Magnolia Retreat - Rocky Creek Art Garden

A delightful self-contained cottage located in the original house built in the 1920s. You will be captivated by the art deco ceiling ornaments along with the fireplace in the dining area, and surrounding gardens featuring the magnificent Magnolia. The spacious cottage features the main bedroom with a split system (heating and cooling) and ensuite bathroom, a second bedroom with a portable heater, a full-size country-style kitchen and dining area complete with a woodfire heater, and a laundry.

We're located in the midst of the main tourist area of the Dandenong Ranges a 55 min. drive from the CBD. It's only a 2 min. drive away from the charming Sassafras and Olinda Villages. The national parks and other well-known tourist attractions are also close by.

We are located on a 3.25-acre property surrounded by a very picturesque 90-year-old garden, which can be explored via a 250m walking track. A beautiful creek flows through the forest, a small walk away from the house.
