We had a wedding to attend and stayed in the charmed cabin at lotus lodge . A tiny space done really well.If you are out and about a great little gem. The steps down to the cabin from the carpark could be a bit of a hazard for some people the same off the small back deck. If you are sure footed no problem. Very reasonably priced and a little gem.

Serenity in the forest
Beautiful serene area. All facilities were enough. Nice glass of fortified wine for a late night tipple. Sofa bed needs to be repaired before being used again. Lovely area to explore.

Comfortable and quiet. Finding the cabin with the keypad took time because of the numbering 1 and 1a, 1a coming before the main residence No 1 (which has a keypad on the gate). It would help if the name of the cabin were tastefully displayed at the entrance.

Liked: Cleanliness
The accommodation was quaint and extremely clean. The location was difficult to locate as the main road had no signage. If you had GPS this probably wouldn't be an issue. Parking was a major problem as it was extremely tight. If you had a car smaller than a Commodore then this would not be an issue. If all you require is a comfy bed in a quiet area with no frills then this is the place for you.

Didn't stay.
Can't say a lot as we didn't stay. It sure didn't meet any expectations, it's basically a shed with a bed and bathroom. My wife refused to stay here so we booked elsewhere. Not satisfied.

Cosy cottage in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges
Had a lovely weekend stay in the Charmed Cabin cottage, was lovely when I got there that the outside and inside lights were on (dimmed) and had lovely soft jazz music playing which I thought was pretty cool. Had a slight hiccup with me not being able to receive email they tried to send me to get door code & map (especially for where/how to park) from YRA staff who look after the accommodation - but the person was texting me (as communication is by text or email only) was helpful, patient (I don't know what your name is who I was communicating with but thanks for all your help) I love that it's private secluded and quiet as I really needed to get away to relax and unwind after a very hectic week - I felt very refreshed after my stay there and would highly recommend staying at Lotus Lodges.

Cottage in the dandenongs.
It's very quaint but not worth the amount of money. Parking was difficult to get into and out of. Front door and lock is in need of repair. I fell down the steps into the kitchen. Very narrow little steps. The supporting beam in the middle of the lounge area needs to be painted in a brighter colour so you can see it and not walk into it. A few more blankets in the winter would be good. It was very cold at night. Overall, I felt the cottage was definitely overpriced.

Really nice position up in The Dandenongs.
Very good, secluded position, so close to all the villages, gardens, lookouts, shops ... also so green and cool. Very easy drive down to the railway station if you wanted to go into the city by train. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay, but the glass windows / doors could do with a clean. Suggestion: a secure fly screen on the balcony door would be a great idea, as you could then leave it open .....
