About this property

There are two guest rooms each with QS bed, fan, air-conditioning, bar fridge, TV. The nightly rate is for one room and based on 2 people sharing a QS bed.

When booking the two rooms for 2 extra family/friends a special discounted nightly rate is offered for the extra room.. The nightly rate includes a packaged tropical continental style breakfast. The B&B environment is Bali-inspired and the accommodation is situated within a lush,tropical garden compound. Guest accommodation is in a separate wing separated from the main house by a large salt water pool.

At the rear of the accommodation are cane fields stretching to rainforest covered mountains and beautiful, pristine, white sanded and palm fringed Newell Beach - over 3.5km long and flanked by two rivers, is just a two minute stroll from the back gate and can be viewed from the main house.

What a fantastic property to stay. Lindsay was a great host to chat with, great breakfast and so much moreThe property is beautiful with a relaxing pool, comfortable room with a spectacular bathroom
Wonderful B&B in Newell Beach--
beautiful accommodations with a delightful salt water pool, very close beach access and great hosts.
Fernando and Anne made delicious breakfasts, provided great local recommendations, and were a delight to visit with.
Overall, a lovely place to stay.
The bedrooms and garden are beautiful and very relaxing. The hosts were very attentive and help us plan our days.
Breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed our stay and will not hesitate to go back if in the area.
A beautiul secluded wee gem of a place surrounded by tropical gardens, salt water pool and just a short walk to the beach.
Breakfast by the pool and wonderful hosts.
Highly recommend
Enjoyed finding a place to stop and refresh - away from the hustle and bustle of Port Doug but close enough for easy access. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and a lovely breakfast. Thank you
Hosts are a delight! Great place to stay, highly recommend đ breakfast was fabulous, pool was great after a long day sight seeing. Thanks so much Ann and Fernando - we will be seeing you again.đ
The property was fantastic, and having a car makes it easy to explore the many activities and sights in the area over several days. Lindsay was a wonderful host. While she wasnât the original owner â something we didnât know at the time of booking, althought we had chosen the property based on reviews of the original host... â she gave us a warm welcome and generously shared all the local knowledge she had gathered about nearby attractions as a tourist herself. In the end, we feel we had an even better experience than we might have had with the original owner.
Canât recommend this place enough. Anne is a fabulous host, and the space is exactly as pictured. Felt like we were in Bali!
The pool is shared with the hosts but it still feels very private, and the breakfast spread is really generous.
Stayed here with our 8month old and it all felt very easy. Highly recommend.

Overall stay was good. Its a nice place and close to beach. Couple opportunities: please share that you have tenants living in the apartment above the garage in your posting in Vrbo. With fruit trees in the back yard would recommend its time for pest spray on the inside of home. We killed 2 cockroaches.
We were warmly welcomed by Anne and Fernando to their exotic Bali style retreat! Our rooms were furnished with quality sheets, comfortable beds and snuggly soft towels.
We were called to breakfast with beautiful music and the spread was fit for a king, delicious local fruits, jams, croissants and much more.
Quiet location, gorgeous gardens, pool and just a short stroll to the beach.
Perfect hosts and very helpful guiding us to great spots to visit during our holiday.
A must stay if youâre looking for hosts who will spoil you in every way to make your holiday a memorable one!
Anne and Fernando have created a delightful and peaceful retreat at Newell Beach. Our room and ensuite bathroom was clean and beautifully appointed and we appreciated the little extras that were provided to make our stay so enjoyable. The beautiful gardens provide a welcome place to relax, read, watch the birds and the pool was wonderful. Our breakfasts were fabulous! We highly recommend staying at Manta Ray BnB. Thank you Anne and Fernando for your warm and generous hospitality

Absolutely fantastic!!! Gorgeous bali style rooms with beautiful tropical gardens and pool. The owners are beautiful people, and thought of every little thing to make our stay peaceful, comfortable, and our own little piece of paradise. Breakfasts were delicious and we loved our morning coffee and chats with Anne and Fernando. My 13 year old actually thanked me for booking and said he'd miss our holiday home. We loved the many cute and quirky garden ornaments and statues. We loved our comfy 4 poster beds and beautiful shower. We did not want to go home and had the best holiday we've ever had visiting the reef, the crocodiles and the waterfalls! We saw so much wildlife and gorgeous scenery - we need to go back!
From the time we walked through the front gate, through the bali inspired gardens, my daughter and i loved every minute of our stay at Manta Ray. Anne and Fernando were so lovely, sharing stories over breakfast and giving us great ideas of where to explore next.
The pool was warm and welcoming on our over cast day. That and the surrounds melt away any stress you have. Topped off with the best sleep in a very comfy bed.
As we hugged our hosts farewell, we promise to return.
