Quaint retro cottage in central location
A lovely cottage full of character. Perfect location to Halls Gap only a 5 minute walk away. Large front yard with a fire pit, the cottage set back from the main road so it is very quiet. So many small details to help the stay more comfortable. Caters to family stays with lots of books and games for all ages. Heating was great with wood heater, inverter, and wall heaters.

This property was beautiful and homey nestled in amongst the national park but a very short walk to the main strip. Everything we needed was provided and the host was great at communicating with us. Would definitely recommend this host and property!

This is a house in the midst of nature where you wake up to kangaroos nibbling on grass and emus strolling outside the window. The house is well equipped and close to trails and walking distance restaurants. Thanks Jennifer for having us. We enjoyed our stay alot.

Cozy cottage walking distant to local shops :)
I really enjoyed my week stay here, cozy cottage with all the basics you need and it's the perfect place to have a relaxing time away. Every evening, kangaroos wander onto the property to graze. The property manager Jennifer was quick to respond to any questions I had and I will definitely be staying here again in the future!

A perfect stay for a girls climbing weekend
Jennifer was such a great host. We weren’t sure if we would make it because of the bush fires but she was so easy to communicate with and willing to refund us if we couldn’t make it. Luckily we were still able to get there! It’s such a beautiful little house so close to halls gap town centre. We were surrounded by lots of friendly wildlife every day. The place was so quiet and cosy with everything you could possibly need including some fun board games! I would love to stay here again. Thank you Jennifer!

Lovely cottage at Halls Gap
This cottage perfectly fulfilled my needs. Wonderfully tranquil, excellent value, and a great location from which to explore the Grampians. No wonder the local wildlife make it their home.The Kookaburra cottage (or the Manna House) will now be my place of choice whenever I return to the Grampians. By the way, Mount Abrupt is a corker of a hike.

Fantastic house. Perfect for a family holiday.
The property is beautiful and clean. My daughter loved the bunk bed and was super delighted. The property is central to the halls gap town & visitor centre and the hotels are close by. The lookout points are also close by and very relaxing. I loved the fireplace. The kitchen is well-equipped with almost everything you need if you are planning to cook. I would love to come back to stay at this property again. Thanks a lot, Jenifer for hosting us at your Kookaburra cottage.
