I don’t normally write reviews, but I must compliment Jing on your property.
We were absolutely delighted with the Blue and White House. All breakfast provisions were generously supplied, just a short stroll from the main part of Olinda Set in lovely tranquil gardens surrounded by rainforest.
It was perfect for our visit for a family wedding, and I’ll definitely be recommending it :)

We loved the shops in Olinda and Sassafras just down the road. Easy walking, sitting in the sun at Dudley’s having a wine was relaxing.The trees and the beautiful Dandenong botanical gardens were amazing. It is like a little haven just out of Melbourne, all the people working in shops are so friendly it is just such an awesome little town.
Because it is so incredible it is getting really busy on weekends.

The townships of Sassafras and Olinda offer many quirky and artistic shopping and dining experiences. Alternatively you can have a typical aussie bush experience. The many massive gardens in the area are a must. The Alfred Nicholas Gardens are great any time and the Botanic gardens rhododendrens are sensational in season. The area along the Tourist road and out to Kallista is beautiful.
I highly recommend a visit to this area.

The place was picked by the photos and they were out if date . The spa wasn't the same as the picture. And my wife is a invalid so the spa was very difficult to use for her as the height was very dangerous. It clearly isn't the photo which was advertised. Also there was no area for standing outside if it rained no cover at all. Also very noisy being down stairs can hear constant noises. The breakfast was good and the place is warm. It's clean but it's less then the pictures are discibing .

At first they seemed nice, but when we walked into the back in a dark (what seemed to be a garage or something, messy paper work everywhere) we just brushed it off and we regret not looking at the place before paying the remaining money.
When she showed us around she pointed out all the faulty appliances that we shouldn't be using, she asked my husband if he was a handyman and how she gets some of her guest to help her 'fix' the place up. Even if my husband is a handyman we are on our anniversary getaway, we came there to relax not work.
The handle of the sliding door (which is basically your main entrance) is broken and anyone can break in literally with a ruler, no security at all.
When we saw the bathroom she told us that she took 3 light bulbs out and only left us with 1, when we asked why she replied "because guest leave the lights on when they go out".
It was so dusty and dirty, when we rocked up the towels were on the oil heater cause they weren't dried and ready for us, the towel rack broke while she was showing us around. The bed sheets didn't look clean nor did they smell clean, we saw some bed bugs on the bed and this put us off straight away.
We booked the Deluxe Suite with Spa Bath, there was no balcony or mountain view for us. I believe that as guest we deserve to have a clean, comfortable and secure environment to stay in especially when we are paying $320 a night.
We didn't end up staying at any of the 2 nights that we booked, We were so disappointed and outraged so we just went back home.
We did call and try to compromise to get half our money back but they didn't return any of our calls or messages
Absolutely the worst way to end our anniversary getaway!!!!

Couldn't visit gardens or national parks - most closed due to damage from wild weather - however, normally these are lovely to visit.
The villages along the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road can get quite crowded on weekends, so if you can visit during the week, it will be more peaceful.
there are plenty of food options around, including some good 'country pubs'.
We had such a lovely stay at Woolrich gardens retreat. Growing up spending holidays at my grandparents place in the Dandenongs, this brought back so many precious and beautiful memories. I loved the super comfy beds, the gorgeous retro decor, the views, the beautiful gardens, and the wonderful location being attached to Cloudehill gardens. The kitchen had all the mod cons and was fit out beautifully. It was great to have ducted heating throughout. The large flat screen TV was a bonus.
The cottage is in a great location near all the sites. It is spacious, cosy and beautifully decorated and Jasna is so generous and thoughtful. It is a beautiful home away from home with a stunning garden. We stayed in winter but it warm and cosy. Leaving we felt revitalised from our stay. Olinda Studio Getaway is one of the best places we have stayed at in all our years of travelling and is definitely 5 star.
Was pleasantly surprised that the cottage was situated amongst the rainforest with a little creek at the back of the property. Also the cottage's proximity to Olinda was an incredible 4 min walk away from town. The accommodation was superb and made for a very relaxing weekend. The heating was left on for us which was a lovely touch.
The ambience when we opened the door to the cottage was incredible. The personal touches by hosts Karen and Tamara added to the experience. A truly beautiful place and just what we needed. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a beautiful country escape, to relax and unwind in nature. We will definitely be back ❤️
Wow! Such a relaxing stay. Cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and cosy. Hot tub was just the laid back luxury we needed. Location is ideal, walking distance to shops, restaurants, beautiful gardens and hiking tracks. Staff are friendly and thoughtful. We'll definitely be back.
The location and the cottages are beautiful, truly an amazing place to retreat, relax and enjoy the weekend. Jessica, the owner was very responsive on the phone, and gave us a quick introduction despite we arrive only around 5-6 pm in the evening.
Staff is very nice. Bed is absolutely comfy. Love the themed room, it is quaint and felt the old fashioned vibe. It is perfectly located right across the places we wish to visit in Olinda. The tub is the highlight of our stay.
Great quiet 2 bedroom cottage with large full-equipped kitchen. Underfloor heating was a boon, as was the large amount of breakfast supplies. Very clean and comfortable. Walkable path through it's scrambled bush garden.
This is the second time my lady and I have stayed at the rocky creek B and B. It's our favourite place to visit. The fire the space the forest and the householders that welcomed us to the place. Very welcoming and homely.
The cottage was perfect. Lots of nice, personal touches and the cottage afforded a great deal of privacy. We walked into Olinda for dinner easily and it was a great starting point to explore the beautiful surroundings.
Location excellent in heart of Olinda.. walked to seasons at cloud hill for breakfast.. a must do …20min walk.amenities were good …equipment such as microwave and washer/ dryer excellent.
Mary Cards was the perfect base for our Dandenongs stay. The accommodation was very comfortable and breakfast provisions were generous. Everything we required was at our fingertips.
The house is really lovely. I came with my daughter and family friends for a weekend. Clean, close to main areas of olinda, tucked away, greeted by wildlife... it was magic
