Location was excellent. Setting was very nice. Cottage was charming, but with a stylish, modern twist. We made use of the cast iron fire place, which created a cosy atmosphere. Had our little dog with us. We loved it.

I don’t normally write reviews, but I must compliment Jing on your property.
We were absolutely delighted with the Blue and White House. All breakfast provisions were generously supplied, just a short stroll from the main part of Olinda Set in lovely tranquil gardens surrounded by rainforest.
It was perfect for our visit for a family wedding, and I’ll definitely be recommending it :)

We loved the shops in Olinda and Sassafras just down the road. Easy walking, sitting in the sun at Dudley’s having a wine was relaxing.The trees and the beautiful Dandenong botanical gardens were amazing. It is like a little haven just out of Melbourne, all the people working in shops are so friendly it is just such an awesome little town.
Because it is so incredible it is getting really busy on weekends.

The townships of Sassafras and Olinda offer many quirky and artistic shopping and dining experiences. Alternatively you can have a typical aussie bush experience. The many massive gardens in the area are a must. The Alfred Nicholas Gardens are great any time and the Botanic gardens rhododendrens are sensational in season. The area along the Tourist road and out to Kallista is beautiful.
I highly recommend a visit to this area.

The place was picked by the photos and they were out if date . The spa wasn't the same as the picture. And my wife is a invalid so the spa was very difficult to use for her as the height was very dangerous. It clearly isn't the photo which was advertised. Also there was no area for standing outside if it rained no cover at all. Also very noisy being down stairs can hear constant noises. The breakfast was good and the place is warm. It's clean but it's less then the pictures are discibing .

At first they seemed nice, but when we walked into the back in a dark (what seemed to be a garage or something, messy paper work everywhere) we just brushed it off and we regret not looking at the place before paying the remaining money.
When she showed us around she pointed out all the faulty appliances that we shouldn't be using, she asked my husband if he was a handyman and how she gets some of her guest to help her 'fix' the place up. Even if my husband is a handyman we are on our anniversary getaway, we came there to relax not work.
The handle of the sliding door (which is basically your main entrance) is broken and anyone can break in literally with a ruler, no security at all.
When we saw the bathroom she told us that she took 3 light bulbs out and only left us with 1, when we asked why she replied "because guest leave the lights on when they go out".
It was so dusty and dirty, when we rocked up the towels were on the oil heater cause they weren't dried and ready for us, the towel rack broke while she was showing us around. The bed sheets didn't look clean nor did they smell clean, we saw some bed bugs on the bed and this put us off straight away.
We booked the Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath, there was no balcony or mountain view for us. I believe that as guest we deserve to have a clean, comfortable and secure environment to stay in especially when we are paying $320 a night.
We didn't end up staying at any of the 2 nights that we booked, We were so disappointed and outraged so we just went back home.
We did call and try to compromise to get half our money back but they didn't return any of our calls or messages
Absolutely the worst way to end our anniversary getaway!!!!

Couldn't visit gardens or national parks - most closed due to damage from wild weather - however, normally these are lovely to visit.
The villages along the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road can get quite crowded on weekends, so if you can visit during the week, it will be more peaceful.
there are plenty of food options around, including some good 'country pubs'.
We had such a lovely stay at Woolrich gardens retreat. Growing up spending holidays at my grandparents place in the Dandenongs, this brought back so many precious and beautiful memories. I loved the super comfy beds, the gorgeous retro decor, the views, the beautiful gardens, and the wonderful location being attached to Cloudehill gardens. The kitchen had all the mod cons and was fit out beautifully. It was great to have ducted heating throughout. The large flat screen TV was a bonus.
The cottage is in a great location near all the sites. It is spacious, cosy and beautifully decorated and Jasna is so generous and thoughtful. It is a beautiful home away from home with a stunning garden. We stayed in winter but it warm and cosy. Leaving we felt revitalised from our stay. Olinda Studio Getaway is one of the best places we have stayed at in all our years of travelling and is definitely 5 star.
Wow! Such a relaxing stay. Cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and cosy. Hot tub was just the laid back luxury we needed. Location is ideal, walking distance to shops, restaurants, beautiful gardens and hiking tracks. Staff are friendly and thoughtful. We'll definitely be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, as it's immersed in a beautiful natural environment. It was wonderful to have peace, ( absolute) and listen to the wildlife around us
Loved the fresh bakery bread delivered to our door. Such a thoughtful surprise.
Staff is very nice. Bed is absolutely comfy. Love the themed room, it is quaint and felt the old fashioned vibe. It is perfectly located right across the places we wish to visit in Olinda. The tub is the highlight of our stay.
This is the second time my lady and I have stayed at the rocky creek B and B. It's our favourite place to visit. The fire the space the forest and the householders that welcomed us to the place. Very welcoming and homely.
The cottage was perfect. Lots of nice, personal touches and the cottage afforded a great deal of privacy. We walked into Olinda for dinner easily and it was a great starting point to explore the beautiful surroundings.
The Olinda area is beautiful. The cottage is filled with high quality furniture and appliances and is very comfortable to live in. It felt like home. The welcome pack was appreciated after along journey.
The house is really lovely. I came with my daughter and family friends for a weekend. Clean, close to main areas of olinda, tucked away, greeted by wildlife... it was magic
Betty was warm and helpful, the place was spacious, luxurious and clean. Amazing views from the balcony and so much food and drink provided! Would definitely go back!
Wonderful cosy space with an incredible view of lush green gardens wherever you looked. Felt very private and the couch and bed were both really comfortable.
