    What a romantic place to stay for our first two nights together as husband and wife in the sanctuary tower (three levels of pure luxury).

    The room, the spa, the bed and the breakfast were pure bliss.

    Most of all the hosts Alex and Lisa made us feel so very welcome.

    We will recomend linden gardens to all our family and friends and will hopefully return for every wedding anniversary.

    Five stars without a doubt.

    Walking into our suite, we feel like we have found our dream home.

    Beautiful and comfortable decor, we instantly feel at home and welcome. As we explore our “tower” we feel in complete luxury. Everything we expected and wished for has been met plus beyond our wildest imagination.

    Each room we explore proves to be better than the last.

    Our relationship has re-connected as we cuddle in front of the log fire and unique spa, looking out at the spectacular views. Our minds wonder with all the possibilities of life.

    We came, we stayed and we lelt paradise a completely different couple… we leave more in love than we where before.

    I chose Linden Gardens as the place I was to awake on my 50th Birthday. I was not disappointed. The room was beautiful with log fires, a spa , luxury bathrobes, wine, chocolates, DVD selection in a wonderful restful rainforest setting.
    A massage service was also available and the facial /massage combination was perfect. Linden Gardens also offered a single night stay with a price that was still affordable. A wonderful experience all round.

    Absolutely beautiful! I stayed in the Sanctuary Tower with my partner and it was so luxurious and romantic. Everything was perfect from the gorgeous surrounds, amazing deep spa bath with complimentary pamper pack, delicious complimentary breakfast, comfortable king size bed, great range of dvd’s to the excellent accomodating yet non intrusive service… I could go on and on. I can’t wait to go back and stay in the other cottages.

    We have stayed at Linden Gardens twice now - in different rooms each time. Linden Gardens is a beautiful romantic place and we oth love staying there. We have 3 children and it was just a wonderful and romantic getaway for both of us. We hopefully will come back and stay a few days when we get married. We couldn’t think of a better place to spend oujr honeymoon. The breakfasts are to die for.

    Really nice place, Awesome people. I left most pillow cases fluorescent pink (due to my hair at the time) and they were fine :) The gardens are one in a million, you can get lost in the beauty of them.
    It was great to learn the brief history of the building as well

    So many amazing things I could say about Linden gardens. We stayed there last week in the very awful, rainy weather - and there couldn’t be a nicer place to be locked up in doors in. I stayed in Sanctuary Tower and it was absolutly gorgeous. Between the amazing spa bath, the in-room massage, big screen TV, huge range of DVDs, relaxing music supplied, snuggly fire place, board games supplied, big bottle of sparkling wine and the yummo brekkie - what more could we have wanted? My boyfriend and I have been raving about it ever since and will definitly be coming back to try one of their other rooms. Do yourself a favour and go visit :)

    linden Gardens was a delight from start to finish. The hosts Lisa & Alex weer friendly and very helpful, yet allowed us complete privacy. We were in our own little world - candles, fire, spa…it was everything I had wished for. We had dinner booked fr us at The Wild Oak, which was divine. The only problem…..was leaving! We shall return, but next time fro a long weekend and massage. Thank you! Hihgly recommended.

    Wonderfully romantic retreat, with beautiful furniture and decor, complemented by leafy views from the panoramic windows. Each room is situated to ensure privacy. In-house massage provided by skilled masseurs helped us to get right into relaxation mode. There were some really nice touches such as like bathrobes, bath oils, chocolates and champagne that made us feel well pampered.

    After ten years with three very young children and a very traumatic marriage separation, I finally met someone with whom I could spend a very romantic peaceful weekend away with. It had been a very long time since I had some purely me time. It was rejuvenating, relaxing and restored a little faith back in me on the fact that life can still be wonderful, romantic, secluded and very precious. Thank you Linden Gardens.

