We loved our 3 night stay at Billabong Falls. It was central to all the beautiful villages in the Dandenong Ranges. As the property is nestled in amongst the trees you feel like you are escaping the r...est of the world.
Our 3 year old son was very Impressed with the waterfall pool. Although it was wayyy to cold for me to get in.
