About the host
Hosted by Suzie Carlon
Neil and I moved to Australia in 2014 - direct from Hackney in London - to tranquil Tinonee just outside Taree. Neil is a Chef and I am a Marketer and Designer. Neil and I always dreamed of running a boutique retreat - in a stunning and relaxing location, offering excellent customer service and gorgeous food. When we found Mansfield on the Manning we knew it was 'the one'! We spent the first 9 months completely refurbishing the 3 existing properties and adding our fantastic American Airstream. We've turned the rough and ready paddocks into beautiful green, sloping lawns, added a veggie garden and lots of fruit trees, built a double-infinity edge pool - and love sharing this space with our guests. We are passionate about customer service and our aim is to do everything we can to make sure every guest has a fantastic stay with happy memories. Each property is uniquely designed to create a stylish home away from home and we've done our utmost to consider everything you would need for a relaxing stay. We offer a Dine-in menu for all our guests with seasonal dishes all lovingly created by Neil and delivered direct to your door.
Why they chose this property
Mansfield on the Manning was originally built in the late 19th century for a Presbyterian minister - hence Manse! In 1992 the property and land was bought by a family to run as a rural retreat and they built 2 cabins and 1 cottage - using reclaimed local timbers and materials. As the property is not on town water, the properties received eco credentials that we maintain to this day. The property has stunning views across the Manning River to the Lansdowne Escarpment and all our guests exclaim at how they feel their stress melt away as the catch sight of the view for the first time. This is a very peaceful property with tons of wildlife - we see koalas, kangaroos, iguanas and many, many species of birds. Guests are welcome to explore the 16 acres, help themselves from our veggie garden, gather eggs from our free-range chooks and use the double-infinity edge pool. We've got a great library of books for all ages, plus indoor and outdoor games. We've got a boules pitch and a croquet lawn!
What makes this property unique
We believe we've got the best view in the Manning Valley! In fact, friends and neighbours usually reluctantly agree. Each property is completely private and is surrounded by native shrubs and trees and makes you feel at one with nature.
