Extremely comfortable

Suzanne was a very generous and gracious host. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the comforts of home in spacious surroundings. The alfresco breakfast served amongst the tropical gardens was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed Suzanne’s company and hope to return.

A wonderful experience

Suzanne was a sublime host. She was attentive to our needs, a great raconteur, provided wonderful breakfast dishes, and gave great advice about what to see and do. We’re well travelled but have never experienced such generosity and care during our stays.

Lovely clean, spacious property about 3km from town centre but in a nice quiet leafy area. Gem of a host who went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was amazing each morning. She also provided tips for things to do, places to see etc. Highly recommend a stay at this piece of paradise. We will definitely be returning.

Very pleasant fantastic location happy peace

Clean. Practical. All amenities covered. Suzanne was a peach of a human being. If you would like to sit under a tree to read your book or mingle with the wild life at botanical the gardens or see great views ( the lookout is very close) breakfast was absolutely fitting and a great start to the day. Don’t be afraid to communicate with Suzanne. 10/10 for me, we will be back for a longer stay. Fab.

Fantastic. Our genuinely kind and thoughtful host Suzanne made us feel very welcome even before we arrived.Manuka Getaway is a lovely cosy cottage in tranquil surroundings yet close to the many attractions that the Maleny area has to offer. The weather was great during our 4 day stay and so we enjoyed our delicious generous breakfasts out on the terrace while we had delightful conversations with Suzanne and it was a real treat to meet Suzanne’s friendly little dogs, Jupiter and Ollie.Suzanne’s thoughtfulness and extra touches were very much appreciated and the cottage had everything we needed as the online photos show. The super comfortable bed was very welcome at the end of a day exploring.We’d love to stay again and will definitely recommend Manuka Getaway to others.Thank you Suzanne .

A wonderful escape

We were so pleased with this accommodation. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with anything we needed if we chose to cook. There was with Maleny milk in the fridge for our tea and coffee. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Our host Suzanne provided wonderful breakfasts to give us the energy to visit the many attractions in the area, and gave useful advice on places to see and how to get there. We were sad to leave and will definitely return another time.
