Stay among the vines!

Dara Cottage is a fully equipped holiday home in the middle of a pinot noir vineyard, and next to some great winery experiences.

The home is a colonial style cottage with wood features inside. It has a west facing deck for afternoon drinks and BBQ, as well as a large private garden. A north facing sheltered porch is just the place for morning coffee while taking in the view.

The cottage is perfect for that weekend get away on a vineyard and has beautiful views over our vineyard to the hills beyond.

Complimentary breakfast supplies consisting of our own free range eggs, bacon, bread, milk, butter, jam, plunger coffee, and Twinnings teas are supplied for your first morning.

Freeview TV and a chromecast will provide evening entertainment as well as the odd jigsaw puzzle and board game. The kitchen is well equipped for six people and there is also a cozy wood burner for winter.

Free wifi and great cellular coverage.

"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
