with an original open fireplace, plus tea and coffee-making facilities with a small fridge. A shower bathroom with underfloor heating, plus central heating, ensures guests are comfortable through the winter months. For the warmer months, the studio is nestled underneath 100 year old maples and cooled with a ceiling fan. The outdoor area includes beautiful garden water features and a seating area.

Please note due to the many water features on the property, Dingleigh is not suitable for children aged 5 years or under.
