About Clarendon Cottages

Clarendon's boutique guest accommodation offers three charming cottages in a secluded, peaceful, and romantic setting. Two acres of English country gardens and meadow nestle among a variety of beautiful century-old trees.

The cottages are within easy walking distance of Sassafras Village and Sherbrooke Forest and a short distance from the Olinda and Mount Dandenong villages. Three cozy one- and two-bedroom cottages, each with its own individual charm, are situated separately on the two-acre property.

Log fires, spas, fully equipped kitchens, and private decks are just some of the many features. Generous breakfast provisions are provided, as well as other complimentary treats. The tranquil countryside ensures a peaceful and relaxed sleep, allowing you to awaken to the sound of kookaburras.

Magnificent stay.

Pretty happy with the room and amenities. Upon arriving it was hot. The Air con was on which was very pleasant to walk into a cool cottage. I’m sure had it been cold the gas fire would be on. It’s very quiet and peaceful and very relaxing. Highly recommend you visit. We stayed in the Camellia Cottage.

We enjoyed our stay at Clarendon Cottages ,it was clean comfortable and quiet.The only comment I would make is that you should be aware that there is no sink/running water in the little kitchenette area . This is not to say that it was listed as an inclusion (ie we were not expecting it ) however for premium accommodation it was missed and something that others may want to be aware of prior to booking , especially for multi day stays.

Cosy and well appointed. Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in Dovecote Cottage at Clarendon Cottages. George and Jane reached out to us before our arrival with contactless check in information, and their number should we needed any recommendations or assistance. The cottage has been refurbished beautifully. It was perfectly comfy and cozy. The property itself is also gorgeous. It was very rainy and cold during our stay, but I'm sure guests would enjoy the gardens and feeding the birds (seed is provided!) under less damp circumstances. We enjoyed curling up on the couch in front of the faux fireplace heater to watch a movie, and snuggling under the covers with the electric blanket instead (there is an air conditioner, so warm weather visitors are catered for too). The drink and breakfast provisions were plentiful, with orange juice, milk, tea, coffee pods, hot chocolate pods, marshmallows, cookies, yoghurt, fruit, porridge, cereal, baked beans, a homemade loaf of bread and condiments. The kitchenette has a mini fridge, toaster and microwave, kettle and pod coffee machine. George and Jane have made sure their guest have all they could need and more. Looking forward to another stay at Clarendon Cottages in the future.

We stayed at the Stables cottage in Clarendon Cottages. I have been staying at the Dandenong Ranges for 20 years but I was extremely impressed with this place. Visually just gorgeous - attention to detail - and every effort made for a comfortable stay. The Stables is a twin bedroom cottage - with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Our night included breakfast and our own private garden, cupboard with toys and games and even a decanter of port with glasses!! Just wow!! I will not hesitate to rebook here

So cozy and private. The host welcomed you then stayed out of your hair. Pre-preared breakfast so chat to your partner. Lovely touches made the stay just that more enjoyable. Downside were some steep stairs(ask for a different cottage, if you can’t manage stairs) and a noisy night possum. but overall my wife and I loved our stay.

Disappointed at the lack of compassion from the owner. My father suffered a heart attack the day before, owner refused to let us cancel or change dates. Didn’t even offer his sympathies. Was pushy about arrival times. The stables cottage has other cars parked beneath it which kept us awake with other guests arriving/leaving during the night. The cottage itself was clean & comfortable, but a bit over priced.