    My daughter organised for my husband and I to stay here as a surprise for my 60th birthday :) And what a WONDERFUL surprise it was! From the moment we walked in the room, we felt rejuvinated and relaxed in the Dandenongs.
    The views were sublime, and the surroundings were breathtaking.
    The cottage was SO inviting and warm, and we felt RIGHT at home :) It was cosy, and romantic, and I could NOT find enough words to describe just how beautiful it all was. When it was time to leave, we wished we could stay another night, but we vowed to each other that the night there surely wouldn’t be our last, and we can’t WAIT to go back again soon! :)

    My Husband and I spent our Wedding night at Linden Gardens and we could not have chosen a better place.
    The furniture and delicate special touches were Indulgent. On offer was a full range of services… Phone, Television, DVD, Music, Games, Wines, Nibbles etc
    Not to mention the Spa and all the items you could need to go along with it… Bath oils, Loofah, bath puff, soaps, bath salts etc.
    It was beautifully heated and the views of the Rainforest were breath taking.
    The wonderful staff treated us so well and were so friendly and eager to please.
    The choice of fully cooked breakfast delivered to the room was gourmet and delivered at your requested time. It was PERFECT and we cannot wait to visit again. Highly Recommended. 5 stars.

    Absolute luxury! We had a wonderful weekend in the Linden Cottage. We wanted for nothing- everything was provided and everything was beautifully executed. We loved the big screen TV and sound system. Having the ambient music playing upon our arrival was a particularly nice touch and put us in the right mood from the start! The breakfast was delicious and we also enjoyed the chocolates! A place of sheer luxury and beauty!

    Our stay at the Linden Garden Cottage was absolute perfection. Everything had been thought of, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. My partner and I stayed the weekend of our 4th anniversary and Linden Gardens made it such a memorable experience. Our hosts were so lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The surrounding gardens not only made the setting around us so very beautiful but made us feel there was not another soul for miles. The room itself was warm and wonderfully romantic. Linden Gardens has set a benchmark so high no other place we have ever stayed has even come close. We look forward to staying with you again.

    Not only is Linden Gardens set amidst absolutely gorgeous rainforest, the suites themselves are just beautiful. We stayed for a long weekend break from work, and had the most amazing time.
    The facilities in the suite meant that we really did not need to leave the tower at all.
    The three levels were beautifully decorated, and we especially loved the soft and comforting couches.
    The in-room breakfast and treatments ensured complete relaxation, and the fact that we could not hear or see any other guests on the property made it feel so much more secluded and like our own private hideaway.
    Service was fantastic, and my difficult dietary intolerances were catered to well and without fuss. We love Linden Gardens, and would highly recommend it as a relaxing, romantic retreat.

    The view of the secret garden out the back of our room was magnificent, the design,furniture and architecture of the building was a credit to the new owners and they should be congratulated for making our stay one of the loveliest I have experienced in a long time. In this fast paced world of no customer service and everyone is just a number this accommodation was a breathe of fresh air. Congratulations Lisa and Alex keep up the great work and you will flourish over all the others. See you again soon. Matthew Wright

    We spent our second night of our Honey moon here, loving the stunning views of the Forest, its bright and olive greens reflecting into our rooms. The little paths falling down the hill, meandering upwards again lit by the moon, and the calls of the bellbirds ringing through the valley. We were warm and cosey, thoroughly indulged with local wines, delicious nibbles and a hot scrummy breakfast in the morning. It was like being in the trees without borders, gorgeous hot tubs of bubbling water shared with my Dearest, and the best of linen, personal treats and warm hosts who were happy to receive feedback.

    What attracted me to Linden Gardens was the fact that it had once been a nursery. I was not disapointed. The old world garden was a delight to be in. the modern and stylish accomodation blended into this garden. Awakening on the third level and looking out the window I felt I had slept in the floweing tree tops. The rhodoendrums were beautiful.

    My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon in Feb 08 and it was everything we could have asked for. The service was impeccable, the location was gorgeous, private and so romantic, our every request was taken care of promptly and professionally from the moment we booked through to checking out…
    I have recommended it to friends for a romantic weekend and I will be coming back, maybe for a second honeymoon…
    Thank you

    My partner and I stayed at Linden Gardens to escape the drab city for winter. It was beautiful. The room was cosy and clean, the bed was fantastic and there was great wildlife right outside our window. The breakfast was home-made and delicious. The best weekend away we have ever experienced.

