4BR Dandenong Ranges retreat with CBD views, fireplace, near Sky High. Sleeps 8. | House in Mount Dandenong
4 Bedroom House in Mount Dandenong
Some properties have a view. Sky Ridge Vista has the kind of view that stops you at the door. Set at elevation in the Dandenong Ranges, this four-bedroom home looks out over a sweep of native treetops directly to the Melbourne CBD skyline — a sight that feels genuinely unlikely until you're standing in front of it. Native birds call from the garden below. The air is cooler and quieter than the city you left behind. You've arrived somewhere worth being.
THE PROPERTY
Sky Ridge Vista sleeps up to 8 guests across four beautifully styled bedrooms, each with its own distinct character. The home is warm, considered, and designed for groups who want to be together without being on top of each other — families, ladies retreats, and bridal parties who value space, comfort, and a setting that photographs as beautifully as it feels to be in. Every room features original Australian wildlife artwork by local Dandenong Ranges artists — kookaburras, lyrebirds, and bush birds rendered in vivid, large-format canvases that connect the interiors to the landscape just beyond the windows. Plush curtains and sheers dress the main bedrooms, adding warmth and a sense of occasion that lifts the whole property above a typical holiday rental.
SHOP THE STAY
If you fall in love with any of the artwork, vases, or floral interior pieces you encounter during your stay, many are available to purchase and take home. Simply message us and we'll take care of it — a lovely way to bring a piece of the Ranges back with you.
BEDROOMS
The Skyline Suite on the upper level is the property's premier room — a king bed dressed in premium linen, plush curtains and sheers framing the garden outlook, and sweeping Melbourne CBD treetop views from the moment you open your eyes. Blackout blinds and a sculptural organic-modern vanity complete the picture.
The Kookaburra Queen is the most photogenic room in the house — a dusty rose velvet tufted bedhead, crisp white linen, plush curtains, and a large-format kookaburra canvas above the bed. The Emerald Retreat offers a deep forest green velvet bedhead, moody botanical styling, plush curtains and sheers, and direct access to the lower-level bathroom. The Magpie Nest features a single bed with trundle sleeping two on adult-weight mattresses, warm terracotta walls, a block-out blind, and a magpie artwork — the most versatile and welcoming room for families with children or extra guests.
BATHROOMS
Two full bathrooms serve the property. The upper-level bathroom features a timber benchtop, walk-in glass shower, and garden outlook. The lower-level bathroom is a standout — a fluted timber vanity with round vessel basin, large organic-shaped timber mirror, and charcoal grey floor tiles. Both bathrooms are stocked with fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, and toilet paper — everything included from the moment you arrive.
LIVING SPACES AND COMFORT
The heart of the home is the open living and dining area, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that earns its keep through every Ranges season. Central heating and cooling runs throughout the property, keeping every room at exactly the right temperature regardless of what the Ranges weather decides to do — and at 633 metres above sea level, it can surprise you. On a cold evening with the fire going and the heating on, there is genuinely nowhere more comfortable to be. The retro 1950s red kitchen with teal splashback is a conversation piece in its own right — fully equipped for the group to cook together without anyone feeling squeezed. A selection of basic cooking essentials — including salt, pepper, and oil — are provided as a courtesy, so your first meal doesn't require a supermarket run. The living spaces connect naturally to the outdoor entertaining area, where the CBD skyline view is at its most spectacular at dusk.
OUTDOORS AND WILDLIFE
The garden is surrounded by mature native trees and visited daily by Dandenong Ranges wildlife — kookaburras, magpies, rosellas, and the occasional wallaby. Iconic Australian lyrebirds are known to visit the property grounds — one of the most remarkable wildlife encounters the Ranges offers and something many visitors to the area never get to witness up close.
SUNSET — THE MOMENT THAT STAYS WITH YOU
As the day draws to a close, the CBD skyline view transforms into something else entirely. Every sunset here is different — the light shifts, the colours change, and the horizon does something new each evening that is genuinely difficult to put into words. It's the kind of view that stops conversation, that makes you set your glass down, that touches something deeper than you expected from a weekend away. As evening falls, owls call from the surrounding canopy and frogs chorus from the garden below, a natural soundtrack that reminds you just how far removed you are from the city, even though Melbourne is only 35 minutes away.
THE AREA
The Yarra Ranges and Dandenong Ranges offer some of Victoria's most beautiful day trip territory — Puffing Billy, the Dandenong Ranges National Park, Sassafras cafes, Olinda galleries, and the William Ricketts Sanctuary are all within a short drive. Melbourne CBD is approximately 35 minutes away, making this an ideal base for groups who want the feeling of being away without being too far from the city.
