This was the best place I've ever stayed - and I've been to a few, especially in the Dandenongs. For a start, I booked through an accomodation website where the dates were messed up. This could have been a disaster, but due to the kindness of the staff at Cottages Monreale, it wasn't an issue. Everything was beautifully presented and there was great attention to detail - the fireplace was set up and ready with kindling and the breakfast provisions were amazing. I'd definitely recommend this place.