    My partner(Anthony) and I wish to nominate the Linden Garderns because not only does it make you unwind, let your hair down and feel extremely relaxed but it allows you for just one moment enjoy the tranquility of such a peaceful and beautiful rainforest. Linden Gardens made our experience heightened with the thoughtful chocolates and wine, fun games for two, great selection of DVD’s, extremely comfortable bed with spectacular sunrise views! And not to mention a wonderfulyl cooked breakfast! It was a really beautiful and unforgetable experience. We surely will never forget…

    The attention to detail at Linden Gardens is second to none. Both times we have been there, my partner and I have enjoyed a relaxing and romantic time. The owners Alex and Lisa have made the most of a truly beautiful location. To sit in a spa with a warm fireplace nearby, in a room full of ambience, beautiful decor and look over some of the countrys most beautiful forest is a real treat.

    Linden cottage came highly recommended to me by my son who had taken his girl friend there for her 21st and shouted his granparents a night there. All loved it, so i surprised my husband with a stay there for our 30th anniversary.We found the whole experience just
    wonderful from the friendly service to the little extra things like the bubble bath and wine. In fact hubby surprised me with a stay there for our next anniversary ! Yes i’m hoping it may become our tradition to spend each anniversary there.

    Linden Gardens was selected by our adult children and their families as a surprise present for us.
    Our stay was great from the moment of the friendly welcome right through to the wonderful cooked breakfast the following morning.
    We enjoyed every aspect including the complimentary Cheese, Fruit and Wine, chocolates here and there throughout the suite, the spa, general privacy, waking up amongst the tree tops and our stroll through the garden.
    Add to this our choice of Dinner at one of the many local restaurants and the next day a stroll around many of the local shops and you have a complete and enjoyable experience.

    Absolutely a dream!

    Perfect location in beautiful surroundings: we had the gorgeous 3 storey tower all to ourselves! The hosts were more than helpful and always close by if you needed anything.

    We couldn’t believe the detail in the furnishings! There was a unique and earthy vibe that harmonized with the Dandenong Mountains. Then there’s the spa bath, fire, huge soft beds and massive couches, the latest DVDs, kitchen, internet connection…. even a compilation of local area and restaurant information for us to peruse at our own time. And a delicious freshly cooked breakfast (served at a time WE chose!) - what a way to start the day!

    We didn’t want to leave! We had to beg for another night!

    A luxurious and relaxing retreat that we will DEFINITELY be returning to!

    Linden Gardens is just heaven!
    My hubby needed to recharge his batteries (workaholic!) and our weekend at Linden Gardens was THE perfect answer!
    We stayed in winter and enjoyed so many luxuries we don’t know where to start! Just loved the fireplace, sunken spa, cozy couches, comfy bed, 5 Star perfectly yummy breakfast, stainglass windows, DVD’s, champas & cheese on arrival …..all with a peaceful rainforest on the doorstep. Owners (Alex & Lisa) are wonderful Hosts - extremely helpful and caring, yet unobtrusive.
    It was definitely hard to leave, as we had indulged in such a relaxing weekend….can’t wait to visit again!

    We decided to get away for the weekend and came across Linden Gardens Rainforest Retreat and couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. The tree-house surrounded by lush green tress and beautiful flowers was an amazing experience, not to mention the service was of high standards.
    We can not wait to get back out there for another tranquil weekend. We recommend this luxurious retreat to all.
    Thanks Linden Gardens for a fabulous experience.

    Our stay in the garden retreat was wonderful.

    Lisa and Alex have thought of everything needed to create a truly relaxing and indulgent retreat. The setting is amazing and features such as the king bed and spa made our stay very relaxing. Extra features like the collection of new release DVDs, full list of menus for restaurants in the area, cosy throw rugs and dressing gowns made us feel at home.

