Manuka Retreat

Manuka retreat is tastefully renovated to give you everything you need, for a wonderfully relaxing stay.
A stylish couples getaway, situated in the heart of Halls Gap ( just 600m from the shops) and close to walks, restaurants, art gallery and activities.

Nestled amongst the tall gums with mountain views front and rear, it is the ideal haven for wildlife and birds which frequent the garden often.
The spacious front deck flows from the lounge room and bedroom area, bringing the outdoors in.

You can soak away the days adventures in the luxurious spa or double shower, before retiring to the comfortable king size bed .

A gas fire will give that cozy feel in the cold days, and the reverse cycle air-conditioner will keep you cool in the summer.

A coffee machine is provided along with tea, coffee & milk in case you arrive late. The automatic outside lighting comes on for two hours in the evening to light your way.

Come stay with us to enjoy the fabulous Grampians National Park .

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.

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

Perfect weekend getaway
This was a lovely weekend getaway from normal life and the little property was big enough for just two people. The facilities of this property was modern and up to date. There was many things to do within 5 mins of the property location. I would highly recommend you and your significant other stay here. Thank you to Tamara and Carl for hosting!

Great space and close to town
Some times all you need is a one bedroom place to stay. Banksia is just that, with all the needed amenities provided, including fast (for me) internet. Being within a 5 minute walk to the shops is good.

Manuka Retreat
Really enjoyed my stay at this cottage. Right off Grampians Road, but quiet and private, with excellent facilities. Perfect base for hiking around the Grampians. Ideal setup for solo traveler or couples. Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and the TV reception was good while I was there (weather was perfect!). Just one thing: the wardrobe doors in the bedroom were locked during my stay, so there was nowhere to store my clothes. Didn't really matter to me, but may to someone else.
