Enter a magical Moroccan retreat hidden in the enchanting Dandenong Ranges—a true Ali-Baba cavern. This vibrant studio blends cultures and traditions, perfect for a solo or couple’s escape. Immerse yourself in its colourful bohemian charm, surrounded by handpicked, one-of-a-kind décor.

Play chess on an Iranian board, sleep beneath a canopy of hand-embroidered Mongolian rugs, sip mint tea from Moroccan glasses in the large garden, or lose yourself in the pages of Rûmî and 1001 Nights after a day of forest adventures.

A soulful, one-of-a-kind curated inclusive retreat where every detail whispers enchantment.

The studio is completely self-contained and the room above is vacant at night for your privacy.

Additional Information

Booking for 1-2 guests, you will enjoy a self contained studio at the ground level of the house with a separate entry, sunroom (doubling as a bedroom with single foldable bed), living/bedroom, kitchen, bathroom with a shower and onsite parking.

On top of your space, you can use the large beautiful garden that have several sitting spots. There are two on-site options for parking depending on your car (4WD, EV) - contact me to help direct you to the right spot.

🛌 Sleeping arrangements tailored for comfort:

🧑🏻👩🏽 1-2 guests: 1001 Nights studio queen bed. The Cockatoo Express will be blocked from other bookings - use it as a cozy daytime nook or a workspace. If you would like two separate sleeping arrangements for two guests, please let us know during your booking.

🧑🏻👩🏼👩🏽 3 guests: The above plus an additional single bed in the Cockatoo Express tiny house. It is a few steps from the Moroccan studio, this cozy space is set up like a vintage sleeper train and has a single bed. It has no bathroom so the guest staying there would come to 1001 Nights Hideaway to use facilities.

🧑🏻👩🏼👩🏽👨 4 guests: In addition to the above, a comfy fold-out bed will be prepared in the sunroom at the entrance of 1001 Nights (ideal for a child or an extra adult guest). Please add $40 extra for bedding handling and washing.

Luxury cotton linen and towels are provided, as well as 5 star hotel pillows and wool doona. Kitchen staples are also provided (tea, coffee, biscuits, rice, oats, olive oil, vinegar, spices, vegetable milks and more).

Please kindly note there is no TV on the property as it’s a great place to disconnect and be in nature. If however you wish to watch movies, I recommend you download your preferred movies on your laptop before your stay. Fast internet is also available during your stay.

Busy hardworking bees also live in the garden in several beehives and you will appreciate the divine nectar smell next to the hives in warm months.

🏡 You’ll have exclusive access to two unique accommodations in one - the 1001 Nights studio and the Cockatoo Express tiny house - as well as your own half-acre private garden that feels like a forest. Just you, your loved one(s), and nature.

🌿 Whether you're cozying up in the sunroom, lounging under trees in one of many secret garden nooks, or stargazing in silence, this sanctuary invites you to truly disconnect. You will find in the bathroom the Moroccan Argan oil for your hair and massage oil for a luxurious self-care ritual or a sensual experience to share.

🧒The space is child-friendly with fascinating toys, puppets, pup-up books, colouring and games, all Arabian nights themed (Aladdin and more)! A cot is available for additional cost.

I feel deeply grateful to be a custodian of this beautiful healing space and to open it to others. Alongside holding master’s degrees in languages and multimedia, I am currently pursuing a diploma in counselling with the intention of helping ease suffering in the world. I have a deep appreciation for nature, music, and language learning and teaching, as well as a love for colourful ethnic textiles I use in upholstery. My personal passions also include meditation, learning and teaching languages (French Immersion retreat is available!), restoring mid-century and antique furniture, and supporting others in discovering greater meaning and purpose in their lives.
