About Kalorama and the Dandenongs

Kalorama, a residential area in the Mount Dandenong Ranges, is only 36 km east of the City of Melbourne. It can best be reached via the Tourist Road from Montrose which is situated at the end of Canterbury Road. There is a special viewing position at the Five Ways Corner with a panoramic view over the Sylvan Reservoir and the Olinda State Forest to the Warburton Ranges.

Much of Kalorama is parkland and forest reserve, which adds to the spacious residential environment. Some of the houses date from pre-war times when Kalorama was a weekend resort. Several resort and guest-house places continue to offer accommodation to visitors. This includes a large number of very romantic, luxury Bed and Breakfast places such as Holly Lodge.

Along the Mount Dandenong Tourist Road there are Kalorama Park, Kalorama Memorial Reserve with sports facilities, an Australian plant garden, a shop, café and post office opposite the reserve and a café and art gallery at the Five Way Corner. The eastern part of Kalorama is mainly a water catchment reserve and part of the Dandenong Ranges National Park. It is not hard to be distracted by all the lovely restaurants, tea-rooms, galleries and charming B&B’s found nestled in the villages of the Dandenong Ranges.
