We loved Ali's place! It's a beautiful & unique home in a fantastic location, absolutely perfect! One night is not long enough - we will be back! Cannot recommend highly enough!

From the moment we walked in we felt at home. Such a beautiful and immaculate home. Thank you for all your help, for the brekky and condiments ... Just wish we had longer there. Thank you again and a definite 10/10

My partner and I loved our stay at Aurora, couldn't have picked a better place to escape the city and wind down. Ali and her partner really go the extra mile to make sure you get every penny's worth in this beautiful cottage. From the cheeky cheese platter to the unlimited internet. We'll be back! Lia and Kain X

An incredibly beautiful location and gorgeous house. Thanks for having us

Ali was an amazing host, very accomodating and easily contactable at any time! Ali's home is absolutely beautiful, and the pictures do not do it justice! The scenery is beautiful, it's a great place for a getaway! The home is very clean and beautiful! Ali provided us with fresh eggs and bacon and a beautiful cheese platter for our arrival! Will definitely be back!

Beautiful cottage, the photos don't do it justice. So peaceful and relaxing, everything in the house is either beautiful, comfortable or warm!

This is the most beautiful and gorgeous house I've ever stayed in!!!! Photos don't even do it justice!! The views are breathtaking, the cinema is AMAZING! The decor in the house is stunning, we loved every minute of our stay here!!!! Not a lot to do nearby but that's exactly what we wanted! A peaceful, quiet, relaxing weekend away ❤️ Ali is a wonderful host who always communicated quickly and was very accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here! I can't wait to come back again

This place is the perfect getaway. I'd recommend it to everyone but then perhaps it would be booked out all year round and we wouldn't get a chance to come back! Ali is an attentive, wonderful host who thought of everything and made our stay a happy memory.

I organised a Bucks weekend and Kinglake Homestead was a real hit. We spent the majority of our time down by the BBQ and bonfire area. There were 12 of us but between the two house you could easily sleep double that!

A great location with lots of space. Would stay again for sure.

Beautiful location, about an hour and a half's drive from Melbourne. Extremely well maintained, clean and cosy place. Steve is an excellent host and made sure our stay was memorable. The camp fire at night with endless stars in the sky, the canoeing and horse riding helped us all unwind. will definitely be going back!

the Kinglake homestead is a perfect place for a little country getaway. The property is huge and beautiful. my friends and i spent new years eve down there and it was the perfect place for it. great bbq & sitting area. The dam is also great for a swim. the houses were cosy and the beds comfy. Would stay again.

Steve's beautiful and secluded property set amongst the eucalypts provided the perfect location for my partners 30th birthday. The number of beds was perfect, and we were able to have extra people pitch some tents. Steve also provided the spit for us to cook our meat on, which was amazing. Steve was very approachable and hospitable. We will definitely be back for another party soon! Thanks Steve.

My friends and I chose the perfect place for a weekend getaway before we started uni again. We knew that as soon as we were greeted with Rosellas on the balcony. Chara and Steve were amazingly helpful and providing, whether it be to feed the beautiful horses on site or to assist us with the provision of firewood for our spit-roast lamb. The site is fantastic, and while we went during quite a cold and dreary time, I can imagine that during the summer, full use of the canoeing facilities and exploration of the massive grounds would be amazing fun. Also, our getaway involved lots of cooking and I must wholeheartedly recommend the facilities available here. The cookware is a little lacking, but the stove top with a wide variety of burners and the *massive* sinks made for an effortless cooking experience, even for a group of 15. Overall, we had an amazing time, and will definitely endeavour to return.

Absolutely stunning location... very beautiful property! Had a bucks night there with 10 mates. Loved the massive fire pit.

Kinglake Homestead was perfect for my best mates bucks weekend away! What a beautiful property, great setup with everything we could possibly need. Steve and Chara were great hosts. More than enough beds, the Muster Room with bar was perfect as a general hangout and the rotunda and outoor camp fire area was perfect to sit around as the lamb spit rotated! (Thanks for letting us use your awesome spit Steve, you're a life saver!) Thanks to Chara and Steve for a fantastic weekend. Cheers!