The hot breakfast was fantastic and we could not finish all the food provided. Staff were friendly, approachable and attentive. We will definitely come back again to stay and have recommended it to others.

    Afternoon!
    Why wouldn’t i vote. You have to stay! Linden Garden Retreat is a world of it’s own. Each cottage is different to suit the individual, romantic setting, gorgeous lush surroundings, gift stores and shops close by, birds and the gentle breeze, gorgeous spa, wine and special treatment. James and I felt very comfortable and enjoyed every moment and are looking at heading back during the winter months. You can sit back and take it all in, relax in the spa over a glass of wine and enjoy the surroundings without the interuption of the outside world. Turn in to a large bedroom which we could easily become lost in, waking up to the sunshine and 180 degree scenary surrounding us. I recommend Linden Gardend’s to everyone, and that they should make the time to stay for at least one night, to experience what we have experienced and many others.

    We arrived at Linden Gardens after some intensive overtime tired and in desperate need of time out. Which we got its amazing how two days in bliss and comfort can leave you energised and ready to take on the world. We want to try all the rooms on our return to Victoria. Luxury and unobtrusive service. A perfect little getaway.

    Just came home from the most relaxing 4 days away imaginable. We stayed in the tower and it was pure bliss! The bed was big and luxurious, the couch was soft and comfy and the spa was the perfect touch!
    It was amazing to wake up to the views of the forest each morning. The included breakfast was yum! Alex and Lisa were the perfect hosts, unobtrusive, there if needed for anything.
    They have done a great job and their little touches were what made it so perfect, from the personally delivered breakfasts to the mini torches on the keys to find your way.
    Thank you so very much! we will definitely be recommending this place to all!

    We stayed at Linden Gardens earlier this year and can’t wait to go back again. It was such a romantic way to spend time together. We were very impressed with the decor, fine details and wish they would cook brekkie for us everyday. As soon as you walked through the door - you felt like you were in another world. We loved the whole experience, being able to retreat in the gorgeous cottage and be secluded in the rainforest or venture out and enjoy the local restaurants. We also thought it was great to only be a short drive from Sky High, to view Melbourne at night time was amazing. Far North Queensland

    Our stay at Linden Gardens was the most relaxing and memerable weekend away. We did nothing but stayed in our cosy room and watched DVDs sat by the fire and relaxed in the spa. The food provided was so yummy we could not get enough. The home style breakfast was so satisfying. We enjoyed every mininute of our stay and would recoment it to anyone who lives a fast pace life who just wants to forget about the hussel and bussel of our busy days and feel as if they are in another world. What a stay we will never forget. The surroundings were peaceful and tranquil. I recommend LINDEN GARDENS RETREAT to anyone!!!!

    cant begin to say how beautiful it was staying at lindens…..between the complementary wine, the yummy breakie and and all the bathroom goodies you receive from them, the actual accomadation was amazing…..to get out of melbourne for the weekend (or longer), for honey-mooners, for anybody who just wants to relax and feel pamperd and gorgoeus on holiday…lindens is the place to go, recomend it to everyone i know….lisa and alex the owners just add to the charm of the place…they were wonderful. The surroundings on the grounds of lindens were brilliant aswel as the villages and towns located just around the corner…….cant think of any appropriate words that could do it justice right now…..my partner and i loved it to bits!…

    The room felt very private in layout and being surrounded by gardens. The linen and bed was very luxurious, we had slipper and fluffy gowns and a range of bath paper products provided along with complimentary wine and chocolates. The layout of the lounge area was very homely, with books, things to do in the area, and a good selection of DVD’s. The reception and checkout friendliness was great. Would definately recommend. A lovely tranquil getaway. Fresh, clean, comfortable and quiet, with cosy decor.

    Our wedding night was made extra special by the impeccable service, and wonderful setting. We were awoken the following morning with a fabulous breakfast and a lovely cheese platter and bottle of wine later in the afternoon. The spa was also an added bonus!

    Would recommend to anyone and will plan a return visit the next time we’re in Vic.

