Glenview Retreat Luxury Bed & Breakfast

“Wonderfully Peaceful”

We have just returned from a few days at Glenview Retreat. Quiet and peaceful location and a great getaway for us, especially being able to take our dog too! The weather was warm, so the ceiling fan plus air conditioning was very welcome. There is also a fire which I imagine would make it very cozy in Winter. Breakfast supplies were generous, with cereals, bacon and eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, bread, butter and spreads - even pancake mix! There was also a coffee pod machine & selection of teas - oh and treats for our dog too! Walks in the nearby forest and to Emerald Lake kept our pooch happy and tired.

“The best place to stay with our dog, for my surprise birthday long weekend!”

My husband, Steve, booked the Magnolia Cottage for four nights, as a birthday surprise. As it was our first time away since our honeymoon, I had high expectations and the cottage didn't disappoint.

My husband, Steve, booked the Magnolia Cottage for four nights, as a birthday surprise. As it was our first time away since our honeymoon, I had high expectations and the cottage didn't disappoint. Best of all, our 3-year-old dog, Harley, was welcomed and able to come with us. We loved staying at the cottage. It was cosy, comfortable and super relaxing, with a good sized fully fenced courtyard. I loved the cottage - the decorations, the kitchen, the bed, the spa (although the weather was too hot for us to use this), the robes, the breakfast provisions and the champagne and chocolate. Everything was thought out - even Harley's personalised doggy treats! Although it was 39 degrees outside, the fan and air-conditioning were enough to keep us all cool - even our Tibetan Terrier dog. The location is perfect - we used the cottage as a base to explore Emerald (Emerald village, Emerald Lake Park, Gembrook markets, Olinda and the Yarra Valley). I loved hearing and seeing the native birds in the mornings and feeling relaxed in a natural bush setting. We will definitely be back again.

“Well appointed, very comfortable and great location”

We stayed at Glenview Retreat for one night in January 2021 - our one night away for the past year! As others have said, particularly for pet friendly accommodation, Glenview is absolutely excellent.

We stayed at Glenview Retreat for one night in January 2021 - our one night away for the past year! As others have said, particularly for pet friendly accommodation, Glenview is absolutely excellent. It is incredibly well appointed, very comfortable, has a spa, lovely outdoor area for people and pets (it rained the whole time we were there so couldn't make the best use of this), and very generous breakfast provisions. The bootie of wine is also a very nice touch. It's a great location close to walks and a short drive to other parts of the Dandenongs and Yarra Valley, and restaurants and a great general store a few minutes away. We brought our dog and it was so nice to stay in a pet friendly place that was also nice for the humans. We will definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

“Not my style”

We were so looking forward to this stay. We drove into a driveway to a house and saw the 2 car spots and cabin on the left. We both looked at each other and said “well let’s hope the room is good” The 5 stairs up, both rooms are side by side and were greeted by “oh I’ve just washed the floors you m… Plus

We were so looking forward to this stay. We drove into a driveway to a house and saw the 2 car spots and cabin on the left. We both looked at each other and said “well let’s hope the room is good” The 5 stairs up, both rooms are side by side and were greeted by “oh I’ve just washed the floors you must be early” Well yes we were 5 minutes early to arrival time. We dried the floors with a towel as we had to get ready for an event. As it was definitely not ideal to sit out on the front decking we looked out the back and with the house over looking and neighbours looking into the not so secluded court yard, so we stayed in. All in all it was clean and tidy but not a “retreat” that I have stayed at, more of a bed and breakfast. As it felt like more of a bungalow at Nan’s situation. The kitchenette and food supplied to make our own breakfast I thought was great.
