We stayed at Clare Cottage, just above Sassafras, during March 2012. We booked at the last minute after having to cancel our trip to Tassie because we were involved in the northern Victoria floods. To say we were stressed would be an understatement, and Clare Cottage fulfilled our need for a break from reality. Such a high standard of accommodation,... More

I really dont understand why travellers choose to stay in dull boring hotels when you can stay in a gorgeous cottage like the Candlelight Cottages. Everything is absolutely perfect! The rooms are enchanting and gorgeous in every way, the bathrooms and spa bath are a delight. The kitchen is unbelievably prepared for you already with all sorts of yummy treats... More

Beautiful room and friendly hosts, an absolutely perfect gateway from city! We stayed at Clare cottage, which is so cosy and perfect with those lovely furniture and foods provided by hosts. Hearer, lights and music were on when we arrived, it was so nice like back home. We are planning on staying there again! More

We stayed at a stand-alone cottage close to Sassafras run by Candlelight Cottages. It's a beautiful cottage with a homely feel and stunning views of the bush. It feels secluded and romantic. The house was immaculate and the attention to detail, second to none. The food the left for breakfast was of generous proportions and delicious! It was an open... More

Beautifully appointed, comfortable retreat. Loved the little details such as the jams, jazz CD's, games, spa bath with atrium roof, fresh coffee, double shower, tasty breakfast provisions and a roaring log fire on arrival. Wow. We stayed in the gorgeous Twilight Cottage, and didn't want to leave. Just one little criticism - hard mattress. More

As for the cottage itself, it was well appointed and comfortable, but dusty in places which was a shame. The large spa bath was very nice (once it filled) but the shower didn't work properly. At...

We stayed for one night at the Cottage in the Forest. It was beautifully appointed, comfortable and warm. Breakfast provisions were very generous and I loved the coffee machine and loose leaf tea. The setting is tranquil and beautiful - and best enjoyed from the double spa bath with a glass of champagne! The bath does take a while to... More

I felt instantly at home as I walked through the door and into what has become my blissful escape from the city. This is the third time I have stayed at Candlelight Cottages and once again the hospitality was just as warm as the crackling fireplace that kept me snug as I indulged in all this quaint little cottage has...

We traded in city living for a couple of nights away in the Dandenongs. What a wonderfully relaxing experience both Candlelight Cottages and Olinda are. We had the studio-style "cottage in the village" which is in the midst of a lovely little bush setting with a babbling brook alongside. adequate living area and kitchen, both with all the comforts of...
