Observatory Cottages

It was quite cottages. Relaxing two nights. It was clean except the curtains, it was dusty. It was warm and if you turn in the fan in the fireplace, it’s going to be very warm. The temperature would reach all the distance to the bed.

Close to Sky High and great walking tracks. Highly recommend. Fantastic place for a get away. Full breakfast also provided.

Absolutely Amazing! 10/10 Made our whole trip. Cozy, beautiful, comfortable, clean and tidy. Absolutely exceptional

Went on a romantic getaway and omg such a beautiful little cottage love this place will be back

Wow. If you are after a cute cottage in the Dandenongs, then this is it! Hope to go back, loved it.

Fantastic accommodation, we had 4 couples and had plenty of room. Friendly staff, clean facilities, breakfast was provided, great location. Will definitely be back again!

Stayed for two nights, very near to sky-high of which we intended to catch aquarid meteors shower unfortunately didnt happen due to bad weather. Nevertheless, we were quite happy to stay indoor, cottage is super cozy and warmth (love the gas heater), pretty equipped kitchen with breakfast (bread, cereals, yogurt etc). There are some books and visitor info, a little outdated brochures but that's ok. Cottage is clean and love the design/decor, all the hanging photos/drawing are lovely. We enjoyed our stay here, such a great weekend getaway =)

We had a lovely time there. Very beautiful, and quiet surroundings. The cottage itself is a bit rustic but charming and comfortable. The cleaning of the cottage especially dusting can be improved but the main areas and appliances were clean. We ran out of the toilet paper in the middle of the night and couldn’t find any replacements. I had to drive to the nearest 7 eleven (around 15-20 minutes drive) to get toilet paper. My canim was furious but I think it’s part of the experience:) I’m sure it was an unfortunate oversight. All in all we had a blast!

Wow! What a brilliant stay!
Such a romantic vibe, bed was amazing, spa was amazing! The fact you can hand feed the kookaburras and parrots was incredible
Definitely will be back!

Filthy, unhygienic and very poor accountability. Ridiculously priced and even tried to turn it on the customer when the rat and mice droppings, dead insects, old residue in fridge are not something l would carry around with me. Appalling and non deserving of anyone staying there as it promotes 5 stars. Stay away!

My fiancé Alison and I stayed in the Candlewick cottage, it was a 50th birthday getaway and it was everything you’d hope for. As soon as we opened the door Alison didn’t want to leave. We’ll be back, already booking for same time next year. Thanks Observatory Cottages couldn’t of had a better weekend.

Nice little cottage, comfortable and the GAS wood heater is amazing. Fantastic to have a TV with Netflix etc for those nights or afternoons where you and your partner just want to relax together and watch something.

Good provisions left in the fridge.

Couch and bed were comfortable.

Loved the birds coming to perch in the morning outside on the front porch.

Cottages are also close to main shops etc

Only criticism would be that the cottage could do with some dusting in areas that I'm guessing cleaners don't normally check. For example on top of the microwave.

So beautiful, cozy and private cottage. I feel like go back to 1960 by time machine.very special experience.just near sky high.

Absolutely fantastic! Everything you could possibly need is there at the cottage. Really nicely appointed with lots of personal touches. 4 bedrooms on 3 levels meant so much room for the family to spread out. Weather was terrible during our stay which meant we appreciated the cottage and its amenities even more. A fabulous stay and would love to come back again.

Had the most beautiful stay in Owl's croft with my partner for her birthday, primo lesbian cottage core vibessss! Take some cheeky party favours to elevate your experience

Stayed in the iron bark cottage for my 40th birthday and it was picture perfect. Lovely clean room with amazing views and great spa. Thanks again for allowing the one night stay on the weekend. Been comming here for over 10 years, this's is my 3rd stay and look forward to coming back more often!

Can't remember which room we were in

But a lovely stay during some stormy weather
Very nice breakfast after a warm cosy night

Love the Spa

Heating a lights were on, on arrival

Well be back

Wind song cottage was a dream. A charming room with everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped and they supply fresh bread, butter, spreads, bacon, eggs, water, juice, and most importantly wine and lindt chocolate. Good wine too. There's an intimate dinning area, a massive 4 post bed with canopy and nice deep spa and a shower to die for. Comes with robes and slippers and as a nice touch there are welcome signs in the window. Beautiful views, wildlife to feed and peace and quiet.
Only problems were I had trouble getting to the room from the car park with my wheely bag due to gravel and a slight incline in the path. Not really suitable for anyone in a wheelchair.

A serene and peaceful place to be for a romantic night, to chill or for deeper thought processes. Best visit time is during the dusk, when u slowly see Melbourne glowing in the beautiful setting sun's golden rays and later when you see the skies above illuminating with the colourful stars competing with the luminous Melbourne below the Mountain Ranges.

Cottages were amazing, service was great and friendly, amenities were fantastic was a wonderful getaway, will definitely be back, thanks for wonderful weekend away
