We enjoyed our stay The room and view were beautiful. We had great weather and sat under the verandah in the evening with many visiting kangaroos for company...was fantastic. I do wish we had known prior to check in that dining is no longer available on sight. But were able to find other dinner options close by.

It was so nice to wake up to roos just outside the tent door. The bed was so comfortable. It was great that staff had put the air con on in the tent early for our arrival on a 40 degree day. The bathrooms were very clean and the shower was fantastic.

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.

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 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.
