Cottage vacation rentals in Sassafras

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. It is a very private location with beautiful natural surroundings, but also conveniently close to Healesville and surrounding wineries and attractions. I would highly recommend for couples looking for a quiet and romantic getaway in a beautiful location. The outdoor spa is a unique and special experience!

Above and beyond. Great place, beautiful surroundings (some spectacular garden surprises nearby) and welcoming extra’s- thanks for the fresh bread and groceries!!! The family did not want to leave. Till next time…

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!

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.

Beautiful cottage, carefully maintained, can see the host has put lots of love into the property to make it special. Exactly how it was described and matched our expectations. Peaceful surroundings and cosy set up. Great weekend getaway, would stay again!

Alans place is so beautiful, the views are amazing. Very peaceful place. The hospitality was amazing. The place is not far from the Olinda village with lots of store and restaurants with amazing food. I will definitely be coming back.

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 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!

Beautifully presented house with character. Has all amenities you would need. Really enjoyed our stay and very helpful that our dog could join. Thank you again

The cottage is in a very good location. The no-through road kept the area quiet and the park in across the road was useful for quick dog runs. The local shopping village was an 8-min walk. Lots of playgrounds and parks around too! Highly recommend.

Fabulous cottage with plenty of space, a great vibe, neat and tidy, one street back from the beach. We stayed for a friends surprise birthday in Mt Eliza and diving at Rye Pier, transport was easy, also a large carport for the car. Great price for two people.

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

This was our 3rd visit and we love it. Such a great place for little kids. My boys love exploring the yard and surroundings, as well as playing with the dinosaurs and dragons. I love the fire place, out door fire, scenery and peacefulness. We all loved seeing and feeding many rosella's outside the front door. A very special experience. Kester is so lovely to deal with and goes out of her way to accommodate your needs. We certainly hope to return.

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.

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!

We had an amazing stay at Harry’s house. The cottage is located at a wonderful location very close to Yarra river and surrounded by lush greenery. The cottage itself is super cosy and has everything you would need for your stay. Steph is such a kind host. She was always responsive and accommodating when we wanted to extend our stay. One of our fav stays! Will definitely be back. 😊

Had a wonderful week at Willow Gum Cottage. A great central spot on Mornington Peninsular. Also a great spot to stay away from the hustle and bustle but within a close drive to everything. The cottage was cosy and homely beautiful and clean and had everything you could want and more. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Greg and Jane were fabulous hosts. We were left a lovely note and snacks on our arrival and of course there was the Alpacas Zeus and Rocketman to welcome us each day.

Great place, we all would choose this place again for family get together. There is enough space for both adults and children. The garden was so peaceful with kookaburras visiting us every time we went into the garden.

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.
