The Neighborhood:

Casa Vista is located in Kalorama, a peaceful village surrounded by the beautiful forests of the Dandenong Ranges.



Towering eucalyptus trees, fern-filled gullies and abundant native birdlife give the area its distinctive sense of escape, while some of the Dandenong Ranges' best-loved villages and attractions remain close by.



Explore the cafés, restaurants and boutiques of Mount Dandenong, Olinda and Sassafras, discover local forest walks and gardens, or spend the day exploring the wineries, restaurants and farm gates of the nearby Yarra Valley.



The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden, scenic lookouts and walking trails are all within easy reach, while Puffing Billy Railway and the villages of Belgrave and Emerald make for a wonderful family day out.



Casa Vista gives you the feeling of escaping into the forest while remaining perfectly positioned to experience the best of the Dandenong Ranges.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended when staying at Casa Vista and is the easiest way to explore Kalorama and the wider Dandenong Ranges.



Mount Dandenong, Olinda, Sassafras, local walking trails, gardens and scenic lookouts are all easily accessible by car, while the Yarra Valley is close enough for an easy day trip.



Local roads through the Dandenong Ranges can be winding, and conditions may occasionally be foggy or wet, particularly during the cooler months. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful drive through the forest.



Other Things to Note:

Pets are welcome at Casa Vista — we love that you want to bring your furry friend along.



Casa Vista is surrounded by the natural environment of the Dandenong Ranges. Native birds and wildlife are regular visitors, and leaves, bark and other signs of the surrounding eucalyptus forest are naturally part of the experience.



The Dandenong Ranges can be noticeably cooler than metropolitan Melbourne throughout the year, so we recommend bringing an extra layer, even during the warmer months.



Families with young children are very welcome at Casa Vista. While we've created dedicated spaces for younger guests to enjoy, children should be supervised throughout the home and outdoor areas.



Please also respect our peaceful residential neighbourhood and keep outdoor noise to a minimum, particularly during the evening.



Interaction with Guests:

We provide a fully self-managed experience so you can relax and enjoy your stay in privacy.



If you need anything during your time with us, we’re always just a message away and happy to assist.
