Overview

Nestled 43 km east of Melbourne’s CBD, Sassafras sits at about 500 m altitude on a saddle of the Dandenong Ranges, offering cool, forest‑clad vistas and easy access to the Dandenong Ranges National Park. The village has evolved into a popular tourist spot, home to boutique stores, Devonshire‑style tea rooms, cafés, toy and antique shops, and plant nurseries, giving residents a relaxed, village‑like lifestyle amid abundant exotic flora and protected creek corridors.

The community is served by Sassafras Primary School, established in 1894, and benefits from nearby amenities in Olinda, Kallista and Ferny Creek. Housing ranges from historic cottages to newer homes set on private garden lots, all framed by the surrounding natural reserves. With regular road links to Melbourne and neighbouring towns, the locality blends tranquil country living with convenient connections to the wider region.
