About this cabin rental

Manuka Lodge is the best hidden treasure ever! Tucked away in a dead end road surrounded by native bush this characteristic log chalet offers superb privacy. It has an outdoor spa and 2 large sunny decks with rustic furniture. Manuka Lodge is often used for wedding nights for it’s romantic and secluded location.

Manuka lodge is a pearl of a log cabin… with all the luxuries supplied from outdoor spa to dishwasher and a fantastic DVD selection to relax by on a rainy day. The living area is not big but cozy with a logfire and built-in fireguard. The chalet has a well equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, stove, big fridge/freezer etc. The downstairs bathroom has a shower, toilet and basin. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a comfortable queensize bed and an extra ‘gaming’TV.

A second small bedroom offers a double bed. On the open mezzanine are a double, a single and a trundler. Manuka lodge can handle 6 adults max – just let us know if you want to bring children (max 3). The mezzanine opens up to a balcony, a great place to have your morning coffee.

The outdoor deck area is absolutely superb with, besides the spa, a rustic macracarpa table and bench and on the far deck another modern diningtable. 2 comfortable cape cod chairs can make you dream away… Plenty of space for sunbathing, just surrounded by private bush. Note that the spa is a bonus but not a given (due to unforseen circumstances it is not always operational). A track takes you down to Lulu’s creek – great for a little play on a hot day.

The fireguard and stairgates make this chalet very childfriendly.

Your group will have exclusive use of the lodge during your stay.
Note that bedlinens are not standard included but can be arranged on request. No cell phone coverage or wifi: that is why you want to be here !
