About this property
Keepers Cottage - Nestled in the beautiful gardens of Moulton Park Estate.
Tucked away within the historic estate grounds, Keepers Cottage invites you to unwind in a dreamy king-size four-poster bed, with a beautifully appointed two-person spa just steps away — creating the perfect romantic retreat. In the cozy living room, a replica Victorian open fireplace sets a warm, enchanting atmosphere, complemented by a dining space, full kitchen, and all the comforts of heating, cooling, and a charming separate bathroom with a shower and toilet.
Wander through the lush, expansive gardens or enjoy a playful game of tennis on the half-court — the grounds are yours to explore at leisure.
Just a short stroll from the cottage, a peaceful walking track will lead you to the heart of Sassafras village, where quaint boutiques and inviting cafés await. If you're feeling adventurous, a longer wander will take you deep into the magical Sherbrooke Forest, where towering trees and winding trails are sure to steal your heart.
Of course, there’s Wi-Fi available if you need to stay connected — though we do encourage you to embrace the slower pace here. (Please note: internet and mobile reception can be a little temperamental in the Dandenong Ranges, so if you rely heavily on Wi-Fi, we suggest bringing a backup modem.)
PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to bring your pet please add him/her to the booking as there is a pet fee payable. If there is no wood and kindling provided at your property, it will be because of a Total Fire Ban day. The collecting and burning of twigs, leaves and branches from outside your property is strictly forbidden at anytime. Also please note, breakfast is mentioned as included, how it not longer is. Our apologies.

The cottage is located in beautiful grounds and is very quiet. A track at the end of the street enables you to walk down to the village and enjoy the shops and cafes. The cottage is quite spacious although you need to be aware of some steps in between rooms as it’s easy to trip over them. Although it’s got a kitchen most people wouldn’t bother bringing supplies it would be useful to have some spreads eg peanut butter or jam if your making toast for breakfast.
Beautiful chilly weekend in the mountains. It was as tranquil and promised. The cottage was so adorable and had us daydreaming about cottage life. Was also a big boon that it's pet friendly.
This was such a lovely little cottage and it has everything and so much more.
The spa and open fireplace was just what we needed.
Beautiful stained glass windows, lush gardens, and a delicious breakfast hamper too.
I wish we could live there!

Loved the place, it was great just what we needed. A little disappointed that the TV didn't work great, didn't have great reception. Also disappointed the canisters for instant coffee was left empty.
