Relaxing, delightful and peaceful

We had the most wonderful time at ‘Mancuso’ a rustic farm cottage. It was warm and cosy with the wood fire near the bed. The views from the porch of rolling green hills were mesmerising as were the kangeroos hopping about from hill to hill. Would definitely recommend this place if you need a relaxing peaceful time out!

Very cosy

A bit tight with 2 kids and 2 adults. Loved the clean and crisp air, animals across the road and the cows. Needs a thorough insulation makeover though

Relaxing Stay

Lovely, rustic and quaint! Had a wonderful relaxing stay with our puppy who had a ball!! All it needed was a firepit so we could sit out in the cold and watch the blanket of stars :-) but the fire place and spa was just as good. Thank you.

Beautiful country retreat

Gorgeous cottage as described with warm wood fire heater (stacks of wood), plus a split system heater/aircon if needed. Amazing spa bath and I also recommend a in-home massage - Leilani was amazing. Idyllic surrounds, yes you can hear the occasional car go past but not a bother for us. We had breakfasts out in Kyneton and at the local farmers market, and cooked a bbq for dinner. We did bring our dog who had a great time, but we needed to make the gate more secure for her because she easily got onto the road otherwise - be sure to check this yourself if bringing dogs! Recommended :)

A must do! To do nothing or do plenty

If you really need a getaway and switch off from a busy lifestyle, this is it! Basic but very functional, this little retreat cottage, nicely decorated, with stunning views will give you all you need and more. How to really switch off? This has been the perfect answer. Incredible landscapes, Kangaroos, alpacas, cockatoos, rabbits, horses.... yet, close enough to Kyneton, Malmsbury or Castlemaine if you fancy a night out in some good restaurants. Recommend the Cascades if you want to lye down on smooth rocks, and dip your feet in the various water holes. Beautiful spot! Patrick, the owner, has been extremely helpful and very prompt for any question you may have. Don’t think twice! Go for it!

Lovely NYE escape

Lovely escape from the hectic city with nothing around but birds, cows and kangaroos. Small town only a few minutes drive away. Cottage comes with all amenities. Amazing views and beautiful sunsets behind the hills. Only downside is the bed which very uncomfortable as the mattress is too soft, leaning to the middle of the bed. Bed base misses a support leg in the centre. We’d be back if the bed/mattress is replaced. Very pet friendly as the property is fenced off.

Stunning

Thank you so much for the beautiful stay in your cottage. I'm a sucker for old building with character and this cottage certainly had that. We enjoyed a spa and relaxed by the fire with a short drive the the pub for dinner. The scenery was so beautiful too. Wish we could of stayed longer. Thank you so so much!
