Risehill House  

In leafy Kalorama, this spacious mountain-view vacation home sits close to Olinda Falls, William Ricketts Sanctuary and Singleton Reserve. It’s about 20 miles from Dandenong Train Station and 21 miles from Chadstone Shopping Mall; Melbourne Cricket Ground and Princess Theater are roughly 24 miles away, with Essendon Fields Airport about 29 miles.

Five bedrooms and a roomy living area give this place a relaxed, homely vibe with warm décor and mountain views from the balcony and terrace. The house includes a flat-screen TV (and DVD player), an equipped kitchen, one bathroom with bath and shower, towels and bed linen, plus private check-in/out and luggage storage for easy arrivals.

Enjoy free private parking, an outdoor dining area and barbecue facilities set in a garden perfect for mornings of fresh mountain air. Practical touches include ironing/press services and on-site parking—great for groups or multi-car stays.

There’s an on-site restaurant for sit-down meals, and plenty of al fresco options with the outdoor dining and barbecue area for casual, make-it-yourself feasts.
