Manuka Lodge Ventnor with fantastic views & great for families

We stayed here for 5 days. It was amazing. Beautiful place Excellent view and very big. 2min walk to the beach. We saw many wallabies and rabbits. This place is very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped. This is a wonderful home that we will go back to. The hosts are excellent. Highly recommend Manuka Lodge.

Spacious home with great heating for the winter break. Views to love and a beach at the doorstep. Lovely quiet area for a family group.

Manuka Lodge in person is even better than the photos! The views of the ocean are incredible and it only takes a few minutes walk from the back gate to get down to the beach. The backyard is fully enclosed but there are rabbits nearby so I wouldn't trust your pooch to not jump over the low lying fence. Penguin Parade is less than a 10 minute drive down the road, and getting into Cowes for restaurants is only about 10 minutes. We would gladly come back to stay again.

We had 5 nights at Manuka Lodge over Easter with all of our family. The house was spotless and the grandchildren had a great time in their own rooms downstairs with a separate sitting room with a TV and soccer table. We adults enjoyed the views and outdoor deck upstairs and we were blessed with great weather. We virtually had the whole beach to ourselves which was a short walk out the back gate. The backyard was nice and secure for the children to play outdoors. We visited the Antarctic Centre, the Penguin Parade, the Koala Sanctuary and Churchill Island with a 4 Park Pass for $41 per adult (RACV) and when you add the free attractions like the Nobbies Boardwalk, the Forest Caves Walk and Pyramid Rock, we had days filled with entertainment for very little cost. Thank you William and Helen for sharing your home with us and giving us some wonderful memories shared with our children and grandchildren. We highly recommend this property.

House views are amazing !! Breathtaking! You see the sunrise and sun set . We all absolutely enjoyed our stay . Kitchen fully equipped , house has everything you need. Kids and teens loved all hanging out down stairs . Rooms were warm with heaters . All kids didn’t even want to leave ! Us adults enjoyed the fire place and views So much we all just stayed in and cooked every night. We all enjoyed daily walks down to the beach which views and walk was amazingly great ? dogs loved every minute. Backyard is fully fenced so our fur family enjoyed running around . We all will be back again as we all loved the house which have to say had a warm and inviting vibe . We all gave the house 5 stars out of 5 :) Thank you Bill and Helen You have created a beautiful home for everyone to enjoy ?

Perfect property for 3 families, 6 adults & 6 kids. Kids loved to hang out downstairs. Lots of spots to sit and see the fantastic water views with beach walks at your back door. Our dog loved chasing the waves when she wasn’t in the fenced yard. Fireplace kept us toasty warm at night. Good communication with owners. Quiet area of Phillip Island. Would love to visit again. Thanks Bill & Helen

A beautiful located holiday house. However, it could be even better with a new coat of paint and possibly some new furniture. The house was fantastic otherwise and the experience living there was magnificent.

Beach was close, house super relaxing , it’s a great place for a get away

Excellent property within moments of the sand and sea . Quiet location , everything for a family or friends group . Perfect blend of retro island beach house with all the amenities you need. We are planning to be back very soon. This is genuine R and R with views of a beautiful region of Victoria . Pop a bottle of bubbles and spread out the nibbles before your BBQ and the working world vanishes.

Was a good sized home for family and friends even better with the dogs. Enjoyed our first visit to Phillip Island.
