"Most wonderful time with fire and outstanding hosts. We had a great and relaxing time at BellaManga. Our hosts were very helpful. The staff asked daily how they can help even though we had a self catering lodge. We received great tips and enjoyed walking around the farm and being so close to the animals. For family's a great place."

"The farm is really beautiful. You really feel like you have escaped from city life as you drink in the whispering wind in the trees, the owls hooting at night and the fresh country air invigorating your mind. Our cottage was spacious and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and a closed combustion wood stove that was super effective, making the sitting room an inviting place to relax. Jenny and Chris are wonderful interesting hosts and we thank them both for a truly fabulous stay here. Quiet rooms. Spacious rooms. Thoughtful amenities."

"Amazing! We did an overnight group ride on horseback to Bella Manga this past weekend. They were very accommodating of our horses - they were given free reign of an enormous grass paddock, and our accommodation was split between beautiful log cabins with a central fire pit which we spent a wonderful crisp night chatting around. The surrounding area is beautiful and very tranquil, the cottages are all very well equipped for self catering and have wood burner fireplaces. We can't wait to arrange another visit!"

"Great Stay, very friendly host, awesome location!! We stayed in one of the self catering cottages on the back of the farm. Great house with everything you need. A lot of privacy and very quiet with beautiful nature. The owner was very friendly and very helpful with information."
