Aquila Nova Retreat  

Tucked into the Dandenong Ranges near Sassafras and Kallista, this luxury bed & breakfast sits minutes from Dandenong Ranges National Park and a short drive from the Puffing Billy steam train and local picnic reserves.

Tudor-charm meets modern comfort in just two individually styled suites — think hand-painted murals, gilt mirrors and open fireplaces. Rooms feature pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, private furnished balconies overlooking rainforest, in-room spa baths or private hot tubs, and kitchenettes with full-size fridges, stovetops and microwaves.

Pamper with onsite massages, soak in jetted tubs or step onto your balcony for misty rainforest mornings. Property highlights include a terrace and established flowering garden, picnic and barbecue areas, walking tracks at the doorstep, and in-room entertainment like large LED TVs and DVD players.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected and free self parking is available onsite; the property also has elevator access for convenience.

Wake up to a complimentary self-serve breakfast each morning and unwind later at the on-site restaurant and bar — or simply enjoy a glass of wine on your balcony while taking in the views.
