Location

10 Fern Glen Avenue, Mount Dandenong, Australia

If coming from Montrose side, travel up Mount Dandenong Rd for approximately 9km and then turn left into Hume Lane (just before Tatra Receptions). Now turn into the 3rd road on the right, which is Fern Glen Avenue. Take this road to the end. Enter the large black gates and follow signs to your cottage.

NOTE : Please drive slowly (20km/h) as road is not bitumen.

If coming from Upper Fern Tree Gully side, travel up Mount Dandenong Rd for approximately 13km and then turn right into Hume Lane (just after Tatra Receptions)

Now turn into the 3rd road on the right, which is Fern Glen Avenue. Take this road to the end. Enter large black gates and follow signs to your cottage.

NOTE : Please drive slowly (20km/h) as road is not bitumen.

THE DRIVEWAY Please note that if heading to Brook Cottage, Windmill Lodge or Jacuzzi Lodge, that there are two sharp hairpin turns in the driveway. Take these slowly. The driveway is safe but it is quite steep and can make people feel nervous. Just drive slowly and carefully and you will be OK. Larger trucks should not enter as they will be unable to clear the turns. Vans are utes are fine.

The natural environment in the Dandenong Ranges
Please note the Dandenong Ranges is home many animals and also to small little bugs which is a natural part of our ecosystem. You may encounter or hear some animals while staying with us, including noise from birdsong and possums. Small little bugs can also sometimes get inside and we do our very best to gently remove them during changeover.

Connectivity in The Dandenong Ranges

Phone service is touchy in the Dandenong Ranges. We encourage or guests to use wifi calling while staying with us. We offer high speed internet (1ooMB). However we can't ensure no issues due to weather or maintenance.

Please Note that Hume Lane and Fernglen Avenue that lead to our cottages are 600 meters of gravel roads. These roads are graded regularly by shire however at times can be corrugated so please drive slowly on these. We apologise about these and the entire street is appealing to Shire to have these roads paved.
