Fantastic

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at the accommodation. It was very clean and nicely laced out. We also like that it was in the Main Street which you could walk to everything. We would highly recommend it and we will definitely be back 😊

Lovely!

We had a lovely time here! It was raining sporadically throughout our time at Halls Gap so it was so nice to have such a cozy, comfortable and modern place to stay. The photos really don't do the property justice! And the place was very clean upon arrival. Tamara was great to deal with; very responsive and lovely. No wi-fi but we knew beforehand and came prepared!

Pleasant stay in Halls Gap

A very nice property but a small basic kitchen using a microwave / convection combination oven. We enjoy cooking. For the price paid would normally expect wifi and internet tv. Excellent linen etc, very comfy bed, comfortable living area. Overall very good but with a few minor improvements, could be excellent.

Fabulous Property - Glorious Location

Beautifully presented, modern property, set in woodlands close to Halls Gap centre. Great to be able to park right next to the front door. Extensive glazed outlook in all directions. Prefect for a relaxing or strenuous hiking get away.

Manuka Retreat

I highly recommend Manuka Retreat. It is absolutely beautiful and in a perfect location. The house was so clean and welcoming and the spa was a perfect touch after a day of walking around and exploring. The king bed is the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in and the double shower was amazing. Definitely won’t be the last time we come here and we are already planning our trip back. Thank you so much for having us

Halls Gap Getaway Cottage

Manuka Cottage is a lovely cottage approximately 500m from the "CBD" of Halls Gap, as such it is centrally located and is close to all that you need during your stay. I should also note that it is almost directly across the road from the fabulous Spirit of Punjab Indian restaurant. The cottage was compact, clean and tidy. It even has a spa bath. My only negative comment would be that the heating struggled a little on a cold morning where the temperature dropped to 2.9C. Otherwise, it was a joy staying here.

The property was absolutely love. Had a great stay. Close walk into town - shops, restaurants. In the morning and at dusk, got to see heaps of kangaroos around the area. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Buggee accomodations

Manuka was exactly as described & in easy walking distance to town/shop’s. Even most walking tracks for exploration. Only issue, booked it as had two TV’s , we planned to watch Brownlow Medal. No reception on either device, so missed it !! Apparently is an issue there, perhaps would have been nice to know before hand.

Great location

Property was as described, it was comfortable, clean and convenient, even though it is on the main road it was very private. Ensuite area and bed perfect. Chocolates were a lovely personal touch. The bird life is extremely friendly, watch out when eating outdoors. A wonderful place to stay with everything you need, an up grade of cooking pots would be great. Highly recommended staying at Manuka

Our experience was fantastic, hosts were very helpful and location was perfect. Had everything we needed and was the perfect size for a couple, loved the spa bath and double shower. Lots of visiting birds which was lovely and got to see plenty of kangaroos passing by. Would highly recommend : )
