   Our guests have always been intrigued with the changes and activity at Manyung Gallery. My favourite was when we had international guests and Manyung had a wonderful exhibition with apparently suspended spheres, in fact’ ‘globes of the world” suspended in midair, above their tripod stands. A magic drawcard. this is a great Australian Gallery
   78 year old James Egan, a fabulous world reknowned artist ,gave 4 days of talks over dinner for the invited guests back in March. Where else would you want to see the likes of James Egan, who sold his art to Imelda Marcos and Princess Diana His over dinner stories and his fabulous production of wonderful art were greatly received and enjoyed by those present. Well done Manyung Gallery.

   A brilliant setting - you can quietly contemplate amidst wonderful art pieces, or catch up for a coffee or light meal surrounded by sculptures and artworks. Special treats are exhibitions by guest artists from time to time. This really is a wonderful place to visit - do not drive by!

   I love the cosy atmosphere and the friendly welcome of all the operators and staff. The art changes regularly so it’s always worth a visit and the restaurant serves great food, coffee and cakes. My favourite stop over on the Mornington Peninsula!

   Fabulous place to be, pleasurable & intriguing.
   Always great mix of & inspiring modern Artworks & Sculpture.
   A wide range of genres and affordable prices. See up and coming artists at their best in a whimsical surround.
   Relax at the ‘boys restaurant’ enjoying coffee and cake or lunch or dine. With an Opening night – the 1st Friday of each month, you can join in the buss with others and see new works 12 times a year! An absolute must see…

    I have known Manyung Gallery since its very early days and have seen it grow and develop, and mature into the always intriguing, absolutely amazing and inspiring gallery that it is today.

    Manyung Gallery is a tourist destination that should NOT be missed by anyone.
    EVERYONE will find something of interest to admire, and to ponder about.

    I recommend Manyung Gallery to ALL visitors to the Mornington Peninsula.

    Unmissable! Remarkable contemporary and bold canvases from local and overseas artists. For those with a passion for jewellery you cannot go past the Manyung collection of organic and affordable pieces through to the finest of pearls, diamonds, rubies………

    Wonderfully inspiring, controversial and always challenging being in company of fresh ideas, off the planet art and interestingly attired visitors. Spot the artist and grab a possie at the snug. Watching the patrons is as much fun as working out what the meanings are contained in all this modern art. Engage in a chat with anyone and find out unusual things about almost anything. Great Friday nights the first of every month.

    Manyung is a wonderful gallery which changes it’s exhibits on a regular basis and also supports not only local but also up and coming artists. Their Cafe/Restaurant is a lovely spot to linger also. It is always a hit with out of town visitors and is situated in a very convenient location.

    We had the privilege to host The All British Classics Car Club at Manyung Gallery in July. Our members (someof whom are artists themselves) were most impressed at the diversity of the art on exhibition, as well as the warmth of the hospitality provided by John and the Boyz@Manyung. A definite must do! Cheers Ken and Karen

    Manyung is a Peninsula Icon. The gallery directors David and Sharyn are well informed on art and are always happy to share knowledge and educate visitors about the many wonderful featured artists and art in general. It is a friendly welcoming gallery with a focus on an enjoyable experience for the visitor. We love their regular exhibitions and always look forward to catching up with all that attend including the fantastic staff like Pierre and the staff at ‘Boys’

    Have watched this Gallery and the restaurant evolve for several years. Terry Hadler, one of their premier artists, is a favorite of mine. Good to have a place to not only showcase art, but to enjoy the atmosphere and food and if one is so inclined to actually begin to draw/ paint with expert instruction.

    This gallery is very easy to get to from Melbourne and is situated at the gateway to the picturesque Mornington Peninsula. The gallery offers an ever changing array of visual delights to tantilise the senses and every time I visit there is sure to be more new, fresh and exciting works to view. the gallery has a great balance of 2D and 3D works and it is always a joy to explore the various rooms on display. Having a cafe next door is the perfect way to finish a visist with delicious cakes and great coffee. I come from Beechworth ( I have family in southern suburbs of melbourne ) and have travelled quite a bit around Victoria. I really wish there were more galleries like Manyung in other towns for me to visit !

