Boyanda – Historic Dandenong Ranges Retreat with Stunning Garden Views

Discover Boyanda, a historic Ferny Creek retreat with breathtaking views, elegant interiors, and the perfect setting for romantic escapes and celebrations.

“The view, the view…” — the words most guests find themselves repeating as they arrive at Boyanda. Set amongst three acres of magnificent established gardens in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges, Boyanda is a character-filled historic home offering a peaceful escape near Olinda and Sassafras.

Rich in charm and timeless appeal, Boyanda welcomes guests with elegant period details, antique furnishings, and warm country-style interiors that reflect the home’s history and character. The spacious open-plan living and dining area is designed for gathering together, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, comfortable seating spaces, and beautiful garden outlooks that change with the seasons. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to enjoy relaxed meals and long conversations while soaking in the tranquil surrounds.

Ideal for families and small groups, the downstairs level offers four comfortable bedrooms. The master bedroom includes an ensuite and calming garden views, while two queen bedrooms and a twin bedroom provide flexible accommodation for up to eight guests. A large downstairs recreation space invites guests to slow down and reconnect — whether over board games, quiet reading, or an evening spent beside the fire.

Perfectly positioned just a short drive from the villages of Olinda and Sassafras, Boyanda is an ideal base for exploring the Dandenong Ranges’ gardens, walking trails, boutique shops, cafes, and local attractions. Yet many guests find the greatest joy simply staying in — wandering the gardens with a cup of tea, listening to the birdlife, or enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this much-loved historic home.
