About this property

Boyanda At Ferny Creek - A wonderfully historic home with amazing views over the bays and sparkling lights.

The view, the view. They are the only words you'll be able to articulate when you arrive at Boyanda. As you enter this sophisticated and historic country home you will be greeted by panoramic views over the valley and the twinkling lights of the city.

Elegant in its design style with antique pieces throughout, this beautifully appointed property offers a spacious open plan living and dining area with a wood burning fire, an abundance of seating options, and a fully equipped kitchen with views over the gardens.
Ideal for families or small groups, the downstairs area has four bedrooms, the master with an en-suite bathroom and views out to the gardens, the second and third bedrooms with queen beds and a fourth bedroom with twin beds.

Perfectly located only a short drive away from the townships of Sassafras and Olinda and local attractions, Boyanda is a great base for exploring everything the Dandenongs has to offer. Or if you prefer to stay in and relax at your accommodation, you can choose to snuggle in front of the fire with a good book, enjoy a board game in the large downstairs recreation space or have afternoon tea in the 3 acres of established garden.

(Do note that internet and phone reception in the Dandenong Ranges can be unstable and please understand we have no control over that. If you rely on wifi please bring a backup modem).

PLEASE NOTE: The lighting of wood burning fires in properties will be prohibited from the beginning of the declared fire danger season (normally mid December) to the end of February. It is also prohibited on all days of Total Fire Ban at any time of the year. Please see www.cfa.vic.gov.au/home If there is no wood and kindling provided at your property, it will be because of this policy. The collecting and burning of twigs, leaves and branches from outside your property is strictly forbidden at anytime.

Boyanda luxury stay
Beautiful property with expansive mature garden and views. Presents as shown in photography. Plenty of room for our adult family of 6 to enjoy a relaxing weekend in this luxury home. Lovely comfortable beds, slept soundly, thick fluffy towels and a tasty breakfast hamper. Perfectly located in Ferny Creek, with easy driving access to local cafes, restaurants and other amenities. Enjoyed a local walk and lunch, before a family wedding on the Saturday evening. Plenty of room for all to get ready. A very enjoyable weekend.

This house is great if you can get in.
Three important things to know about this house are that the door lock is electric, that the area suffers frequent power outages and that the agent cannot help you get into the house during a power outage. These things spoilt our weekend at Boyanda. We have stayed at too many short stay accommodation places to count, and this is the first time we have left a negative review. At check-in time, we had to call the agent (Valley Ranges Getaways) to be able to find the key safe. Then we door would not unlock. Eventually Valley Ranges Getaways arranged other accommodation for us to be able to prepare for the wedding we were due to attend ( to which we arrived rather stressed!) Eventually, Valley Ranges Getaways worked out that power outage was the cause of us not being able to access Boyanda, but told us the only access option was to wait until the power was restored. The agent had advised us prior to the stay that the power was unreliable and we should be prepared for this. They did not tell us that, if you leave the house, you should be prepared that you may not get back in! Fortunately, it is a great house to spend a weekend in. We think Valley Ranges Getaways should have worked with the owners to allow guests safe access to the house when the power goes out. When we put this to Valley Ranges Getaways, they did not agree and neither apologised for the inconvenience nor offered any goodwill gesture.

Outstanding stay in the Dandenong Ranges
What a magnificent weekend!!! Boyanda is a beautiful property with beautiful grounds and a wonderful, gracious older style home. The views were fabulous. The living area upstairs was elegant and spacious with a gorgeous fire to add to the ambience. Kitchen was modern and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were exactly as described; they were spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. There was also a large living area downstairs so plenty of room for a family to spread out if needed. We will come back here in a heartbeat if we are ever staying in the area again.

a place of tranquility
"Boyanda" Ferny Creek was perfect for our family get together. As first time visitors to the Dandenong area it was well worth the visit.

Good experience
Opened our eyes to another open to host small team get away which has been a positive experience. Loved the location of this property especially the near vicinity to Belgrave town and Porsepina bakery.
