Well, what a beautiful place to stay. We were welcomed in by Mark who gave us a tour of the accommodation and beautiful garden and surroundings plus some recommendations of places to eat and drink. He... even provided us with a beautiful freshly made loaf and preserves for breakfast which was a gorgeous touch. The actual accomo was beautiful with unreal views. Perfect location, so close to lots of amazing hikes and beautiful little villages. Would absolutely stay here again, couldn’t fault!

We had such a wonderful stay with Mark and Leenah. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and thoughtful hosts, and made us feel special from the moment we arrived.
The retreat itself is absolutely st...unning, the garden is beautiful and the views are just breathtaking. It’s such a peaceful place to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was the incredible food they prepared using fresh ingredients straight from the garden. Everything was delicious, and their recommendations for things to do and see in the area were outstanding and made our stay even more special.
And we also had the best strawberries we’ve ever tasted!
Thank you again, Mark and Leenah, for such a memorable stay. We would absolutely love to come back.

I was there to be away from the city for my 50th with my daughter. Both Leenaah and Mark have built a beautiful place. And more than that they are such beautiful souls and hosts. We were not just looked after well, we were spoilt ❤️

We stopped in Emerald for a quick coffee.
Puffing Billy
The journey aboard Puffing Billy takes you through the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, located only one hour east of Melbourne.
With lush fern gullies brushing past and Mountain Ash trees towering overhead, Puffing Billy makes for a wonderful opportunity to relax and breathe in the fresh air whilst the train makes its way through the temperate rainforest.

Earthly Pleasures
A great place to stop and enjoy a coffee in the sunshine in a beautiful outdoor setting just in the heart of town.
Sherbrooke Falls
Enjoy this peaceful walk to Sherbrooke Falls, and find a new favourite escape for walks and picnics. Start at the beginning of the track near the main entrance on Sherbrooke Road, and wind past rough and smooth tree ferns. Along the way you'll see the region's finest sassafras and mountain ash, some of them up to 200 years old.

Under the management of Parks Victoria, Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden is the original garden of the historic Burnham Beeches estate and is renowned for its extensive water features and landscaped gardens. Access to the gardens is just a short stroll down the road from the lodge.
