Kangaroo Manor is a "once in a lifetime" sort of place to stay. I truly can't recommend it enough, and my family loved our time there. The house itself is unique, stunning, and very open, bringing the gorgeous vistas of the Yarra Ranges right into the living room. You truly can't beat the views.
The accommodations are really comfortable with nice beds and linens, bathrooms, and plenty of closet space. The bed in the master bedroom is one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on! We really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was and that there were basics provided like oil, spices, coffee, tea, etc. We had everything we needed to cook for our whole family.
The pool is fabulous, spacious and very deep. We took most of our meals sitting out on the deck, and also used the barbeque on site, which worked great.
This place is an animal lover's paradise! Two extremely friendly dogs live on the property and we loved having them around. There are also horses and donkeys. We saw tons of wildlife including herds of kangaroos, deer, cockatoos, king parrots, and a koala. It feels a bit like a nature sanctuary as so many animals make this place their home.
We really enjoyed walking around the property, including the recommended River Walk, and got tons of great shots of the scenery and wildlife with our camera. The nearby town of Warburton is also very charming.
Our family will always remember our holiday at Kangaroo Manor, and I'm already dreaming of when we can come back!
