Thank you for opening your amazing guest house to us. We had an absolute ball, sunning ourselves by the pool and enjoying the peace and tranquillity your vineyard has to offer.
The design of the house allowed us all (5 people) to have our own space when we wanted it, making it the perfect escape for multiple couples.
I would definitely recommend this house to friends and fully intend to stay here on our next visit to the Hunter Valley
