This accommodation is something really special and our favourite on a 3-week southern Australia round trip. Caretakers might be the smallest of the cottages, but I think its the best as it is very secluded. Wonderful for a romantic get away! Having a wine on the patio at night and in the morning you feel like waking up in an enchanted forest. The hosts had prepared everything very well for our stay. Upper town is within walking distance.

Getting the luggage to the cottage is a bit of a mission along the narrow winding nature path and there‘s not a lot of room for storing it. The wall of the bathroom doesnt go all the way up to the ceiling, so not complete privacy on the loo. It wasn‘t a problem for us but something to consider depending who you want to share the cottage with.

The quiet and the little paths seem to encourage you to explore the garden, all the hidden antiques and vintage tricycles hidden away. I loved the charm of the caretakers cottage, it was definitely a memorable experience for all the right reasons. That vintage feel is esactly what my partner and I love when poking through historical towns, it was superb would not hesitate to recommend to frienda and family looking for a quiet get away

The little rock in the car park denoting the 45 degtee angle parking, gave our car some grief on the first day, but it is definitely avoidable we just miss judged, and with a lower sedan took a bit of a scrape on the exhaust. If that was the worst of it then I can assure anyone reading this that Como Cottages should be on your list of places to hide from the world for a few days

The Lavender Cottage is a superb location. Very central. Onsite parking and a 1 minute walk to the main precinct of Olinda. Usual accommodation amenities. Private from neighbours. Spacious bedrooms. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Quiet. Picturesque. Relaxing. Local area recommendations available. Board games and some reading matter available. Wifi available. Kitchen very well setup with lots of old world charm. Breakfast foods were plentiful & yummy. Spoilt for choices! The owners are very helpful and kind. There are some internal steps between rooms on the ground floor of this cottage and while there is a bedroom downstairs, the only toilet was upstairs, which was fine for us. Loved our stay here. So quaint, relaxing & beautiful.

Set amongst a beautiful garden the cottage had everything I needed. Had a outdoor corner where I could sit in the sun or shade, It was peaceful, the only noise was a kookaburra or two. The free breakfast cereals, milk, bread, juice, jams plus some chocolate on arrival was a nice touch.

Very little I didn't like. If I had to pick one it was hard navigating the garden path at night when it was very dark. That said I should have put the outdoor light of my cottage on.

It was nestled within a cozy spot, very private and it felt like you were the only one there. Magical. The fridge and pantry was stocked with breakfast foods and drinks, and the kitchen was set up to make your stay super comfortable. Also, super lovely manager at the property. The weather was perfectly cold and misty and I had the perfect view of it from my bed.

Plentiful breakfast supplies ready in the fridge and cupboard. Perfect location, opposite shops and a short driving distance to all Mt Dandenong attractions. Very spacious cottage, lovely deck to catch the afternoon sun. Perfectly working heating system, beautiful fireplace, firewood replaced when needed. Lovely owners who very quickly came to our rescue when our two year old locked us out! Would highly recommend to family and friends to stay here. Thank you.

Very cosy cottage conveniently located right near the main street. There were lots to do and we were warmly welcomed by the host. The cottage had everything we need, including breakfast and firewood for the fireplace.

The stairs were a little steep and the blinds did not fully block out the light but no major complaints otherwise.

Old dated furniture. Lack of a smart tv and wifi for the price. Shower was amazing however lack of privacy would be confronting for many. Close proximity of owner dwelling

I loved the quaintness of the cottage. Brett has done an outstanding job of renovating and creating a beautiful atmosphere of an olden era. We absolutely loved it. The location of Como Cottages was amazing, adding to ease of access to our wonderful four day weekend; just a very short walk to so many food options and to the many Olinda shopping experiences. Would love to come back in winter and experience the open fire in our cottage. Thank you Brett.

This was a unique and quirky cottage. It was exceptionally clean. It was tiny and an bit hard to move around but I honestly didn’t mind. There were precious details and you just had to love the history of the place and the proprietor. Also it had the softest rain shower. Breakfast was perfect with many choices made available for you to prepare for yourself in the morning. Even a little kitty came by to say hello.m

There was a wide coffee table in front of the couch. I might have cut it to be more narrow so it was easier to walk if someone was sitting on the couch. That is it. In Bali, they say Everything is perfect but for 2%, that was the two 2%, not really too important.
