Cosy and Excellent for Families

At first, I was surprised and not happyas the lawn was very long and looked like it had no TLC done to it for a while. Hoping the inside of the house was going to be better. I was impressed that it was, cosy, had a family feel, clean and excellent. We had a few little problems like the hot water ran out on our last night and we contacted David and immediately they fixed it. Same as the lawn too. It was mowed the next morning. It took the mowers over 3 hours to mow because it was just too long. Overall YES I would definitely go back. It's a very cosy,excellent family accommodation.

Just as advertised

While in town for an event at Mt. Bora we stayed for a week at the Harris' place. It was clean and well appointed and best of all close to downtown and near the mountain. I would suggest adding a few more small waste bins in the bathrooms etc.

Weekend Stay

Cottage is quirky and has potential to be excellent as a holiday letting. The bedding was adequate, however, I think pillows need to be replaced. Thankfully, I did bring our own. I believe the owners are making improvements over time which will be good. The stove was not clean and the saucepans I did not even attempt to use. They were greasy and the Teflon coating was coming off all of them. I am not trying to be picky but when you stay somewhere, it has to meet basic needs in being able to cook etc. The place, including the bathroom needed a good scrub. Lovely location and will be nice if things improve.

Needs a thorough clean.

We have stayed in many different qualities of accommodation during a year travelling but we thought this place was pretty poor. In fairness the kitchen appliances, surfaces, etc were clean but the plates, cutlery and pots and pans, etc were greasy and needed a good wash before they could be used. The mice were back and very cheeky, running along the sofa and even burrowing under our backsides while we were sat on it! we moved the sofa to dislodge them and found waste under it. There was stuff under the bed (including something that looked like a surgical plaster - We took a picture). The windows, blinds and fans were dirty. We had a dirty glass in the bathroom (for toothbrushes?) and there were bits of old soap from previous occupants. We also noticed that all the things used in the photos to make the place look nice: pictures on the walls, bowls and vases for decoration, etc., had all gone. The wifi and TV, etc., worked fine. It seems a shame because a good scrub and it would be a perfectly OK but I agree with a previous reviewer that it needs a thorough clean before it's fit to rent out.

Great little home away from home!

7 of us were accommodated in the Manilla home! We didn't need the caravan and found everything we needed in the kitchen and throughout the home itself. Great location, nice and close to cafe and IGA to walk to. Older home but clean. We are all keen to stay again next visit! Thank you!!

Needs some TLC

Unfortunately the stay was short lived. We had booked in for 6 days but due to rodent and bug issues and a general lack of cleanliness in Manilla Cottage we had no choice but to cut our stay. 2 of our party had to sleep in the car due to mice running about in our food. We did speak to the owner and asked for him to try and resolve but when the cleaners arrived they stated that they had done a thorough clean, which was suprising considering spiders in the shower, mouse droppings in the house. Owner advised he had sprayed the property but only a few days earlier. David did try and resolve the issue and we do appreciate that but it did ruin our holiday somewhat. He did provide a full refund but as the festival was on we were not able to get accomodation in the area and we had to make alternate plans for the holiday as to not disappoint the children any further. Manilla cottage does not look like the pictures and really needs some time and effort put in to bring it up to a reasonable standard to let out.

Suited our needs!!

It was lovely to visit relatives and have our own space to return to. The beds were comfortable and it was nice not to share the space with others. There were some issues with little rodent visitors but the owners responded promptly and sent in the exterminators. Overall a positive experience.

Understanding Owners

Our recent planned trip to Manilla Cottage wasn’t to be, with our family car breaking down on the other side of Tamworth. David and Hillary were excellent to work with, and very understanding of our situation, offering us a 50% refund plus a further discount off of our next trip. Though we didn’t get to experience the quality of the house, we did get to experience the quality of the owners. Very pleasing.

Excellent

We love this great place, and we will definately go back and stay in the same house in the future. Very nice and clean, plenty of room and has everything you need and as stated in the ad. Nice 2 bed caravan we didn't get to use as the house was just big enough for me and my wife and 7 kids. Nice warm gas heater even though it was -5 degrees outside. Manilla is also a nice friendly little town which gives us the real country feeling we have never experienced before. We travelled daily to Tamworth everymorning with no Sydney like traffic and took us only 25min each way but for the price I wouldn't have it any other way. It was all worth it. Thank you again David Harris.

Nice and comfy cottage

A small modest older style home/cottage. For an old building it is neat, tidy and well presented. located in a beautiful quiet little town. It accommodated six of us very comfortably and an affordable price, would definitely rebook if ever up that way.

Well worth it.

Overall we thought this was a great place to stay in manila. We were a bunch of paragliding pilots with some non flyers as well so it made sense not to stay at the flying site for us. the property is well maintained and has everything that we needed to have a relaxing and comfortable stay. The caravan outside is really awesome, as is the location - a 3 minute walk into the town. its really handy. I will stay here next time we are over.
