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!

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.
