    “What a beautiful place and beautiful hosts including the four legged one. We had such a relaxing stay…comfy bed, great shower and comfy place to rest after a day out. Close enough and far enough to town. Wineries close by and great morning walks”

    “The property was close to amenities yet quiet and peaceful away from the road. Being the only accommodation on the property meant we only shared with the hosts so it felt like it was all ours.”
