The propery is stunning with views across the vineyards and treed forests. It was a luxuriously relaxing stay beginning with a cuppa while watching the resident wildlife.The accommodation is excellent. Spacious rooms with modern country comfort. Restuarant served great food, coffee & wine. The local pub is also a great dinner option.

Enjoyable stay in modern room
We enjoyed one night in a Queen Room in the homestead
The room was refurbished, modern and clean with good amenities. There is a modern, well equipped communal kitchen and lounge area for the guests in the 9 rooms.
The homestead is a short walk away from the main building.

The receptionist was lovely.
The wine tasting was generous but we did feel like we were being rushed.
The dinner onsite was delicious.
I would come again.

Disappointed
Winery and tastings were great.
Cheese platter matched with the wines was exceptional.
Staff in the winery were so nice and helpful.
Reception and accommodation were a different case.
We had reserved a room with a vineyard view but were allocated a different room {no view}.
After checking the key tag, I noticed that the name was different to mine. After several conversations with the receptionist, we were issued a new set of keys to another room. This room was next door to our original room and the exact same as prior.
Receptionist was not at all helpful in any way, simply stating "that is all we have"..
Website stated that there was a restaurant on site only to discover that it was not operational.
Was offered a brochure that contained dining options locally. After you had sampled wines??? you were to drive to another place for food..
Room was small but comfortable.

Do you have a potential sound warning in cold conditions for the fans in frosty nights?
The air conditioner/hears was louder than the fans outside. And no spoons in my tent/room.
loved the experience overall

Surprise stay
We had an amazing stay! It was quite a surprise to drive up the road to see such a beautiful place. The room was comfortable and very quiet. Having dinner and breakfast on the deck overlooking the vineyard was special.

The view over the vineyards was idyllic. The dining and wine was excellent and everyone their made an effort to make our short stay memorable. The only suggestion I could make is to remove the pillar in the window at Reception so Sonia has a better view of the vineyards and glamping guests can see the path to their accomodation.
