Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne (Australia)

The Dandenong Ranges are a set of low-rising mountains in Melbourne. The highest peak here is Mount Dandenong at only 633 meters. But these green highlands covered in ferns and ash trees make for the perfect holiday destination near the city. Before 1987, the ranges were divided into several parklands which were visited by backpackers, hikers and day-trippers. In 1987, all of them were united to form Dandenong Ranges National Park. There are many fun and exciting attractions here for tourists to enjoy.

Attractions of Dandenong Ranges

The best of the Dandenong Ranges attractions is the Puffing Billy steam railway ride. The train toots its way from Belgrave through thick forests, fern nettles and green farmlands and stops at Gembrook. This is the most perfect way to see the beauty of Dandenong without any hassle. Alfred Nicholas Memorial and the Dandenong Ranges botanic garden are two parks you can visit. There are towering mountain ash trees, a pristine lake and a boathouse to explore here through winding lanes in the first, while the second is covered in rhododendrons. William Rickett’s Sanctuary and its mysterious statues and the 1000 steps of the Kokoda Memorial Hall are the hidden treasures of Dandenong. There are multiple creeks, walking trails and trekking routes to explore. On the paths, trekkers can see Dandenong ranges waterfalls like Olinda and Sherbrooke. Summiting Mount Dandenong or Mount Corhanwarrabul and getting a glimpse of the entire valley below is one of the best trekking activities here.

Things to Do at Dandenong Ranges

Admire the beauty of the Alfred Nicholas Gardens: The gardens are surreal and aesthetically beautiful. Planted by two brothers, Alfred Nicholas and George, the gardens feature a collection of maples, gingkos, mountain ash, and liquid ambers.

Shop for Plants at Sassafras: There are many nurseries in Dandenong from where you can buy some exotic species of plants. The most famous one is in the Sassafras area called Conifer Gardens Nursery where you will find plant species like black pines, conifers, Japanese maples, etc.

Shop for antiques at Mangana: This is a good place to shop for antique things like postcards, antique furniture, vintage items, chess board, woven rugs, classic antique jewelry, and many such items.

Trek on the U-Pick Trail: The Dandenong Ranges are all covered with orchards and berry farms and U-Pick trail is a trail that allows the visitors to taste these fruits. There are also cellars on these farms where you can shop for local produce.

Soothe the Senses by Taking a Spa: There are a number of day spa centers at the Dandenong Range where you can take a relaxing and a soothing day spa. You can go to Mountain and Elle Natural and Japanese Mountain Retreat Mineral Springs and Spa as these two are one of the best day spa retreats in the area.

    Really satisfied with the trip! All the hotels provided had pretty good location. Rohit from Hubholiday was very active throughout all stages of the trip,right from planning the itinerary to the very end . We planned our entire itinerary during late hours and Rohit was happily available to receive c
    alls during those odd hours mostly after 12 midnight! Execution was as good as the planning. These guys , Rohit and Prashant, were available for queries throughout the trip. They entertained even the last minute changes. Overall an excellent trip to a beautiful country!

    Sachin's 10 days trip to Melbourne

    We did not like the arrangements at all. They could have been much better planned and executed if they would have thought about their customers even a bit. After hundreds of calls, messages and emails from my husband, the final vouchers were handed to us 8 hours before our flight.. we did not even h
    ave time to take a careful look at them.. The sightseeing tours were not selected thoughtfully. Most of the sightseeings were at max 1.5 hours long and repititive like the Skydeck in Melbourne, Skypoint in Gold coast, Harbour cruise in Sydney, etc.. and then the entire day was left free, which is good for some days but not all days which was the case with us. Better sightseeing tours should have been planned. We had to book several additional sightseeing tours on Viator.com so as to be able to experience Australia.. If we would have followed only the itinerary prepared by the agent, we wouldn't even have seen a Kangaroo or Koala Bear even after spending so much money and staying for 10 days in Australia.. It was evident that the cheapest of sightseeing tours available were booked for us, for example, the cruise in Sydney was an hour long and consisted of us just sitting on a ferry and seeing the harbour without anyone telling us what we are seeing.. It was a complete waste of time, we got much more information while riding on Ferries for our visit to the zoo that we booked separately.. No pickups from our Hotels were arranged even when complimentary pickups were available with the tours booked.. No directions were provided to us regarding where to reach and how.. No information on local transport available and how to travel was provided.. We know how Google Maps work and therefore got to the specified locations, however, any aged or not so tech savvy travellers would have missed their tours repeatedly.. It was a total chaos. On top of all that, this was my husband's birthday trip and he had told this to the agent several times, but they were not even courteous enough to book us a cake.. The agent wished a very Happy Birthday to my husband on Whatsapp though.. The rooms booked for us in Sydney didn't have complimentary breakfast and were so small that there was hardly any space to stand apart from the queen bed that was provided to the 2 of us.. The upgrades were available starting at just Rs. 1500 per night but they booked us the cheapest option so that they could pocket as much money as possible.. We felt cheated time and again during the entire trip. We will never travel with HubHolidays again and would suggest others too not to make that mistake..

    We booked the flight tickets from HubHolidays. Yeeshu and Prashant handled our booking pretty well. Yeeshu was extremely proactive in checking flight tickets for us. For about a week or so he kept checking tickets until we got the best one. He kept the tickets on hold for us when he found appropriat
    e and low fare flight for us and we did the bookings in no time. I couldn't have got that rates by myself. This included the travel insurance and VISA assistance as well. VISA assistance (Pawan and Team) also amazingly handled and we had no problem whatsoever. The sightseeing options provided were also good and at comparable rates but we wanted to see them at our leisure at the destination itself. In all, it was a great experience for us and would recommend to check them out while planning a trip. Shout out to Yeeshu again for handling our booking well. :)

Prashant's efforts for co-ordinating with us during our trip were commendable. They were responsive even at 3am. The best part was knowledge that both Amit & Prashant had. T
    he sightseeing tours were selected very thoughtfully & they gave us accurate information about our trips, for maximum coverage. Since I was there for my honeymoon, they ensured that I get plenty of leisure time while covering all major viewpoints. I will definitely travel with HolidayHub again and the future.
