Local Attractions and Services -

Our Dandenong Ranges accommodation offers the perfect base to see all the attractions that the Dandenongs have to offer.

The Dandenong Ranges are a set of mountain ranges, rising to 633 metres at Mount Dandenong, east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The Dandenong Ranges is home to Gracehill Accommodation, which is located opposite the R.J. Hamer Arboretum, and not too far from local cafes, restaurants, including the famous Cuckoo in Olinda, and other attractions such as the popular Puffing Billy railway a favourite with adults and children alike, antique and craft shops, and numerous art galleries, showcasing local, national, and international artists, in such areas as sculpture and painting.

The Dandenong Ranges is also home to The William Ricketts Sanctuary which is a unique place of beauty and tranquility with ceramic sculptures woven into the surrounding rock, ferns and Mountain Ash of the Dandenong Ranges. The artwork blends into the eucalyptus forest artistically expressing a deeply felt spiritual connection with our land.

Other attractions near Gracehill Bed and Breakfast Accommodation include the Olinda public golf course, swimming pool, and the National Rhododendron Garden. There is also the Olinda State Forest with numerous lookouts and mountain walking tracks through the R.J Hamer Arboretum which is opposite Gracehill Accommodation. Close by the summit of the mountain sits the SkyHigh Mt. Dandenong restaurant, with gardens and maze, offering spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay, the city of Melbourne and surrounding areas.
