Franklin Cottage - This country cottage offers fresh, Hamptons style decorations in luxuriously appointed cottage.

The front veranda welcomes you into the open plan living room with a wood burning fire (and airconditioning).
Push back the Plantation shutters for views to the garden and pony paddock - you'll know you are really on holiday!
The king size bed is adjacent to the living room and can be closed off by sliding plantation doors if you choose - or simply enjoy the space and light and views out the windows.

A beautiful bathroom offers you an indulgent deep slipper bath, a walk in shower and beautiful window - again with Plantation shutters you can open up the windows and your loved one can pass you a glass of bubbly while you loll in the bath! Perfect!

The hallway hides a full laundry ready for you if required and this leads you into the beautifully equipped kitchen with a built in bench seat, lovely dining table, and full cooking facilities, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine too. From here you can also wander onto the back veranda where chairs are placed for you to enjoy your time in the morning sun sipping your coffee.

Gorgeous cottage in magnificent garden, complete with pony !!
We have been in Australia for 2 months, and this is far and away our favorite stay. It was SO comfortable, so well equipped (even luxurious), and smack in the middle of the other-worldly Dandenong forest. Would come back every time - and Manager was totally responsive and always helpful and kind. I would give it 12 gold stars !!

Beautiful cottage getaway!
I surprised my partner with a getaway to Olinda, and we both absolutely loved our stay! The cottage we stayed in had everything — wifi, fully-equipped kitchen, fireplace, heating. It was so beautifully decorated as well, and very comfortable to snuggle up in during the rainy hours. The town was also a short drive away, and we managed to see a lot of the area during our stay. The host was very hospitable, left a lovely gift basket for us. We hope to be back in the future!

Perfect Quiet Getaway for Couples
If you’re looking for a quiet retreat, this is the perfect place to be. Beautiful property and located in between everything. The ponies add to the charm of the location. Absolutely magical with the autumn leaves falling. Would definitely come back and recommend to everyone we know!!