A surprising little place on the hill, beautiful rolling hills, the sunrise is divine!! A fabulous little getaway and throw back to the good things in life! Would highly recommend :-)

Great spot to relax, unplug and unwind. Very cute cottage and outlook - very homey feel. Thanks Bron for a lovely weekender!

Nicely located cottage, quiet with relaxing views ... well maintained! Communication with Bron was great and she was an accomodating host... we enjoyed our stay

We had a fabulous weekend away at the Stone House. It was a lovely home of which a lot of attention to detail had been made by the host Bron. From freshly cut flowers, wood already laid out in the fireplace, to organic cleaning products. The house was bigger than they seemed in the photos and was really cosy with beautiful decor and lovely views from every window. The kitchen was fabulously appointed with every utensil available. We enjoyed trail running and bike riding in the area. Thanks!

Bron was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She helped us out with an extremely late check-in and accessing her property was a breeze.

Anna made us very welcome and mentioned some good local places to eat, the pub was great, went there twice. The accomodation was nice and cosy and warm even though it was stormy at night. Our 7 yo boy and dog loved it too. It was nice to be out close to bushland and the national park but have a warm dry place to come home to during the wet spring break. We were left to our own devices but owners were contactable if we needed them and keeped our wood supply stacked, which was great. Anna had lit a fire before our arrival to ensure the place was warm when we arrived. There was a TV n DVD n video player but we didn't use them.

Lovely location and everything you need in this mini house/studio. Comfortable and surprisingly warm even though it was cold and raining while we visited.

A great little space which was perfect for our Easter long weekend getaway :-)

We had a lovely time! Thanks so much for having us. Everything was perfect!

Anna was a great host to organise with, and this accommodation was ideal for our short cycling stay during the Herald Sun Tour.

Quick responses and all super easy from our lovely host Anna throughout. The place is located in their garden but we definitely didnt feel overlooked and was never disturbed at all. Inside is really cute with all the basics you need. Was a chilly night outside but the log fire and blankets kept us nice and cosy.

Such a lovely place to chill out & access the wondrous green surrounds of King Lake & beyond. The fireplace created such a cosy ambiance, and what comfy bed & pillows. We enjoyed cooking on the potable gas cook top, made it feel like "glamping". Anna and family were welcoming, everything done & all organised for our arrival. Good communication & planning too. Only issue was little phone signal in the cottage, so we had to walk or drive into town or on street to get reception (we're with Optus, so might be better with Telstra). Had a great stay :-) thanks!'

Anna was so helpful, prompt and flexible with check in and out times! And suggestions of things nearby was so helpful. The place had a lovely cosy feel and the fairy lights and fire made it for me! Walking distance to the pub was great for dinner. Thanks Anna.

We had a fantastic time at the cheeky fox retreat! The house and property were all that was promised and more. We had a group of friends up for a weekend away and a wine tour in the Yarra valley. The house was the perfect base for us and Jason and Linda were really helpful and hospitable. The house is absolutely beautiful and tastefully done and the property is very picturesque. One of the the best parts for us was the music studio which we had heaps of fun jamming in. We will definitely be trying to get back to the cheeky fox again!

We had a great time at Cheeky Fox Retreat. The surrounds were lovely, it was a very relaxing and enjoyable time. Jason and Linda were lovely hosts who made us feel very welcome and arranged extra things for our group such as a high chair. The house was very clean and the cinema was great! I would recommend this place. The only negative was that there was no coffee machine or popcorn maker as indicated in their profile.

Jason and Linda are one of the most welcoming hosts I have experienced on Airbnb, they are understanding and considerate to any issue you have, yet still manage to respect your privacy. The property itself is immaculate, with enough bedrooms to satisfy even the biggest family. A beautiful pool, fireplace, cinema room and a spacious outside area, that has a serene view that you just don't get in the city. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone if they're looking for a cheeky getaway

We had a great cosy winter getaway at cheeky fox! The group comprised 11 adults and 4 children and we fit comfortably in the house. Everything in the house is new and clean, the beds even have electric blankets which was lovely! We loved using the theatre room and the library. We especially enjoyed spending time in the kitchen cooking, looking out over the spectacular views!

