A truly wonderful destination. Greeted by a very welcoming and gracious host who answered all my questions and gave me excellent recommendations. The room was extremely comfortable, well appointed, scrupulously clean. Hearing the birds and seeing the king parrots was a highlight.

Accommodation was as described, a nice and cosy stay. Greeted on arrival and showed around. The hosts were lovely, welcoming and very helpful. Only ten minutes from Pokolbin, a perfect location for the wine tours. Would definitely stay again.

Great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful country setting complete with sweet resident chicken Doggles. The villa was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back.
