Cottage vacation rentals in Doreen

This is an absolute gem hidden amongst the trees of Cockatoo. A beautiful wood cottage nestled in the woods, so spacious, well appointed, airy, lots of light, great in any season. Quiet but at the appropriate time, you could watch and take great pictures of the famous Puffing Billy railway making its way past Felder Station which is just a short walk away. This is a great place to make as Headquarters for exploring the Dandenong and Yarra Valley regions. We spent three nights there and it was too soon. Kane and Brook are terrific hosts and made us feel at home with little kind touches, greeting us on arrival and made us feel right at home. This is a place not to be missed. Well done and thank you so much!

This property is beautifully serene, private and well equipped for a weekend to get away from it all. The host was stellar in ensuring that the time at the property was the best it could be. 5 stars.

We had a wonderful stay at the cozy cottage and our son loved the farm animals and surrounding gardens. The space was warm, comfortable and very clean. We loved collecting fresh eggs as fruits from the garden in the mornings, what a special treat!

A truly beautiful experience staying at the Wild Orchid Cottage. It is evident to see the love and thought Pia has put into the place. The cottage is in a perfect location and the surroundings are majestic. Pia could not have been more helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, for that we are so grateful.

Very comfortable. Enjoyed watching tv from the four poster bed, and from the spa. Also loved sitting out back watching sheep grazing. And the breakfast provided was fresh and very generous.

We had a great stay! Everything was so thoughtfully supplied, we loved the little details that the hosts left in the cottage for us. It made our stay very special and we felt very welcome.

A beautiful, private and relaxing place to stay. Great communication and excellent host. Stunning scenery and lots of great things to do in Warburton area.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt incredibly cozy. One of the absolute highlights was the spa tub — the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. It was clean, spacious, and made the whole experience feel extra luxurious. The location couldn’t have been better — close to everything but still quiet enough to feel like a relaxing retreat. Shops, restaurants, and attractions were all just a short walk or drive away. Liz was also very responsive and thoughtful, making check-in seamless and the whole stay stress-free. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of indulgence!

We had such a fantastic stay. The house is so thoughtfully pieced together and Tricia was such an accomodating host. Heater on got arrival, bottle of wine from the winery next door and offered flexibility with checking in and out. Fantastic property and host!

What a beautiful cottage. The location and styling gave off such a relaxing environment which was the reason for our getaway. A gorgeous well-appointed property. We will definitely be booking again. Thank-you

Mistwood is just off the main street but feels a world away given it’s down a steep drive and surrounded on by natural bush land. The house is very comfortably, cozy and homely with everything you need for a long weekend. My only issue was the weather was so bad all weekend I didn’t get to use the outdoor bath! Nicole was an excellent host too.

More than happy to return to Chris's cottage, we really enjoy this location and the cottage is cosy, private and peaceful. we particularly like the additional parking space too, it helps if you have a trailer on as we did for this visit. Chris warmed up the house for our arrival along with lights and snacks. we'll be back (our home away from home)

We had a great stay at Kat’s place. The cottage is well set up, roomy, centrally located (though still quiet) and was spotlessly clean. There are a lot of great eating places a short walk away. Also appreciated being able to check in a little earlier. Thanks again Kat - would definitely recommend your place to family and friends.

Judith and Paul’s cottage was perfect for our stay in Healesville with our 15 month old son. The property was clean, tidy and had lots of amenities that were important to us as a young family, such as outlet covers, children’s toys, books and tableware. The back deck and gardens were stunning and provided a perfect spot to unwind. In terms of location the cottage is a short 6 minute drive to the Healesville sanctuary, and a short drive into town where there are lots of shops, cafes and parks. We can see why this property would be ideal if you have a dog! We will be recommending the property to our friends who like to travel with their pets.

Beautiful cottage that will leave you wishing you could stay longer. Lovely touches throughout that were thoughtful and generous. Chocolates, wine and breakfast provisions all waiting to greet us

Definitely would stay again, the location was perfect. Surrounded by trees and birds. The garden was huge and fully fenced which was a big win as we have an adventurous beagle. The shack was warm, cosy and well equipped. The toilet was outside but it only added to the fun of escaping the city life.

Lovely old cottage, quiet and private. Very comfortable bed, in fact there was a choice of different bedrooms. Nice gas log fire in the lounge kept the room toasty warm (and it was very cold outside). Column heaters in each bedroom which are easily moved around to where-ever they're needed. Also a reverse-cycle air conditioner in lounge. Breakfast provisions consisted of eggs, milk, butter, cereals, bread, vegemite and a Nespresso coffee pod machine. Lots of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, but as in just about every short-term rental, needs a good, sharp cooks knife. Full size fridge, along with a dishwasher and induction stove, kettle and toaster. A great place to stay for a few days to look around Kyneton and surrounds.

My mum, sisters and I had the most beautiful stay at Julian and Susie’s! The cottage was absolutely perfect and so cosy, not to mention how stunning the surrounding gardens/views were. We enjoyed every moment and hope to book another stay there again! Thank you Julian and Susie for being wonderful hosts and making our stay one to remember.

A gorgeous place in a divine location. Every little detail taken care of and very warm and cozy. We will be back. Thank you for having us.

This was my second solo stay and just love this place. So quiet, private and peaceful with all the amenities you could ever need to cook up a storm and have a relaxing stay. Lots to do in the surrounding area too. Helen was so kind to offer me an early check in and a late check out which was such a nice bonus and her communication is spot on while also leaving you to have an uninterrupted stay. Will definitely be back again!

Dimitra’s place is a dream. We feel very fortunate that we could escape and spend a couple of days at her cottage in an ideal location. Very handy to not have to use a car. Beautiful space, extremely comfortable bed and amazing bath. Thanks for the extra touches of wine and chocolates on arrival. We loved our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Sulochi’s place. It was clean, peaceful and private, and our hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. The home had everything we needed for the perfect getaway

Charlotte’s Country Cottage is fantastic. It is situated in vibrant Brunswick, between Lygon Street and Sydney Road. Yet, it is a super private and in a quiet location, accessed down a locked private pathway, servicing only 2 properties. I felt super safe, given I was at Charlottes Country Cottage by myself, out all day and returning alone at night. The Cottage was immaculate, ultra clean, exactly as represented by the photos. When next back in Melbourne, I definitely know where I’m staying.

Such a lovely little cottage! Spotlessly clean and well appointed, we loved the deck and being able to feed the birds. We would absolutely stay again.
