The property has everything needed for two people to enjoy a wonderful break.The location is ideal allowing a leisurely walk to the local shops, food options etc.The property allows you to be self sufficient if you want, just hiding away from the World and enjoying the peace and quiet.Wifi was very handy when required.Easy process from start to finish.Close to all the walks and other activities to do.
Lovely relaxing property for a couples getaway.Very clean, excellent position in the town, great views.The gas heater was very welcome on colder evenings after hiking in the day.Couldn't fault the property really.
Lovely and clean with great floor plan. Good location with easy walk to town centre. Lovely kookaburras. Thank you!

Comfortable, but ridiculously poor range and quantity of glasses, shortage of tea-towels , no tissues, no shampoos, no electric blanket - small but annoying shortages. We did enjoy our stay.George Belcher

I’m so sorry to hear that you thought there was a poor range of items supplied.
We would have been more than happy to accommodate some of the extra items that you needed if you contacted us during your stay before leaving us review.
Since the property only caters for 2 guests staying, we don’t have a massive range of glassware. Just enough for 2. Plus we supply all types of glasses that would be needed ☺️
Unfortunately we don’t supply an electric blanket due to the king bed having a memory foam topper for extra comfort, it’s for fire danger safety reasons. Plus it’s not listed that we supply one. Unfortunately we don’t supply shampoo or conditioner but we supply body wash. These are also other amenities that aren’t listed as available. We are in the process of changing things around and adding extra items, so this may be something we could add.
It’s definitely best to double check if properties have these items that you are needing before you choose to book.
Thank you, I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay ☺️
We had the best time! Not too far from the centre of town, we walked down every morning and on evenings with great ease and friendly locals. The gas heater that looked like a real fire was perfect, the bath was AMAZING (although an FYI: my partner had a shower before I ran the bath and we ran out of hot water for my bath which was so sad but understandable!). The double shower heads was amazing. The place was so clean and cosy, the coffee machine with hot chocolate pods was wonderful too! Easy check in and check out. We had the best time - thank you!
Perfect location for Grampians National Park exploring/hiking! The home was spotless, very well furnished, and the host responded quickly to a couple of questions I had. Would definitely recommend!
My priority in selecting accommodation is location but it also needs to be clean, comfortable and functional. Manuka delivered. Cosy & warm with a homey feel.
Great location, atmospheric, charming & clean. My father was born in Halls Gap, so I have visited many times. Manuka Retreat is the nicest accommodation I have stayed in. Tamara was prompt and helpful when confirming our booking. Thanks for a lovely stay, Rohan
Such an amazing property. Could not fault it in the slightest. The bed was so amazingly comfortable. It was quiet, st in nature with lots of native wildlife. 5 min walk to the shops in the main strip. Just perfect!
We had a lovely 2 day stay, everything we needed was included, the home was clean and comfortable and the spa was lovely after a long day of walking. Would definitely stay again.
We loved our stay here. Very good location and has every you need for a comfortable stay.
The hosts were flexible with adjusting our booking and pleasant to deal with.
Thanks for a great getaway.
