Sunrise Cottage is part of the "Mont du Soleil" Estate and is situated in Emerald, in the heart of the beautiful Dandenongs. This is a truly unique property inspired by the buildings and grounds of Provence & Tuscany.

You’ll love the unique design and ambience of the property, the stunning views, the peace and tranquillity (located on 40-acre estate), centrally located in the beautiful Dandenongs; yet less than an hour by car from Melbourne CBD.

Visitors always comment on the amazing ambience of the property, unique architecture combined with outstanding scenery and views. As well as the abundant bird life (parrot's, corella's etc); there are domesticated animals on the property, (horses, alpacas, sheep, geese and cattle).

Whilst you will benefit from the peace and tranquillity of staying on a 40-acre (16Ha) property, your hosts Liz and Robert reside in the main house on the property, so you can be comforted from knowing that the Estate is constantly occupied.

Sunrise Cottage was featured on December 2024 Christmas special episode of Neighbours.

Photoshoots are NOT allowed in the Cottage, but we do host on the property. Please contact montdusoleil.com for details.

Additional Information

COTTAGE DETAILS
Sunrise Cottage is a self-contained cottage with a private terrace, sitting high on a hill providing breathtaking views of the Yarra Valley & Warburton Ranges, plus panoramic views of the estate. The property also features a fern-lined creek and outstanding remnant bush-land, including bountiful bird-life and beautiful Mountain Ash trees.

Whilst you will benefit from the peace and tranquillity of staying on a 40-acre (16 Ha) property, your hosts Liz and Robert reside in the main house on the property, so you can be comforted from knowing that the Estate is constantly occupied.

We provide "light" breakfast ingredients i.e. range of cereals, fresh bread and jam, lite (low fat) milk and beverages: tea, coffee and chocolate.

Kitchen has two induction cook-tops, combo microwave/oven, rice cooker, fridge; plus a wide range of cooking utensils.

(Please note that the Cottage and surrounding property is not suitable for children and we therefore only take bookings for 1-2 adults.)

There are many things to do in the area including: walks and rides, wineries, cafes & restaurants and beautiful gardens.

There are National Parks to visit (Dandenong Ranges National Park is only 15 mins away) and numerous walks/bike trails to go on. In fact one walking trail is located literally 40 metres from your cottage (adjoins estate boundary). Details of walks are provided in your cottage.

Puffing Bill historic steam train line operates from Emerald, be sure to book ahead.

This is the third property we have developed as owner builders. The property has been inspired by renowned owner built buildings such as Montsalvat in Eltham as well as Provencal and Tuscan architecture and gardens. The buildings have been built almost entirely from recycled materials to deliver a timeless quality. Liz is an artist and Robert has an engineering background and have combined their skills to build a uniquely designed environment. Sunrise Cottage and the other buildings on the 40 acre property face due North and hence have sunny aspects; plus outstanding views of the Warburton Valley set in the beautiful Dandenongs, (only an hour from Melbourne CBD). The property features a wide variety of bird-life plus domestic animals such as Horses, Alpacas, Geese and Cattle. All of these delivers a truly unique holiday experience for guests.