We had a large group needing somewhere to stay after spending the day at the Country Races. This place was the perfect setting to reflect on the days activities over beverage taking in the amazing views from the back verandah. A brand new BBQ enabled us to cook a great meal for everyone, and the huge kitchen allowed plenty of room for prep and storage in the gigantic fridge! Loads of room meant everyone was comfortable and had a great time. Perfect house for large group. The ad doesn't do it justice. This place is great!

Jason and Linda were the perfect hosts, from the minute we booked , to the minute we left Cheeky Fox Retreat. We walked in to an immaculately presented house , of generous proportions and very well presented. All 6 bedrooms were made up beautifully with quality linen and towels. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and perfect for cooking up a storm, overlooking the picturesque countryside and valleys. The kids had a ball riding their bikes around the paddocks, swimming in the pool and watching movies in the huge cinema room. The adults enjoyed the tranquility, the incredible views and a wine on the decking. Thanks for an awesome 4 day break Jason and Linda. We couldn't recommend Cheeky Fox more .. We will definitely be going back ..

Let me just start off with saying I couldn't have had a better weekend away. Fire lit for us as we arrived, and that was just the start. House stocked with everything anyone would need for a fantastic night away. House and view was amazing, not to mention the cheeky visits from the horses and the sheep. To cap things off, the warmest welcome from our hosts, made the entire stay feel pretty special. Will visit again!

Great house for a big group, all the necessary amentities, nicely situated.

What an amazing place with a stunning morning view. One of the nicest air bnb's I've stayed in. Bron was super responsive and very helpful.

What Bron and her family have created is very special. I could have watched the view from the lounge window forever. Our whole family enjoyed the space inside and out which makes you feel at peace. Both our young children and ourselves woke to say we had had the best sleep ever! Thanks so much Bron

A very pleasant stay. The house is clean and comfortable. Very secluded and quiet in a really nice little town. Thanks.

Bron was a marvelous host. She has been so helpful and considerate even before our trip began. The house was amazing and exactly as beautiful as the photos showed. My 3 year old daughter especially enjoyed the great collection of children books in the house. We had to spend every morning reading to her. Would definitely recommend any family with children to stay here.

A group of 8 dad went away for the weekend and had a great time. The place was perfect for us. Bron was very responsive when I contacted her and great to deal with. We are definitely returning here!!

Gorgeous little place that provided the r and r I needed. Quiet and peaceful. Beautifully decked out, clean and exquisite views. Highly recommend.

Our stay at the White house was thoroughly enjoyed by our whole family. Its a stunning, well layed out, well equipped cosy home away from home. Our 2 year old had the time of her life playing with the gorgeous toy collection and reading all the books. Our baby was very comfy in the gorgeous cot with comfy blankets. All the beds were comfy, the linen nice and the shower hot. We lit a fire and stayed indoors most of the weekend due to bad weather but enjoyed the stunning views and watching the sheep go from one paddock to the other. Bron was excellent with communication and quick to respond. It was my 1st airbnb experience so I was nervous about how it works but this was as good as it gets. Kinglake is definitely a bit colder than Melbourne. But once the fire is lit the house soon warms up. The kitchen is fantastic for cooking and has everything you require. We had a great time and my Irish mother in law enjoyed her holiday. Highly recommended!

My gf and I loved our short but sweet stay here. If there's an airbnb with a better view from the Ranges I'd like to see it. We were given plenty of privacy to relax and take in the gorgeous scenery. Kicking back in the spa watching the night lights, and feeding the cockatoos with the seed the hosts left us were the highlights.

Great views by day, spectacular by night. Vintage wooden floors add a cosy but nostalgic feel.

Absolutely fantastic place, with the most amazing views. The peace and quiet is perfect to get away to and forget about the hustle and bustle of life.

My boyfriend and I had such an amazing experience here ! We were greated by the host and the manager on arrival and received information about the room and the area, which was useful and very kind ! The views are beyond belief, you feel like you are on top of the world. And the spa was relaxing and made the experience feel surreal. Would definitely recommend to any couples and will definitely be going back in the future. Thank you!

This is a beautiful place to stay with an incredible view. Hot tub was perfect and really enjoyed the stay on New Year's Eve. Thank you !

Fantastic views and a friendly host. Great for a couples weekend away!

