The Manor House, Daylesford, is an 8 bedroom and 8 en-suite bathroom property. This magnificent, vast home was purposely built giving consideration to both privacy and group stays. There is ducted heating, a double sided wood fire place, ceiling fans and split system air conditioning. Guides prepare group meals in the kitchen and group dining is around a large bespoke table in the main dining room inside or in the large outdoor barbecue and dining area. All linen and some toiletries are provided at this lovely accommodation.
This tour by it's very nature is not designed for the 5 Star Traveller. It is for the girl who has an 'adventurous spirit' and is looking for a unique and rewarding 'experience' (Once in a Lifetime)! You should be able to adopt a "Go With The Flow" attitude, after-all we are in a foreign country and things don't always go to plan...this will help you chill out and therefore get the best out of your holiday.
You will also need to be mobile without assistance - some of the sights require you to be on your feet, navigating steps and uneven surfaces at times. We also have a couple of walks as part of this tour - these walks can be achieved by anyone with a general level of fitness, but again mobility is the key, as with all of our tours.
Notice of cancellation must be in writing, with an email as an acceptable form of communication, directly to Adventurous Women with the following conditions:
No refund is available after departure of a tour has commenced.
Absolutely sensational! Had THE best time, ticks all the boxes! Elijah and Remy were simply excellent, totally professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - could not ask for better hosts. This trip was absolutely awesome, a fabulous group of ladies and to top it all off, snorkelling with whale sharks and manta rays in a mating frenzy… wow!
Awesome trip away as usual..the food was great! thank you to catering for my food intolerances. The two Sue's were awesome..so caring and made sure everyone felt included and safe. The area we walked in was sooooo beautiful, every day was different and it was so great to be out in nature even when it rained 😜
Pemberton to Northcliffe was my first trip with Adventurous Women and will certainly not be my last. Everything about this trip was exceptional and reflected the work of an amazing and very experienced team who are all totally devoted to ensuring that each participant has an amazing experience. Sue O and Jazzy are two amazing and inspirational ladies who have extensive knowledge of the track and are so willing to share their expertise with you. This amazing team are a shining example of excellent team work and the delivery of exceptional service with a very 'can do attitude'. Felt very safe in their company and knew that they genuinely wanted us all to have a fun, safe and enjoyable trip and that was achieved at every step of the journey. Food was exceptional and in plentiful supply and very suited to the needs of hungry walkers. An overall amazing experience with an an outstanding organisation and with fellow walkers.
This was my first multi day hike and I am hooked! I learned so much about hiking and I learned a lot about my ability as well. All the ladies were fun, friendly and supportive of each other, great camaraderie and our guides - well they are hiking angels who made our weekend the aboslute best.
Another fabulous AW trip. I come hiking with AW for a Mum vacation. I feel cared for by the fact all the logistics are taken care of, time in nature and with like minded people. Guides who create a positive experience for all. I enjoy the personal challenge that each walk offers.
Every aspect of the trip as always is considered and planned out to maximise enjoyment, ( including the epic cooking).
This was an amazing adventure. The organisation was flawless and Sue provided us all with an empowering, once in a lifetime experience. All services Adventurous Women selected as part of this package were top quality, with supportive and encouraging guides. I thoroughly recommend this trip and any adventure that Sue pts together.
