Cottage holiday rentals in Koonwarra

This is an absolute gem hidden amongst the trees of Cockatoo. A beautiful wood cottage nestled in the woods, so spacious, well appointed, airy, lots of light, great in any season. Quiet but at the appropriate time, you could watch and take great pictures of the famous Puffing Billy railway making its way past Felder Station which is just a short walk away. This is a great place to make as Headquarters for exploring the Dandenong and Yarra Valley regions. We spent three nights there and it was too soon. Kane and Brook are terrific hosts and made us feel at home with little kind touches, greeting us on arrival and made us feel right at home. This is a place not to be missed. Well done and thank you so much!

Very comfortable. Enjoyed watching tv from the four poster bed, and from the spa. Also loved sitting out back watching sheep grazing. And the breakfast provided was fresh and very generous.

We had a great stay! Everything was so thoughtfully supplied, we loved the little details that the hosts left in the cottage for us. It made our stay very special and we felt very welcome.

Had a lovely stay, the area is quiet and peaceful, and the cottages are well spread out so you don't feel like you're looking into the neighbouring cottages. Loved the chickens on the property and even woke up to kangaroos relaxing outside! Would definitely recommend, thanks Norm :)

A perfect holiday. The house was comfortable with quality furniture and finishings and all the extra things that go towards creating an easy stay: cooking oil, salt & pepper, good cooking knives, extra towels for the spa, and clear instructions. We got a LOT of sleep due to the easy temperature control, quality bed and linen, absolute quiet and excellent blackout blinds. We particularly loved sitting in the spa while watching the parrots at the bird feeder.

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt incredibly cozy. One of the absolute highlights was the spa tub — the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. It was clean, spacious, and made the whole experience feel extra luxurious. The location couldn’t have been better — close to everything but still quiet enough to feel like a relaxing retreat. Shops, restaurants, and attractions were all just a short walk or drive away. Liz was also very responsive and thoughtful, making check-in seamless and the whole stay stress-free. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, and a bit of indulgence!

Amazing stay - The place has everything you could ask for. Will be recommending to people i know personally!

We had a lovely stay! The host was very nice and always responded quickly to any questions we had, which made everything smooth and easy. The location is great—it's within a kid-friendly hotel, and we were able to access the hotel facilities, which was a big plus for our family. Everyone enjoyed the stay, and we'd definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

We had such a fantastic stay. The house is so thoughtfully pieced together and Tricia was such an accomodating host. Heater on got arrival, bottle of wine from the winery next door and offered flexibility with checking in and out. Fantastic property and host!

A beautiful, relaxing and homely stay. The space was very cosy with the log fire for a wintry weekend away. Lovely extra touches with fresh farm eggs and homemade strawberry jam in the fridge for us. Thank you Madeleine for your great hospitality.

We had a pleasant stay at Nicole’s home. Great location for us and our dogs. Perfect beach for the dogs to swim. Comfy bed. Very clean home. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Nicole for sharing

A great spot just a short walk from the dog beach and the home is comfortable and a lovely spot to relax. Just note the property is not fully fenced if you are bringing a dog. Great communication and a lovely part of the world to holiday.

Loved the property. The view from the deck was a highlight. Jen was incredible host.

The cottage was comfy, well equipped, and spotless. Sue and Rob came by soon after we arrived and gave us a warm welcome. The peace and quiet was so relaxing, and the views fantastic.

Our stay at The Sweet Escape was perfect. We had a little one stay with us, and the Portacot was already set up with linen. The home is beautiful and clean, well presented with everything you could possibly need (and more!). We didn’t feel cramped at all with 4 adults and an infant. Peaceful setting, very comfortable and homey. We look forward to our next stay here!

Our favorite part of this home is that it is in a beautiful, peaceful setting. We loved sitting outside in the evenings. John and Liz were excellent hosts and very responsive with questions. Highly recommend this home!

Exactly what you want in a cottage - private, curious sheep outside the front window, a pre made fireplace so easy to get going, breakfast in the fridge to cook. Charming place, recent Reno on the bathroom all modern. Lovely host and one of the few really quiet places we could find in the area.

The accommodation was wonderful - very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed! Would definitely stay again.

Lovely place which felt like a little slice of heaven. Jo and Rob were friendly and responsive and even helped with a personal request even though they didn't have to. Their house is beautifully decorated and we had such a restful stay there.

Good and comfortable place to spend the night while exploring the Phillip Island. The house was clean. The location is also close to nearby viewpoints. Steve was very kind to keep bread, butter and coffee for the breakfast. Overall it was a great experience.

Gorgeous house, beautiful views from the balcony, and great location. Comfortable beds and well decorated in the retro style. Very responsive and friendly hosts!

Had a wonderful time staying at Cécile’s place, it was even better than the photos! The tub with a view was a definite highlight, and the location was perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway and stargazing at night. Cécile was such a thoughtful host - she left little surprises like the sparkling wine, marshmallows for the fire, and the set of bath salts :) Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy escape!

My partner and I stay here earlier this year and just had to come back to the prom for another getaway. As always it’s truly beautiful down there. Angela’s place is in a perfect location to visit all the sights and surroundings and it’s very private and peaceful. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to visit.

The perfect weekend escape! Superbly ambient cottage, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, beautiful deck and gardens. David was an immaculate host; communicative, full of local knowledge/recommendations and amazingly flexible with check-in/check-out. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
