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.

We like the property surround with kangaroos in the vineyard. The lets down of the stay is the sofa bed in the room is very uncomfortable.

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.
