About guest reviews...

Cottage, Boutique hotel, Bed & Breakfast, Self-contained apartment, Health retreat

Arnica Views is one of the few extraordinary places where timeless elegance and sophisticated style are vibrantly alive. Offering magnificent luxury private suites with excellent service and true comfort, perfect all year around for special occasions and where guests can expect to relax, refresh and rejuvenate.

Located on the summit of the beautiful Dandenong Ranges and away from the noise of the main road, Arnica Views is less than an hour's drive from Melbourne.

Arnica Views derives its name from two sources; Arnica Montana, an amazing herb known for it's mind and body healing properties and the stunning views of the Melbourne City Skyline and surrounds.

NEW COOKING SCHOOL. SEE WEBSITE FOR DETAILS.

We came in anticipation of having a wonderful experience. Our expectations were met and far exceeded by the sheer beauty of the suite, the tranquil surrounds, the views, the birds but most of all by your hospitality.

The attention to detail was superb and the massages were heavenly. Truly a magical place to relax the body, refresh the mind and rejuvenate the soul. Thank you for 3 perfect days and nights. Jennifer and Graham

What a great experience. By far the best place we've stayed. Thankyou.
