Shop Precinct: Olinda, Victoria

Each month, Home Beautiful reveals Australia's must-visit destinations and uncover their hidden gems.

Rich colours, spring blossoms and breathtaking scenery have always enticed visitors to picture-postcard Olinda - one of the highest villages in Victoria's beautiful Dandenong Ranges, an easy day trip from Melbourne. Browse quaint boutiques with unique decor by local and global artisans and enjoy lunch at one of the local cafes - there's always something good on the menu.

An interior design service is also on offer.

Housed in two of Olinda's oldest original buildings, Mangana is a cavernous emporium overflowing with a heady mix of arts and crafts-style decor and furnishings. With many years of experience, owners John and Judy stock timeless accessories from around the globe: leadlight lamps, railway clocks, hammered silver platters, Venetian masks, glittering Art Deco-inspired jewellery and even a vintage ski sleigh. Make your way to the back of the store for the larger furniture pieces such as beautiful timber consoles and classic freestanding nautical spotlights.

Stop 5: Treasures Of Istanbul

Every floor and wall of this shop is layered with vivid colours, tactile textures and intricate Turkish patterns.

Stop 6: Ranges

Famous for its open fires, homemade scones and signature mountain bread, this toasty cafe is popular with both visitors and locals alike. The menu caters for the very hungry, serving up generous burgers, but if you're just a bit peckish, the trio of dips is a must. It can get busy on weekends, so grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a latte, or a glass of Yarra Valley wine.

Open: Mon-Sun 8.30am-6pm, with dinner Tue-Sat from 5.30pm.
Visit: 5 Olinda-Monbulk Road, (03) 9751 2133, ranges.com.au.
