Haven in the Hills

If you are looking for a little piece of paradise, look no further. This charming rustic property "Cloudland" was established in the Dandenong Ranges in 1927. "Little Twicket" is a cosy cabin off the main residence. Gorgeous gardens and bird life surround you with beautiful views of the Silvan Dam. The setting of Little Twicket is the tranquil Dandenong Ranges. We are a short drive from the gorgeous villages of Olinda and Sassafrass, and the serene Rhododendron Gardens. There are cafes and restaurants galore nearby, many within walking distance and quirky antique and boutique shops. People come from all over Victoria to visit these celebrated Ranges, renown for their majestic trees and peaceful atmosphere. We're walking distance to the beautiful Olinda Falls, and the incredible views of Melbourne at the Sky High Lookout. You could always just relax here at Cloudland in our lovely garden, or cosy up and toast marshmallows on the fire pit. We have also just added an amazing Japanese style outdoor cedar bath tub for you to soak your stress away. We want to help you enjoy your little getaway as much as you can so feel free to chat to us before you arrive or check out our Airbnb Guidebook if you want to know some of the great things to see in the area. We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners, the Wurundjeri people, as the custodians of this land. We pay respect to all Aboriginal community Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the history of the region. In your cabin, you have a comfortable double bed, kitchenette, stunning views and your own ensuite with shower. Tea and coffee, including pour over freshly ground coffee and loose leaf tea and a range of specialty teas are supplied. The cabin has a TV/DVD. You can also use our outdoor cedar bathtub to soak away your stresses and rejuvenate amongst the trees and ferns. Most days we have the local wild peacocks come to visit, as well as cheeky cockatoos and gorgeous king parrots and rosellas. In the warmer months you can use the BBQ facilities or if it's a chilly night, you are welcome to light up the fire pit and toast a marshmallow or two. You can even meet our latest family members Wombat and Charlie, our incredibly cute Pygmy goats. We love it here, every morning we feel so lucky to look out at our beautiful view, we hope you will enjoy it just as much as we do. Little Twicket is self contained so you're welcome to keep to yourselves, or pop in and say hello to us in the main house. We have met some of the most fantastic people through hosting, and are always happy to talk to you about the local attractions. We are both COVID vaccinated to ensure your health and wellbeing and completely respect if you prefer not to interact with us in light of the current COVID situation. There is something so special about the "Dandenongs". We have so many unique shops and cafes that bring many weekend tourists. But if you're looking for peace and tranquility, there are beautiful walks and locations where you can escape and enjoy the surroundings. There is a bus stop 100 metres from Cloudland that connects with trains at Croydon or Upper Ferntree Gully Train Stations. Weekdays are the most peaceful in the hills. We have so much to offer up here that the villages and attractions can be popular with tourists on weekends. We deep clean the cabin between guests to ensure your health and are both COVID vaccinated to provide extra protection during your stay. We also run an air purifier in the cabin between guests which you are welcome to use during your stay if you prefer. Your safety and wellbeing are paramount to us.
