Summary: Host, Sarah was so nice. The location was absolutely amazing. So peaceful.
Katrina W. Jan 27, 2026 04:50:49 PM
Summary: Thank you, Hosts Sarah and Jordan for sharing your slice of paradise! Manu Park is such a wonderful holiday destination! The drive through your property gave us kangaroos, cows and views galore. The cottage is well appointed with a large lounge area that allows everyone to relax. The outdoor set up allows family to play games, sit and enjoy the serenity. The river access is amazing! Once we found the road down (Yes, we did the bush trip first - kangaroos and crossing the river across a fallen log) we realised the treasure of the property! The waterhole by the rockface is pure magic. Thank you for letting us use your gazebo shade tent on such a hot day! The kids and Charlie our dog loved swimming whilst we were down at the river. We loved every moment of our stay. Thank you for providing fans in each room to help against the hot weather. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this as a great holiday destination!

Summary: Impressive mountain views, short walk to the river. Cabin was cosy and clean, with comfortable bed and everything you need. A great place to get away from everything and enjoy the great outdoors.

Summary: Checkin easy, with clear directions from owners. The big house is an old girl, but is quite comfortable with most of what you would need. Completely off grid running on solar, which would work to full capacity best in sunny weather. During our stay it was mostly cloudy, so we experienced 2 blackouts on the first 2 nights. After contacting the owners for guidance, hubby knew how to boot up the generator to get power back on. For us, this was the only drawback as the blackouts happened late at night both times whilst i was latheted up in the shower! There was plenty of firewood for the big old fireplace that kept us warm. Good comfy bed.There was a huge array of DVDs to choose from so we got to watch movies we hadnt seen before, boardgames to play, a swingset outside, if you have young ones and a good BBQ that we used every night to cook. Outside awning was excellent, providing a big undercover eating area, big firepit outside which was so relaxing to sit by. As its pitch black on the property at night, you get to see trillions of stars that you dont see back home. Location/scenery is excellent 10/10. If you like country, you'll love where this place is. We've never seen such stunningly breathtaking scenery. Big old trees everywhere, quartz in the earth, the Macquarie River running clear at the back of the property, escarpments, a sandy area to sit and listen to the water running as there is no other sounds. It was simply stunning! A relaxing soul soothing place to stay.

Summary: The track leading to the farmhouse through the paddocks is a great introduction to the property. Enjoy the peace and quiet, all the basics are covered so moving in with just foid and drinks for your stay is all you'll need to bring with you. The creek setting is worth a look and the hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly. Thanks for having us, we look forward to returning in the future.

Summary: Beautiful property, well maintained ( except the road to the cottage - needs to be graded as was very rough. thankfully we had an AWD car.) Lovely location and beautiful walking to the Macquarie River in the afternoon. peaceful and relaxing weekend - was lovely.
hayley p. Nov 17, 2024 12:06:13 PM
Summary: I stayed here with my husband and our two dogs for the weekend and it was the perfect getaway for us. The property is in a beautiful location with the river a short walk from the cabin. We spent most of our time in the river and on the beach which our dogs loved and then having the cabin fenced meant they could run around. The cabin was comfortable and made for an easy enjoyable stay, it was also far away from the main residence so it was super private. We’d love to come back again for another weekend!
Talisha T. Jul 23, 2024 01:06:02 PM
Summary: We absolutely loved this place. The home was roomy and plenty of options for keeping kids busy including swings, big fenced yard, games , colouring books. Its a short walk down the hill to the sandy banks of a river. Beautiful rocks galore! The fire warmed the whole house. Massive loungeroom with big lounge for all. Everything u need in the kitchen. The beds are so comfortable!!!! We wish we had booked it for longer. Truly awesome place to stay!

Summary: My family of 5 (13, 15, and 17) and our dog stayed for 4 nights during winter. It was better than described and upon arrival, wverything was made easy. The beds had linen already including blankets and a towel for each bed. Firewood was already chopped and ready to go, which was put to use straight away. The property is isolated from the main house and the neighbours, making it a true isolated property experience for my family. If you are looking to get away from the city life or want a short change of scenery from the beach life, this property lived up to expectations. It only needed an electric fry pan and we couldnt get the washing machine to work, but I didnt bother management with that issue as we lived without it.

Summary: Great private cottage in stunning riverside location. House has everything you need and hosts friendly and responsive.
