Fourth visit to this glorious property

Fourth family holiday here, and it feels like a home away from home. So comfortable, cosy, and relaxing. Such wonderful views in all directions. Peta is lovely to deal with, helpful, responsive and accommodating. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Great Getaway

We stayed at the Yellow House with friends for a weekend getaway & loved it. The house is very well equipped with everything we needed & more. It's in a great position on the Bellarine Peninsula, central to everything.

Bridal party accommodation

Lovely big house with lots of character. Perfect for bridal parties getting ready for a wedding on the Bellarine. I stayed in the extra bedroom which was a separate dwelling just next to the main house. My family stayed in the main house. The seperate dwelling is a lovely room. Nice and modern with a very generous sized bathroom. The main house offers beautiful views and a nice garden with a large lawn to enjoy. Would recommend staying here if you’re needing a place to stay for a large group.

Fantastic Stay

Great facilities and setup. Everything we needed to cook and clean was included. Kids had a fantastic time playing uno, dominoes and cricket in the backyard (we brought the cricket set). We would definitely come back and stay again. Thanks.

peaceful place to stop and play

This property is exactly as described, nestled in a private spot among farmland, overseeing a vineyard, sheep grazing. Protected by trees and with ocean views, this was the perfect place to come back to after exploring the many wineries and distilleries of the region. Our only mistake? not leaving ourselves a day just to soak in the peaceful space that has been created. A well appointed kitchen, fantastic dining space and a cosy lounge we enjoyed our time here and really and to ensure we dragged ourselves away to catch flights home!

Peace and privacy

We loved absolutely loved our stay at Peta’s cottage and were reluctant to leave the peace and tranquility. Although the cottage is located on a working farm, we were not bothered at all during the day and it was so magical to wander the site after hours as the sun set. Mannerim is well located in the middle of the Bellarine and an easy drive to all the local towns. The rail trail entry is a couple of kms up the road. Note for anyone with limited mobility, there are a couple of small steps onto the veranda. Watching the sunrise over the bay from the bedroom windows/ verandah made this cottage worth the price of entry. Thank you Peta and her colleagues for providing such a lovely space to make lifelong memories.

Incredible house in stunning location! Will be back!

We had a sensational stay at this property. The photos do not do it justice. Everything was provided for an easy stay, the house was impeccably clean and all furnishing were very comfortable. The setting for the house overlooking the bay in the distance with vineyards in the foreground was beautiful to stop and recharge and only 10-15 mins from point Lonsdale/Queenscliff. We will be back!!
