Located in Sassafras, Clare Cottage is the perfect forest retreat for exploring the Dandenong Ranges. Relax in the giant spa bath or read a book on the back deck overlooking the tree ferns. Enjoy a romantic night in with a home cooked meal in the full kitchen (oven, gas stove top, microwave). Star gaze by the outdoor fire pit in summer or snuggle by the indoor fireplace listening to a record in winter. Both bedrooms have top of the range bedding and offer stunning tree top views. Clare Cottage is a cosy home with a touch of vintage 70’s styling. Surrounded by the forest, it’s the perfect location to switch off from the outside world. With a record player, books, board games, puzzles and a wood fire (wood included), you can have the perfect night in. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking- utensils, pots and pans, baking dishes etc. and even a soda stream for making drinks! We love the environment and have provided reusable shopping bags, keep cups, bees wax wraps etc. for you to borrow during your stay. We also have a backpack and umbrella to use for your adventures! The property has been in my family for over seven decades and my Auntie and Uncle built Clare Cottage in the early 2000’s. Clare Cottage is named after our Grandma, Clare Wositzky, who in 1961, started Amnesty International in Australia in the family home next door to Clare Cottage. I am very grateful to be able to share this magical place with you.
