Always happy with Stayz, easy to book and I was kept well informed, the accommodation was excellent and well kept, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting the country experience.
We had a great weekend at manna gums with friends. The accommodation was beautiful and the hot tub was a great touch. We ran out of gas for the bbq and we were impressed at how quickly the owners responded and sorted this.
Would definitely stay here again if we get a chance to come back to Daylesford!

Hi Darius
Thanks for you lovely review and glad you enjoyed your stay at Manna Gums
I had a fantastic stay with friends. The house is very clean, great location, has everything you need and the spa was great. Disappointed that the wood fire was too damp to have a fire in the outside pit. I suggest the wood to be kept in a drier place and fire starters to be provided.

Thank you Natalie for your kind review. We have taken your feedback about the wood to action.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property had everything we needed. They had thought of everything including shampoo conditioner and body wash.
The big spa was a hit! The fire pit was so enchanting looking out to the most beautiful view of farm land. So roomy for our big family. Very comfortable bedding and linen.
The house decor was so tasteful from the artwork sofas and even the cushions.
Highly recommend 🙌

Loved the outdoor areas and the view to the nearby farms. Thank you.
We could not find the green bin initially and then it appeared the next day with recycled items in it?

Thanks for your review, glad to hear you loved the views of nearby farms.
I stayed here with family and it was the perfect getaway.
As represented on the photos.
Communication was excellent, very responsive.
House had everything you could need and more. Pantry essentials like salt and pepper, glad wrap, afoul, hand soap. Bathroom essentials including toilet spray, which is almost always overlooked.
The hot tub was great, and we spent the afternoons relaxing in it with a sneaky cocktail.
We cooked all of our meals for the four days and we had everything we needed.
I would definitely recommend it for family and friends.

We love the outside entertainment area and the spa area. The short walk to the Farmers Arm Hotel is a winnner! We hope to host you again
Great location, great space for 2 families to enjoy a mini break! It was hot so would have loved to have air con in the bedrooms. Property manager was very helpful when we had questions, great to deal with. Hot tub was a great little space for us to enjoy too.
