Domains

Situated just outside of Melbourne, the Dandenong Ranges, often referred to as "The Domains," offer a serene escape into nature. Explore the lush trails of the Dandenong Ranges National Park, where the towering trees and vibrant ferns create a picturesque backdrop. Don’t miss the charming village of Sassafras, known for its quaint tea rooms and eclectic shops. For a bit of adventure, visit the Puffing Billy Railway, a historic steam train that winds through the lush landscape. The area is walkable, particularly around Olinda and Kallista, both of which are dotted with beautiful gardens and galleries. When planning your stay, look for accommodations in these neighborhoods for a cozy, local experience.
