What’s not to like? Amazing views, very clean interior, fridge had egg&bacon and other breakfast food as well as fresh bread and red wine on the table and opera was on. It’s pretty secluded so very quiet and peaceful. Amazing place to crash at after an intense hike nearby! Will be returning again!

Warm and cosy

Beautiful tranquil setting surrounded by forest so much so you barely notice the neighbouring cottages. The loft cottage was immaculately clean with a wonderful and plentiful breakfast assortment left for us to use during our stay. The gas fireplace, heating and spa made for a gorgeous cosy stay. It was evident the hosts took every measure to ensure our stay was welcome and comfortable even before we checked in.

Everything was absolutely lovely (with the possible exception of a slightly blunt bread knife), warm and welcoming (without being intruded on by fellow travellers or staff). The amenities and atmosphere had a lovely old-world charm, without any ‘old&musty’ to it. Our room was beyond spacious and even gave us a bird’s eye view, through a gap on the leafy tree foliage, of the towers of Melbourne CBD in the far distance. it was well stocked, beautifully appointed and truly peaceful. We loved it!

Cute little cottage nested in the trees.

We booked very late into the mid week school holiday for my partner and I and was loathed to pay the rate. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, surrounded by mist and fog, but clear enough at times to see the city highlighted at a distance. A very romantic getaway in comfortable semi private surroundings. It smell of ax when pip first walked in, and mind the 4 poster bed if you're anywhere near 6 foot tall...

This is the second time we've stayed at Arnica Views and once again it was just a beyond incredible experience. Expect total peace and quiet and a warm welcome with music and fireplace on arrival. Not to mention excellent breakfast provisions and a number of small extras and additional touches that make this our favourite place to stay for our wedding anniversary. The Manor is absolutely gorgeous - highly recommend. It goes without saying really, but we will be returning again and again.
