Juniper & Rye - Romantic Cottage Sherbrooke Forest

 

 

 

 

Managed by Valley Ranges Getaways.
Juniper & Rye is created just for two. You'll love the ambience and furnishings at this sweet cottage. Real wood fire for winter, airconditioning for warmth and cooling. Beautiful iron queen sized bed with quality linen. Gorgeous stained glass window and huge shower!
There's a kitchenette with microwave, an electric frypan and fridge. You don't need to cook much as you'll enjoy the eateries scattered around the local area.
The idea for the cottage came from pioneer cottages we had visited in rural Victoria. We were fascinated to see the way people lived then and the furniture and utensils they used. I loved the style of the buildings with a central corridor and a veranda at the front. I often thought about the cosy and uncomplicated feeling these buildings generated. Combined with the modern facilities of the bathroom and kitchen we thought this feeling would make an unusual and interesting stay for guests who perhaps come from the city. The setting of tiny garden and being adjacent to Sherbrooke Forest (walk there through our gates) and close to Belgrave township and the Villages of Sassafras, Olinda and Mt Dandenong would appeal to you as our guests.
You will be very comfortable in the antique iron queen bed, or cosied up by the fire in the lounge room watching Foxtel on the large TV. The kitchen is delightfully put together for you, so lots of interesting antique kitchen ware - even a Kookaburra Stove which is just for 'Show N Tell' - it is decorative only. But we have included a fridge, microwave and an electric frypan as well as the absolutely essential Nespresso coffee machine, kettle and toaster.
Beautiful leadlight windows in the bedroom and bathroom for your enjoyment. The bathroom is beautiful and all new with a rain shower from the ceiling into the huge walk in shower - there's room for two in there!
WiFi access is included although do note that internet and phone reception in the Dandenong Ranges can be unstable and please understand we have no control over that. If you rely on wifi please bring a backup modem.
AirCon - yes!
Outside the back gate is the forest - have a wander or take a long walk or hike through the lush greenery and feel the serenity.
You have exclusive use of this sweet self-contained cottage, with full kitchen, separate bathroom with shower, open fire and complimentary wi-fi.
During your stay our friendly team is available by agoda message, or you can phone 10am-5pm daily.
