We had a peaceful, relaxing weekend away at Manuel's! Seriously, it was really hard to leave, as it is one of the most tranquil places we have ever stayed at being so close to Melbourne. The upstairs bedroom is very romantic with views of the spectacular forest from every window with a beautiful shower. The birdlife is incredible and the children absolutely loved the chicken coop and collecting the eggs in the morning. The outdoor seating area is very relaxing indeed. You really do not need to drive off to do anything, as there is a beautiful pathway to walk around the property. Bring plenty of food and drinks and enjoy the well appointed kitchen. We look forward to returning to Manuel's again. Thank you Manuel for a lovely stay.
