Wish we stayed longer
We had a warm welcome and the cottage exceeded our expectations. It was quaint and cosy and with the added little touches it really made our stay. Next time we will stay longer.

A great little hideaway
A lovely place to stop and have a break - great place and surrounding areas wonderful to explore. one thing we will comment on thou trivial is a small fry pan in the kitchen / found the bathroom lovely though a bit concerning about the combo bath and shower not very user friendly.and it a bit unsafe especially if guests have any mobility issues. On the whole great place and would recommend .

It had lots of character, very convenient to CBD and generally quiet, there did seem to be quite a bit of heavy truck movement on the road running parallel with the property.

Thank you Eric for taking the time to review, so sorry you experienced some traffic noise during your stay, unfortunately trucks are unavoidable in a wine region during grape harvest, they do truck out the grapes overnight.Hopefully you do come again and experience the peace and tranquillity we normally enjoy.Warmest regardsHeather and Graham

Absolutely lovely
A terrific stay. Wonderful hosts who went that extra mile to make our stay comfortable including a lovely greeting, a full breakfast we could cook (eggs, juice, bacon) our host even went to the shops to get us bread as he’d forgotten it. Just impeccable hospitality. The cottage was snug and delightfully homey with heathers English interior design. Thoroughly recommend.

The review comes through as anonymous, which is a shame as I'd love to know which cottage and date it refers to so we could work out what may have happened to have reduced the rating to a 4. If you are comfortable to message us direct with any feedback, Id really appreciate it. We do our best to make the experience as good as it can be, and your feedback can only help. the score on its own does not.

We stayed two days and two nights - we both commented on the attention we were shown - even before I alighted from the car I was met by both Heather and Graham who showed us our cottage - well maintained, clean and airy. I would highly recommend the accommodation for the peace and tranquillity- we are planning our next visit. Ps bail up either Graham or Heather their local knowledge is excellent as are their stories.
