Guest Reviews

 
  • "We wished we could have stayed longer. The property was just right for 14 of us (3 families). It was great that all 8 kids could sleep upstairs in the loft room (with the playstation) leaving the adults in peace in the 3 bedrooms. Best thing was the garage that's been converted into a games room where the kids spent most of their time playing fus-ball (table soccer), air-hockey and ping pong. We also spotted a family of kangaroos that ventured near the bushes beyond the patio. Property is located in a beautiful estate built around a golf course and with views of vineyards in a distance. Its so close to all the vineyards too. A really good deal for the price. We hope to come again!"
