Wonderful setting
This was the most gorgeous setting and the view/access to the beach was amazing and perfect for our two families of 5. The accommodation worked brilliantly as well and was very well equipped and clean. Our only request would be for a dishwasher and wifi but otherwise we had no complaints.

Great Ocean views
Manuka Lodge in person is even better than the photos! The views of the ocean are incredible and it only takes a few minutes walk from the back gate to get down to the beach. The backyard is fully enclosed but there are rabbits nearby so I wouldn't trust your pooch to not jump over the low lying fence. Penguin Parade is less than a 10 minute drive down the road, and getting into Cowes for restaurants is only about 10 minutes. We would gladly come back to stay again.

The perfect place to stay for a family group
We had 5 nights at Manuka Lodge over Easter with all of our family. The house was spotless and the grandchildren had a great time in their own rooms downstairs with a separate sitting room with a TV and soccer table. We adults enjoyed the views and outdoor deck upstairs and we were blessed with great weather. We virtually had the whole beach to ourselves which was a short walk out the back gate. The backyard was nice and secure for the children to play outdoors. We visited the Antarctic Centre, the Penguin Parade, the Koala Sanctuary and Churchill Island with a 4 Park Pass for $41 per adult (RACV) and when you add the free attractions like the Nobbies Boardwalk, the Forest Caves Walk and Pyramid Rock, we had days filled with entertainment for very little cost. Thank you William and Helen for sharing your home with us and giving us some wonderful memories shared with our children and grandchildren. We highly recommend this property.