    When a gallery constantly changes its exhibits and brings the artist to you there is no need to visit multiple galleries. Since first visiting the gallery in 2006 we have purchased a number of items and introduced friends. The quality of the artwork has enhanced our lives and price has enabled us to purchase new pieces regularly. Sharyn and David are very knowledgeable and attentive without being pushy. They keep us apprised of new artists and works by artists we like to collect. One of the sculptures in the gallery so inspired us, we designed an entire backyard around it!
    Sunday lunch at Boyz or dinner after the monthly previews rounds off a wonderful experience.

    Manyung Gallery is my outlet and place to become inspired.

    Am hoping by the end of this year to get into art myself.

    For the past seven years I’ve been retired and hoping to get into painting… However, family have come first and kept me busy with 3 weddings, the birth of 5 grandchildren and lots of babysitting which requies frequent trips from Geelong to Hobart and Mornington; that’s where my children and their families have settled. So with little time for appreciating art, I find Manyung offers a high quality, wide variety of work in a friendly warm atmosphere, with cooffe if I have time!

    Love the combination of art gallery, restaurant , casual coffee/read newspaper area and surrounding gardens.
    The exhibtions are aways expertly presented. They have a range of different artistic styles, sculptures, jewellery…
    The staff are interested in customers (including the greying group of which I am a member) and helpful.
    Great place to take out-of-town visitors for a meal andgallery viewing.
    Appears to have all bases covered.

    Manyung is a delight for all the senses! The brick courtyard is shaded by a magnificent tree, the sound of trickling water features relaxes the spirit and the sculptures are enchanting. The smiling staff articulate the welcome provided by the attractive entrance foyer which is always adorned with beautiful, small pieces of art, including magnificent jewellery pieces. The Gallery itself, with its ever-changing array of superb art invites pleasurable lingering and the restaurant is the perfect combination of beautiful ambience,fine food and warmly helpful and efficient staff. No detail is overlooked if Manyung is chosen for a special celebration. Thank you for great times to all at Manyung!

    Manyung has always been one of my favourite places to visit on the Morningotn Peninsula. Wander through the tranquil garden full of various forms of scupltures and water features and then into the Gallery where you will be greated with a warm and casual ambience that makes you feel right at home. Continue past the gallery bar and open fire place, through to the restaurant where you will be treated to a variety of sumptious food, local wines, or, coffe and cake. You will always want to return to Manyung Gallery.

    We bought our first artwork at the Gallery in the late 70’s on the way home from the surf and have bought many paintings and sculptures there since.
    The gallery is a delight to visit and there is always a great welcome from David and Sharyn.
    Lunch at The Boyz (being looked after by Emma and Rhys) is a must but better to look at the gallery BEFORE lunch (when you still have some buyer resistance).

    Everytime I visit my daughter we automatically go to the gallery for an inspection of the great art works ranging in size, price and variety. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Great meals or a galss or wine or just simply afternoon tea.
    I love the fact you can also lay-by pieces or arrange special commission pieces and it is also fascinating watching people participate in the art classes.
    A place I truly love to go to every time… there is always something new to see.
    I also bought my first piece of art work from here a large sculpture.

    Manyung can always be relied on as somewhere exciting, fresh vibrant and cutting edge. The artwork is always different, always new and the staff friendly and warm but not intrusive.As a destination the gallery finishes with a flourish with their superb restaurant…Boyz. You cant do better no matter what the weather.
    It is a place that is unique to the Mornington Peninsula and a must to show visitors from out-of-city, interstate or oveverseas. It is world quality…Australian art showing at it’s best advantage.Good luck Manyung

    The mix of fine art, sculpture, ceramics and jewellery is tastefully displayed making use of the surrounding courtyard and adds to the ambience of the gallery. Painting lessons and an artist in residence, all make for a special friendly place. The association with Boyz for Brekkie is an added bonus.

