Incredible Views & Perfectly Cosy

My mother and I stayed here for a couple of nights and it was a blissful experience. So perfectly positioned close to villages and bush walks and the views from the house are breathtaking. Lots of homely touches at the historic cottage. David was an incredibly kind and responsive host and there were lost

The property had a wonderful view from the gorgeous large windows. The spa was magnificent. Unfortunately the wood that was provided (not many at all, so be prepared) did not light up and there were no fire starters (even in the cupboard where it mentioned there would be some). We had to go and purchase all our wood and fire starters. All other properties that we have stayed in provided all of these. The property really needs a good clean from dust and cobwebs inside. Hair was found in the shower and fridge.

Quiet retreat with breathtaking views

From the owners thoughtful communication prior to arrival to walking in the front door, every comfort is catered for. We arrived on a chilly day to a toasty warm cottage. Clear instructions were provided to use the heating, cooling, spa, finding extra towels etc. No guess work was required and meant we could settle in right away. The view is truly breathtaking, especially after dark. The bed linen and towels were top quality. The spa and shower are absolute highlights. We will be back again.

PERFECT DREAM RELAXING HOLIDAY

Magnificent view over horses in the front paddock, reservoir & Port Phillip Bay in the distance, through picture windows that extend the entire house, even in the bathroom that has a two person spa. Loved the central gas heating and the sound of the Puffing Billy echoing down the valley. Location is central to the Dandenong Ranges, so it is easy to drive through magical fern-filled forests to wonderful little villages with great cafes, coffee, food & interesting shops.

Beautiful heritage cottage with stunning views from picture windows and furnished true to the era with very comfortable beds & furnishings. Unfortunately, the second bathroom was not clean, with dirty floor, basin & cobwebs spoiling the overall positive impression of the home. Clients of average height will struggle to reach bath towels on lovely train racks which are attached very high on the wall in both bathrooms! However, overall it was a lovely place to stay, with the added advantage of being dog friendly.

What a view!!

We stayed at Tudor Ridge for a week and were sorry to leave. We had a wonderful holiday in the Dandenongs and David's cottage was a pleasure to come home to every day. It has such character and the view is just delightful. We could have gazed at it all day. Hope to be back one day. Janet & Alan, Perth.

Lovely outlook and private

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kallista and the gorgeous views. Our dog was obsessed with watching the horses out the window and sniffing around the grounds. The cottage is very cute, cosy and with 3 sources of heating it was perfect during the very miserable weather we had. The bed was comfortable, the double shower and spa made it feel like a real treat. We could have used a bit more firewood (which was supplied when we asked) and kindling (realised this was needed a bit too late) for the second night. Would recommend this place!
