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.

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

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

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 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
