Outstanding.
Pros:

Amazingly large ‘bungalow’ with everything you need. It used to be an artist’s studio - and has been set up in that way.
Freshly-baked bread delivered at 8.30 am everyday - placed outside the front door to avoid intrusion.
Exceeded all expectations - I would base my whole time in this property next time!!

Cons:

Nothing!!

A Perfect Mini Retreat in the Dandenong Ranges
Pros:

The Gallery B&B in Olinda is a hidden gem nestled in 1 ½ acres of stunning gardens. This former art gallery has been beautifully transformed into a cozy, stylish retreat for two. We loved unwinding in the double spa, relaxing by the gas log fire, and cooking gourmet breakfasts with freshly baked bread provided daily.

The peaceful surroundings made it perfect for yoga, journaling, and recharging. Close to charming cafes, scenic walks, and the Yarra Valley vineyards, it’s the ideal getaway to relax and reconnect. Highly recommend!

Lovely, tranquil and beautifully presented. Love the bread!
Pros:

Amazing stay for our first honeymoon retreat after our special day at the Olinda Tea House. The Gallery is gorgeous and so peaceful. It's very conveniently located and easy to find. The gardens the house is located on and provide views of are so lovely, it was so hard to check out and leave this place. We loved the bread and jams and honey, and everything provided, this was a stay we'll never forget. And I've never stayed at an accommodation so clean and well presented before. Thank you so much.

Cons:

Nothing wrong and close to perfect, just the bed size is a bit small. With the size of the room and being an ideal honeymoon spot, they could upgrade to a King size :)

A hidden little piece of paradise
Pros:

Beautiful cottage nested inside the forest. Fire place and heat pump kept the place warm. Daily freshly baked bread was delivered every morning. Big spa tub, smart TV. The host Rhonda was very helpful and got us tickets to KaBloom Flower Festival. The cottage is close to Cloudehill Garden, RJ Hanmer Arboretum and Botanical Garden.

Peace and Tranquility in abundance!
Pros:

The peace and tranquility! Every window had a different scene. The window bench seats were great for lazing on and truly relaxing. If you want to feel like you are in the bush then this is your place. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of varied from cereals to bacon and eggs, smoked salmon... The quirky "gallery"chairs were different but very comfortable. Huge and comfortable leather couch.

Cons:

A queen or king sized bed (currently a double only) would make an otherwise excellent place totally comfortable.

Sensational! 11/10!
Pros:

My partner and I stayed at The Gallery over a long weekend. We were completely blown away by how perfect this little slice of paradise is!
The Gallery has all the amenities one would expect, but it was the finer details that made our stay so much more enjoyable. We arrived to some ambient music in the background and the whole house smelled incredible!
There is an assortment of art and sculptures in the house, and surrounding gardens - complete with an easel, we were encouraged to create some of our own art for the owners (my stick figures were sure to impress)

We awoke in the morning to the chirping of birds and the smell of freshly baked bread. Our hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us, they even baked an extra loaf of gluten-free bread for my partner (I had some of this as well as the regular bread - 5 stars!)

As this was our first time in the area, our hosts recommended a number of places to visit during our stay. We especially enjoyed the Olinda Tea House, a 2-minute drive down the road, and then using our included guest pass to gain free entry into the spectacular Cloudehill Gardens just across the road.

I wish I could roll back time so I could re-live this weekend over and over again. We had such a magnificent stay at The Gallery, i do not doubt that we will be back again soon!