    One of the joys of Mount Eliza and definately apart of the local culture. This is an escape for those seeking an amazing journey through a variety of comtempory artworks. I endeavour to go to every friday opening to meet the artists and dine at The Boyz@Manyung. For those passing through the Mornington Peninsula on a Sunday, take a stop over at Manyung for a bite to eat and to see the exhibition.

     Set in leafy Mt Eliza, Manyung is a vibrant and upbeat gallery turning over exhibitions by contemporary artists monthly.
     See an eclectic sculpture collection in the court yard, and a stunning jewellery exhibition in January. Glass work also abounds.
     Manyung is well known for combining with local wineries , particularly at its exhibition launches on the first Friday of the month.
     Enjoy the art and the ambience with a quiet drink in the leafy courtyard in summer or a wine by a crackling fire in the depths of winter at Boyz Restaurant, renowned on the peninsula for stunning food and great hospitality.

     Manyung has it all, art - all types and prices, stunning setting, great wine and food. Not to be missed. Allow at least a half day..

     Manyung Gallery, with it’s odd architecture and drawbridge is an arresting building. Inside, the walls host changing exhibitions of interesting paintings and sculpture, a far cry from a decade or two ago when it was all crafty pottery and flower arrangements. The open fires in winter help create an inviting atmosphere the courtyard is picturesque and the cafe cum restaurant is a cheerful and friendly place to enjoy a coffe or a great meal.

123. 30 Roberta Williams
     May 8th, 2008 at 10:28 pm

     From the unique ‘castle drawbridge’ facade you are drawn through the quaint courtyard to admire and appreciate the artwork and sculptures in a cosy environment. You can breeze through or stop to enjoy a meal, glass of wine or coffee. Then take a second look at the artists’ work on show before leaving. It is a favourite of mine. I make a habit of taking my visitors there on the way to the Peninsula. Well worth the stop.

     Manyung Gallery is fabulous. The set-up is whimsical and adventurous. The lighting and rooms are simple and perfect for viewing ever changing contemporary artworks from all sorts of talented artists. I have enjoyed many opening nights (1st Friday of each month) and spontaneous visitis with my Dad and a place to visit with friends visiting the Peninsula. You can enjoy a coffee or a deliceous meal, sometimes a local wine… I am an artist also and hope when my time comes Manyung will welcome me to exhibit!!! fingers crossed X
     Don’t miss this iconic place to see magnificent art for free… I believe to be the biggest gallery on the morington peninsula! enjoy

     Manyung a unique and fascinating gallery that beckons interest. Follow the pathway through leafy gardens filled with ojectsd’art. Inside a warm friendly ambience filled with a wide array of captivating artistic exhibits to suit all tastes. Take your time sit by the open log fires. Wander then ponder the art over a meal, coffee or for the wine lover, a glass of your favourite in the cafe filled with wonderful color and fresh flavours. A great casual meeting place.

     In one venue you can view a vast range and mix of genres and price points for budding art collectors to the most avid. Not just a one room gallery like many, this is worth the stop, and a visit to Boyz the cafe on site is also a chance to experience Peninsula hospitality at it’s best with a glass of local Pinot by the roaring fire or a coffee in the courtyard. My tip don’t forget to peruse the stock room as you just might uncover that hidden gem.

     I am a regular visitor to Manyung Gallery, which presents a new exhibition each month. I admit that some artists are not to my taste but others are outstanding. I congratulate the gallery for its consistent efforts to bring modern art works to the public. The associated Boyz@Manyung is a great restaurant with good food and innovative special functions during the year.

     Last year it won ‘ Best Tourism Venue ‘ on the Mornington Peninsula….a very deserved win.
