A spacious indoor dining area provides for romantic and party functions with an out door terrace for more relaxed occasions.

Surrounding Facilities

Situated between Olinda and Monbulk you have access to the restaurants and bars of Olinda village and the staples provided by Monbulk township. Within a short 10 min drive the township of Kallista also supports a number of casual dining opportunities. For off the beaten track dining the area is scattered with small restaurants and bars eager to please and with excellent food and aromatic coffee.

Slightly further afield is Sassafras which is a major tourist centre hosting a depth of activities and dining with dining from pancakes and scones to gourmet food though please check the times of opening as most of Sassafras closes early in the afternoon.

For longer stays the more mundane shopping is available in Monbulk with a full service supermarket so you will never be short of the necessities.


Parks and Gardens

With a short drive you you can feed the birds at Grants picnic ground in Kallista, this is a massively popular treat for foreign tourists and a must see for anyone travelling into the hills. The national park adjacent to Grants is a temperate rainforest with an amazing diversity of wildlife and birds from wallabies to lyre birds, a quiet walk down the paths surrounded by towering gums will always surprise.

Situated in Olinda the "National Rhododendron Gardens" are host to brilliantly coloured blooms of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, cherries and daffodils. Seasonal changes ensure the gardens are a delight all year around. When not in bloom, you can still soak in the beauty of rich bark textures, seed capsules, foliage shapes and beautiful fragrance as you stroll through the grounds.

Just past Olinda you will find William Ricketts Sanctuary the perfect setting for the blending of the natural and spiritual realms. It is a place of beauty and tranquillity displaying sculptures of Aboriginal figures set in the natural environment of the Dandenong ranges.

Perfect city escape
We found this little gem of a property when looking for a central location to explore the neighbouring towns and Mount Dandenong Ranges. The place was spacious and perfectly located - only a short drive to some beautiful locations such as Emerald Lake Park, Silvan Reservoir, Olinda Tea House, Sassafrass, 1000 Steps, Sky High Mount Dandenong... the list is endless! We CANNOT SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH of our host Joanne, who went far and above our expectations in terms of communication and going well out of her way to ensure our stay would be a memorable one. There are just not enough words to express our gratitude for all that she provided, all off her own accord. Joanna and her property will be top of our list when we next plan a mini escape to the region. Impressions are lasting!!

Wonderful Property and Outstanding Host!
We booked the property for a post wedding stay in 'The Hills'. The property didn't disappoint. Cosy inside and magic gardens outside. Jo, the host did a wonderful job and went above and beyond. Highly recommended!

Great property in a fantastic location
We had a great stay at Pine Hill which was perfect for our group of two couples attending a wedding nearby. We were very impressed by the host's attention to detail and the garden was amazing.