My partner and I had the most amazing time here! Can not get over how good the view was. The spa in the middle of winter is so lovely and waking up to the cockatoos in the morning waiting for food was beaut! The place was so cute and clean and the hosts made us feel so welcome and they even had tim tams in the fridge for us! Will definitely be back

Excellent views of Melbourne, the hot tub was great. Though that is what you are paying for. Derek was friendly and helped us settle in and knew the area well. Great suggestion for tea. Breakfast supplied and that was great On the downside the bathroom needed a good clean, bed was very average to sleep in. Just minor things really. A great one off experience.

Want to visit again and again

Dani's place was not only a comfortable stay experience for our one night getaway, her cabin is also well-equipped with everything you'll need for your stay, even a mosquito repellent in the cupboard. Bed was comfortable and it's a cosy cabin for two people. She has also thoughtfully prepared a breakfast kit. Appreciate her warm hospitality and suggestions on places to visit around Dandenongs! Would definitely come back again to visit.

Gorgeous little cabin, really stylishly fitted out in the most perfectly serene and tranquil garden setting. Use of the bathroom in the main house was not a problem and the bathroom itself was gorgeous and well worth the short walk across the yard! Danielle was a most welcoming host, we felt right at home. Can't wait to return!!!

Gorgeous little bungalow with an incredible view from bed! Danielle is so flexible and friendly. It was so thoughtful of her to provide us with a spread of breakfast items and wait for us to arrive later than we expected.

Great accommodation, lovely location and the host made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended!

What an amazing place! I was staying solo while my son played in a basketball tournament. The place was immaculate, clean and the presentation was well thought out. Well decked out with all you need in the kitchenette. Beautiful picturesque views seen through a large window by the bed. The breakfast basket was a definite winner. The host (Dani) was very accomodating. I would go back some day and would definitely recommend as a great place to stay.

Dani was a fantastic host. She was very generous and accomodating and was so lovely to chat to. The place is stunning, I couldn't recommend it enough.

The cabin was perfect and the finer details in the interior were appreciated. The view and surroundings were breathtaking and loved seeing the cockatoos, rosellas and the peacock hanging out! The host is fantastic and makes you feel instantly feel welcome and has great local knowledge. This place is perfect for any kind of holiday.

A Windmill Barn was one of the most unique stays I have ever had. The decor was quirky and interesting, the house was wonderfully cozy, and Lauretta and Victor were extremely gracious. Gorgeous area, lovely place to stay--would definitely go again! Thank you so much!

We loved the place, lots of character, everything we needed and more!

Highly recommend this lovely place to anyone who's visiting Dandenong Ranges. Lauretta and Victor made us feel very welcomed throughout the stay. We loved every single corner of this house and its surroundings. All decorations and sculptures are beyond exquisite. Very relaxing and secluded spot.

If your looking for something extra special this place is perfect! Picture perfect, the photos just don't do it justice. We stayed with our young son who loved exploring the surrounding gardens, loved the "park" at the bottom of the garden and the amazing cubby house right outside the front porch. Lauretta went that extra mile and provided 2 baskets of toys for our son, on top of the puzzles and toys already available in the house. The house is beautifully styled in old school country charm and is almost like a mini museum with lots of old items on display and anchored to the rafters... could kill hours just exploring the house and its collection. While the house is filled with lots of old items I didn't have any concerns that anything was problematic with a kid running about and Lauretta was more then willing to remove anything that might have posed an issue. A beautiful basket of continental breakfast items and fruit was a lovely and welcoming touch. The kitchen had everything one might need from a basic meal to baking a cake. The house was very comfortable. Lovely warm shower and nice toiletry inclusion available and comfortable beds with lots of pillow choices. The property itself is a little out of the way, but that's half the charm. Very scenic. Was a perfect base to enjoy our day adventures in the Dandenong ranges area, and a lovely spot to return to at the end of the day.

A very relaxing area.

Such a lovely peaceful quaint place... loved hearing the kookaburras in the morning. Wonderful hosts... couldn't be more helpful. Thanks again.

Was a beautiful little cottage, finished to every detail. Very friendly and accomodating, beautiful breakfast. Every touch thought out and would stay there again.

We had a lovely stay in the barn, that could easily accommodate 4 adults and 2 children. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable house and a nice touch with the breakfast included. The kids loved playing in the cubby house - made it their most fun Airbnb stay so far!
