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

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.
