Prashant S. May 5, 2025 12:01:13 PM
Summary: The place was nice and accomodating for huge group of family and we enjoyed our stay. Only negative is that the house was old and the some areas were not clean and we had a frog that came out of the toilet and the shower pressure was low when all bathrooms were used. But overall great and chill place to stay we saw a lot is stars at night and the pool was great and best thing was the coffee machine
Karen K. Apr 10, 2024 01:49:52 PM
Summary: Location was awesome, house was old with updated lovely bathrooms but the overall presentation was dirty , no laundry facilities so not a family friendly property over a 7 night stay , bbq really dirty, with food remains, no tea towels, decking really dirty and unkept garden and grass area. Won’t go back.

Giordana C. Jul 12, 2022 08:07:44 PM
Summary: The home was so perfect for our trip away. From the swing In the garden to the fire place and horses. We used all the amenities and had no real reason to leave except for the occasional winery trip. So many family dinners were enjoyed in the outdoor dining area. Highly recommend and will be coming back

Summary: Great stay with friends!
Mrs Philomena S. May 25, 2021 07:06:38 AM
Summary: Perfect place for a larger group, dog friendly, really comfortable beds. Everything you could wish for in a well equipped kitchen. We loved the great wood burning fire ( plenty of wood supplied) Sunday morning saw mist and the big floating balloons overhead. Lovely horses to pat and feed an apple. Very near to Margan Family Wines ( excellent food and wine ) and also try Running Horses vineyard, great experience due to the owner/ winemaker . We all had a wonderful time and the late checkout was a bonus.
Kerrie E. Apr 7, 2021 08:20:13 AM
Summary: The house is in a good area. The property is picturesque and away from the crowds over Easter. We thought it would be a bit more hidden away, unfortunately, it is right on the road although not a busy one. We had 10 adults staying and two of the beds were really only suitable for children. The kitchen is well equipped and finally a house with decent wine glasses. Plenty of seating in the dining and lounge rooms. Overall we had a lovely long weekend

Summary: The home was perfect for what we wanted, it was spacious and well stocked it really felt like home.
