Tucked away in a dead end road surrounded by native bush this characteristic log chalet offers superb privacy. It has an outdoor spa and 2 large sunny decks with rustic furniture. Manuka Lodge is often used for wedding nights for it’s romantic and secluded location. Manuka lodge is a pearl of a log cabin… with all the luxuries supplied from outdoor spa to dishwasher and a fantastic DVD selection to relax by on a rainy day. The living area is not big but cozy with a logfire and built-in fireguard. The chalet has a well equipped kitchen with oven, microwave, stove, big fridge/freezer etc. The downstairs bathroom has a shower, toilet and basin. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a comfortable queensize bed and an extra ‘gaming’TV. A second small bedroom offers a double bed. On the open mezzanine are a double, a single and a trundler. Manuka lodge can handle 6 adults max – just let us know if you want to bring children (max 3). The mezzanine opens up to a balcony, a great place to have your morning coffee. The outdoor deck area is absolutely superb with, besides the spa, a rustic macracarpa table and bench and on the far deck another modern diningtable. 2 comfortable cape cod chairs can make you dream away… Plenty of space for sunbathing, just surrounded by private bush. Note that the spa is a bonus but not a given (due to unforseen circumstances it is not always operational). A track takes you down to Lulu’s creek – great for a little play on a hot day. The fireguard and stairgates make this chalet very childfriendly. Your group will have exclusive use of the lodge during your stay. Note that bedlinens are not standard included but can be arranged on request. No cell phone coverage or wifi: that is why you want to be here ! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - TV - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Snow sports gear - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55960000/55958500/55958406/73f1c4a5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious log chalet with free WIFI, great for a few families Mt Lyford - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=55958406&PinnedHotelID=55958406&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/55000000/54820000/54812100/54812098/76261ded.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cute and comfortable log cabin in the mountains perfect for a couple or family Lyford - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 26 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=54812098&PinnedHotelID=54812098&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106430000/106423200/106423103/f408cddd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mt Lyford | Hot Tub | Epic Views - ML3485, Hot Tub | Snow | Epic Views Mount Lyford Village - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews £186 includes taxes & fees 28 Sept - 29 Sept [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-28&endDate=2025-09-29&selected=106423103&PinnedHotelID=106423103&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55190000/55189200/55189165/b2207034.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Log cabin in the mountains with indoor climbing wall, perfect for a family.
