Manna Gum is one or four cottages located at Tall Trees Eco Retreat. The property is 170 acres of forest, fern gullies and partially cleared grazing land. We have several walking tracks and glow worms that can be seen at night. We are happy for guests to access any of the tracks on the property by foot only. No vehicle access allowed on walking trails. If visiting in winter be prepared with waterproof shoes. We offer a self-check in service and will send this information prior to your arrival via email. We leave you to your own devices to enjoy the natural surrounds and your downtime, however should you need anything you can pop past the old farmhouse/send us a message and we will assist as best we can.

The Barham River runs alongside the road, paddocks are dotted with sheep and ducks and you might spot the occassional donkey.