    The first step into the luxury tower, we were taken away by the interior decor, the Santuary Tower is fantastic. Breakfast was superb and waking up in the morning towards a private view of the forest is absolutely breath taking. The best is probably the ground level intimate spa and that each level had a radio/cd player. I would definitely recommend Linden Gardens to family and friends and will even come back with my husband soon!!!

    Good job Alex and Lisa!

    My fiance and I stayed at Linden Gardens in January 2008. Without exception it was 5 star. The setting is amazing. All of the quality touches like the bathrobes, DVDs etc made out stay. Also the whole place was comfy and very relaxing. We’d particularly like to thank Lisa and Alex for their hospitality. Lisa dropped us off (and picked us up) from a wine tour and they were most helpful with directions (and when we didn’t need them, they discreetly disappeared into the background so we could enjoy our romantic time away together. If you haven’t stayed with them … what are you waiting for???

    The perfect secluded rainforest retreat snuggled amongst the tall trees of Mt Dandenong.
    We were treated extremely well with the complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates and kind service.
    Our large breakfast on both mornings were absolutely mouth watering.
    The breakfast ,deep bubbly warm spa, woodfire heating, large windows looking into the forest and big TV entertainment were the highlights of the stay.
    Romantic stroll to Pig and whistle restaurant about 1km was a nice touch.
    We highly recommend a couple of romantic nights at Linden Gardens!

    We spent 2 awesome nights at Linden Gardens in the Garden Retreat room during our honeymoon in May 08. Lisa and Alex were helpful yet we were left to enjoy the luxury of our room and we certainly retreated to the spa, lounges and king size bed at every opportunity. This was the perfect romantic place to stay for us at this special time and we would love to go back and try the other retreats available. I must also make special mention of the breakfast which was delicious and plentiful. Our massage was excellent as were the added extras.

    Linden Gardens is a 5 star retreat there is no doubt about it! Since first placing my feet in the door i have stayed there ever since. Every year i go back there each time with a different boyfriend (shh they dont have to know) . It s like all my stress from work and everyday living is left behind and i relax in this rain forrest haven. A weekend of amazing food, nice people, magical rain forrest and those in house massages just top it off after relaxing in my over sized white robe they provide (i dont even take it off) . I have recommended friends family and even random strangers to this place as it is the best thing my money can buy me.

    Thakn you Linden Gardens and ill see you next year!

    My fiancee and I have stayed at Linden Gardens a number of times, staying in the Garden Retreat and the Sanctuary Tower. It is like your own piece of hevan! There rooms are not only beautiful but the service is fantastic. Whilst staying at the Sanctuary Tower we had a relaxing couples massage that we enjoyed thoroughly. Linden Gardens is a great weekend getaway for couples, A spa, a fireplace & breakfeast delivered to your door, what more could you want! The surrondings are peaceful and there is plenty to do around the area. We would go back to Linden Gardens and recommend them to anyone looking for a relaxing & romantic getaway. Linden Gardens, you get 5 stars from us

    My husband and I spent a weekend at Linden Gardens to celebrate our wedding anniversary. At the time I was heavily pregnant with twins. Our stay at Linden Gardens was extremely comfortable and a wonderfully relaxing way to spend our anniversary while I was not in a state to get out and about much.
    Breakfast also was fantastic, being delivered to our room each morning.

    Loved it.

    Linden Gardens was recommended by a friend based on her hunt for a nice romantic place to stay. Without waiting for her to visit we booked in for a weekend based on the pictures on the internet, and we were far from disappointed.
    Every step of the journey was amazing, from the spa and inviting fire, onto the comfy lounge, tv and DVD collection and complimentary sparkling wine, with the added touch of chocolates, and finally to the amazing bedroom with the lovliest robes and more chocolates throughout.
    We packed a dinner picnic on the anticipation that we would not stray far from the spa and luxury of the apartment, and we had no need or desire to leave once we got there.
    The only disappointment was having to leave and get back to reality. Linden Gardens was a magical place, of which I hold very fond memories.

