Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Olinda (postcode 3788), a charming village in the Dandenong Ranges within the Yarra Ranges Shire, about 42km east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Olinda and neighbouring Kalorama, Mount Dandenong, Sassafras and Sherbrooke, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Olinda is one of the most delightful and distinctive of the Dandenong Ranges townships — a cool-climate village of boutiques, galleries, tearooms and gardens perched high in the Ranges where the mountain ash forests and rhododendron gardens create an atmosphere quite unlike anywhere else in Melbourne’s metropolitan fringe. Olinda is home to the National Rhododendron Garden — a magnificent Parks Victoria garden of 40 hectares that is spectacular in bloom from September through to November each year, drawing visitors from across Victoria and beyond to experience thousands of rhododendrons, azaleas, daffodils and magnolias in an extraordinary woodland setting. The Village of Sassafras immediately to the south is Olinda’s famous neighbour, celebrated for Miss Marple’s Tea Room and the cluster of specialist retailers that line Sassafras Road and Mt Dandenong Tourist Road. The Dandenong Ranges National Park’s forest walks, including the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk, begin close by.
