Mana with kids: a family stay on Salt Beach

Mana was built for gathering, and that includes the youngest members of the group. Here is what makes a family stay easy, and a little planning that helps.

Space to spread out

Four ensuite suites mean parents and kids can have their own corners, and the open living areas keep everyone in sight without being on top of each other. The heated pool is the centre of most family days, and Salt Beach is directly opposite for the older kids and the confident swimmers. The beach is patrolled on weekends and public holidays through the warmer months, so swim between the flags and check conditions first.

What is already here

The house keeps the basics families need on hand, including highchairs and a small library of children’s books and games. Cots and prams can be hired locally and delivered before you arrive. If you would like the fridge stocked and groceries unpacked before you walk in, that can be arranged ahead of time.

Easy days out

The coastal path is flat and pram-friendly, and the house bikes make the ride to the village simple. Salt Bar & Bistro is a relaxed, family-friendly spot for an early dinner, and the village cafés are an easy walk for morning coffee and a babyccino.

A calmer arrival

Check-in is from 2pm, NSW local time. Sorting rooms and a rough plan for the first evening before you arrive makes settling in with tired little ones much smoother.

When you are ready, check live availability and book direct for the best available rate.
