There are two types of accommodation, found on this beautiful property with the ancient Rangeview gardens as a backdrop.

Woolrich Retreat is the original 1920s cottage that has been loving restored keeping the charm, romance and character of the era, with art deco furnishings and beautiful antiques. Facilities are updated to modern high standards.

There are two good sized bedrooms with a huge spa room in the middle with access from either room. The 4 person spa (proper jaccuzi) is sunk in the floor and there are glass windows and ceiling to watch the stars. The lounge room is classical elegance with open fireplace. A country kitchen opens to a large decking which takes care of entertaining for small groups.

We had a family celebration here and the setting, location and accommodation were just perfect.

Guests staying at Woolrich have free access through a gate into the Cloudehill Gardens next door. These are magnificent formal gardens with multiple "rooms" and vistas. You will find a cafe here as well.

The Rangeview gardens on the Woolrich property are home to an ancient wood and exploring brings many a delightful hidden nook and earthy surprises.

There is also the Garden Suite which is a fully self catering luxury spa hideaway - to suit one couple.

Hosts are gracious and respectful of your privacy and nothing is to hard for them, to ensure you have everything you need.

This place seems costly but for what it is, it is more than worth it.
Check the midweek rates and the packages on their website.

Recommended for a couples getaway, staying with friends (up to 6) and small gatherings by arrangement. Perfect place for wedding nights, bridal preparation or if you are attending a wedding or function in the hills.

I will definitely be back here one day when I visit the Dandenongs.

Opposite the Arboretum with magnificent views and handy to all the restaurant and activities of Olinda and the Dandenong Mountains.
