"Our second stay was just as lovely as our first stay a few years ago." - 5/5 Alison November 2024
"A private and peaceful location amongst the vines and orchard, when we visited over Easter. One of the cleanest, best presented, and equiped stays we have had and highly recommended." - 5/5 Don - April 2023
"A truly wonderful spot to stay - peaceful, calm, yet only a few minutes walk to vineyards and a less than thirty mins into the village. We loved the thoughtful touches throughout our time staying, and look forward to coming back!" 5/5 Christy - January 2023
"What an ideal place for 3 ladies to enjoy. Spacious rooms, clean and so well equipped. We did not want for anything. The owner provided us with bacon, fresh eggs, toast, milk and most importantly, ice! Lovely location close to many wineries. Owner personally welcomed us with information on the area plus his dog Moko visited us nightly. Loved it. Highly recommend." 5/5 - Judi January 2023
