Excellent cosy accommodation

Sandra was a lovely host. She provided beautiful cosy & comfortable accommodation plus there was warm homemade bread, pod coffee, fresh croissants, a fruit platter, chocolates, yoghurt, large range of tea & two jams, 3 cereals, light and full cream milk. Just superb! We were very happy that we were able to take our little chihuahua too, he had a large fully fenced yard which was perfect. We had such a lovely weekend, thankyou Sandra !

"Honeyeater Cottage" is an amazing & beautiful farm/country stay, that is still close to suburbia.

Dogs are welcome inside, & are allowed ON furniture & bed, as long as you supply a blanket to go over them. A very rare luxury for fur-parents. Every need catered for, with a variety of milks, juices, breads, jams, butter, coffees, teas, cereals & fruit salad upon arrival, plus many other delicious treats. Luxury linen, towels & toiletries, extremely comfortable furniture, beautiful gardens, friendly & sweet ponies & other 'rescued' farm animals. Host Sandra is friendly, warm, welcoming & so accommodating. An amazing, extremely comfortable & memorable stay. Highly recommended.

Dog friendly farm stay

We appreciated fully closed large yard, made friends with the ponies (our dog was fascinated by them), loved the scenic walk uphill from the cottage, Warburton rail trail nearby and all the food that Sandra has kindly provided. We had a very relaxing holiday, explored the 3 little towns around, hoping to be back!

Fabulous launching place to the Dandenong Ranges

The Honeyeater Cottage is truly lovely. The host Sandra is so welcoming and helpful but not intrusive at all. The cottage itself is small but had everything we needed. It is fabulously located within about 20 minutes to everywhere, including the best ever off-leash park at Pepi's Land in Emerald near the Emerald Lake Recreation facility. When we return we will definitely come back to Honeyeater Cottage.

Everything was wonderful. We had everything we needed and more. The host provided some home made juices and muffins and well as some snacks. The Seville shops are only about 10 minutes drive away.

Perfect farmstay

My husband and I spent the weekend here with our 2 dogs. As soon as we checked in, we felt very welcome. The cottage was stocked with fresh bread, butter, milk, fruits and so much more. There were even freshly baked muffins left for us. All the amenities were superb and made for a very comfortable stay. The dogs loved playing in the fenced garden and we loved seeing the miniature horses and goats roaming in the paddocks. Sandra was a lovely lady and we loved chatting with her.

Beautiful, comfortable and safe

Honeyeater cottage was our ideal home-away-from-home for our stay in the Yarra Valley. The cottage itself is really well laid out and nicely presented with everything you might need, including a continental breakfast featuring local produce. The setting and grounds are simply beautiful, with views over pastureland and the east side of the Dandenongs and a fully fenced garden around the cottage. Sandra is a charming and helpful host, and we felt well looked-after. Hilights of our stay include our morning walk up Old Beenak Rd (featuring amazing views, including a mob of kangaroos grazing in a nearby pasture) and the ponies in the enclosure next to the garden. Highly recommended.

Such a cute cosy little cottage to get away for a few days. Sandra is a very friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed including freshly baked muffins and bread which were delicious. We enjoyed wine and cheese platters in the afternoon on the deck while the 2 fluffies wandered in the garden and then cosy inside by the fire at night. We all had a lovely stay, thanks Sandra.
