We have just returned from a blissful 4 night stay at Manzanilla Ridge. The beautiful cabins here are a credit to owners Jane and Dominic, who are just delightful and have done an amazing job kitting out the cabins with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The cabins are very secluded and surrounded by beautiful bushland and wildlife -... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Salcombe Cottage - the most private of them all and it was perfect. My partner had been there with his family and had such a great time that wanted to surprise me with a perfect getaway. I echo the other reviewers. Warm welcome, with the house well lit and lovely Port wine awaiting us.... More

A beautiful atmosphere with total privacy and very comfortable facilities. We would love to go back and would thoroughly recommend to other couples or family/friend groups. Thanks for the experience and for the warm welcome.

Visited again in April. Wonderful once again. Warm hosts who are gracious and approachable but not obtrusive. Snug cabins, small houses really, well provisioned breakfast and the hot tub continues to be a big attraction. Very comfortable and no need to go anywhere much if you don't feel like it. 10 mins to anywhere in the lower hunter. Very well... More

Exactly what the doctor ordered for hubby and I. Secluded and romantic with much desired peace and quiet. The cottage was lovely and well equipped with lots of personal touches. BBQ breakfast and dinners followed by long soaks in the hot spa. Thoroughly recommended.

A fabulous location coupled with lovely facilities and even a bread maker! My husband and I loved walking around the property, cooking a bbq breakfast and kicking back in the pre-heated spa. It came highly recommended to me by a work colleague and I was concenrned that they may have built it up a little too much...but she was not... More

This place is amazing. Quiet. Secluded. Peaceful. But still close to everything. The vineyards, the restaurants... all the Hunter has to offer. Our cabin was lovely. We stayed in the second one, Maracas. The spa was fantastic. Everything was fantastic. Dominic and Jane have done everything right here. We totally agree with all the other positive comments on trip advisor.... More

My partner and I decided to take an impromptu trip to the Hunter Valley, neither of us had visited there before. When reviewing all of the accommodation available I settled on the Manzanilla Ridge. It was self contained two bedroom cottage, secluded and close to the winerys. The photos did not do this lovely group of cottages justice. You are... More
