Heritage Accommodation in Tinonee, NSW
Established in 2008, Tinonee Cottages represent a unique blend of heritage and modern comfort in the heart of the Manning Valley. Our properties, The Manor and The Cottage, are part of a National Trust-listed streetscape, reflecting over 160 years of local history. The Manor, originally a timber cutter's cottage relocated in the late 1800s, and The Cottage, one of Tinonee's oldest residences dating back to circa 1860, have been meticulously restored to offer exceptional accommodation experiences. As third-generation custodians of this property, we combine deep local knowledge with a commitment to preserving architectural heritage while providing contemporary comforts. Our family's connection to the Manning Valley spans generations through historical ties to local businesses like Chapman's Emporium.We offer two distinct accommodation options: The Manor sleeps 6-8 guests and features a vintage cubbyhouse for children, while The Cottage provides an intimate retreat for couples with a spa bath and antique furnishings. Both properties maintain strict non-smoking policies with designated outdoor areas, and The Manor welcomes well-behaved pets. Our management team ensures every detail meets the highest standards, from the fully appointed kitchens to the thoughtfully curated outdoor spaces featuring wood-fired barbecues and multiple seating areas.

We stayed in The Cottage which is just beautiful. The little extra touches were lovely, and the view stunning. We really appreciated the coffee machine, and the spa bath (though a little snug for 2 adults, perfect for one and a soak). Highly recommend, great for a romantic getaway. Even if it was for a family wedding.

Really nice homely atmosphere and feeling, beautiful secluded spot, but close to Taree and Oldbar. Loved having the river right on my doorstep, awesome place to stay in when visiting that area.

Beautiful old home, tons of character, clean and tidy with every convenience you could require. Even doggy biscuits left out for our pup, plus a fabulous (safe) large dog run area out the back if you are going somewhere you can't take dogs. Great coffee just two doors down an added bonus. We will definitely come back to this lovely house.
