Clean & comfortable. Had everything I needed for my stay. Pet friendly allowed inside, secure back yard. Demi had a lovely time finding all the lost balls outside.
Only problem for me from a small seaside town, traffic noise & closeness of driveway to roundabout, but if you are right in the middle of suburbia you have to expect that.
Close to shops Dandenong Ranges all those lovely little country towns Belgrave, Emerald, Olinda etc. without being in the steep hilly areas.

We enjoyed our stay in Picketts cottage, which is very nicely fitted out inside with a new modern bathroom and kitchen. The lounge room is typical of a small cottage but still plenty of room for 4 people, and the two bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Out the back is a wooden patio with a small table and chairs where we enjoyed having our breakfast on sunny mornings and a drink in the evening. The back yard is well fenced, safe and perfect for dogs or children.
Greg and Jodie were great hosts who communicated well and were always very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We were really happy with our stay. It suited what we needed, too bad we couldn't stay longer. Thanks Greg! Would stay again if the opportunity arose.

Like stepping back in time but still enjoying the comforts of a modern day kitchen and bathroom. A real gem of a find