    We stayed at Linden Gardens for 2 nights and it felt as if we had been away for ages. It was the most relaxing, romantic weekend away that we had had for a long time. Thoroughly enjoyed the spa and surroundings. We also found Alex to be very accommodating. We are actually booking the gardens to stay for our honemoon later on in the year.

    How romantic is that tower? The only time we saw other people was when we wanted to see them! Everything was provided - and I mean everything! We travelled a few hours and it was worth it. Breakfast was great. But the best was the large and very deep spa. My very tall husband actually fitted and could have swum laps (if he’d felt inclined, which thankfully he didn’t!!!). The bath oil, bath salts and loofah topped it off along with the bathrobes and slippers. What bliss. We didn’t have to ask for a thing. We’re definitely going back. Oh, the view outside was fantastic too!

    An absolutely stunning night. I proposed to my now wife in the garden retreat and the location couldn’t have been more romantic. The view from both levels makes it feel like you’re living in the trees, and the rooms are finished to the highest level. And having breakfast cooked and delivered to your door the next morning just topped of an already great stay. We’ll be back.

    My partner & I both work 6 days a week. We needed some time out & to be pampered & Linden Gardens is the place to go to! The romantic atmosphere, the comfortable couch & bed, the spa & the AMAZING breakfast served in our room was all fantastic. We travel a lot and stay at top resorts that don’t even compare to this place. It’s really is taking a break from everyday life at Linden Gardens!!

We had a great stay and as soon as we get the chance we will definately stay there again!

    Was the perfect setting for a weekend retreat. The anitpasto and wine on arrival was tasty. I was given the name of a local lady who came to Linden Gardens and gave us a massage. Perfect way to start a relaxing weekend. We could have been a million miles away. Didn’t hear from or see anyone during our stay. Big comfy bed with beautiful views of the garden.

    I loved the ambiance of the sanctuary tower, set in the verdant rainforest backdrop of Linden Gardens. Our suite was three levels of pure luxury and we came away feeling pampered and relaxed. Everything we could have possibly needed was available while the service was intuitive and unobtrusive.

    We spent an anniversary weekend at Linden Gardens which was just perfect. Beautiful secluded cottage tucked away giving us comfort and privacy, but great attentive service on hand if needed. Nice touches with extras like wine, cheese and fruit platter, chocolates and all the spa necessities. Fantastic home cooked breakfast delivered to your door in the mornings. Cottage was also within easy reach of other attractions in the Dandenongs, or you could just lock yourself away completely!

    Th retreat was just perfect! I took my girlfriend to this retreat for her surprise 28th birthday and she just loved it. It was the attention paid to the little things that really made a difference and the scenery was simply brilliant. Having the fire on and music playing in our villa upon arrival, a bottle of champagne chilling on the lounge room table, chocolates meticulously placed on our bed, an assortment of cheeses designed to reflect our tastes and even a windproof ashtray! It was all about the detail. There were even an array of items that are commonly forgotten and are for sale within your confines - for a very cost effective rate. The fact that Linden Gardens are not charging $5 for a can of soft drink just increases the relaxed nature and intimacy of the place. The gentle and compassionate touch of the owners is ever present in everything that is Linden Gardens. Very well presented and hosted - an experience we won’t forget.

    My partner organised Linden Gardens rainforest retreat for my birthday last winter.
    We stayed in the Sanctuary Tower.
    It was the best weekend ever, the time we spent was so relaxing.
    Everything was beautiful from the breakfast supplied to the lovely people ..to the beautiful surroundings.
    The highlight for me was the fireplace in the room.
    We will be coming back for another relaxing weekend very soon!
    Thanks Linden Gardens!

    We stayed for a birthday weekend in winter and it was just spectacular. The service and welcome was amazing. The rooms all looked fantastic. We stayed in the tower and enjoyed a spa, views, privacy, luxuries. The complimentary cheese and wine were a lovely touch. To wake to a delicious hot breakfast the next morning sure was a birthday treat. From arrival to departure we were relaxed, comfortable and surrounded by luxury.
