Winter family getaway with dog

We had a lovely stay at this charming property. The location was fantastic for Giraween National Park and some great wineries and the children loved roaming and playing in the large yard. The outside and inside fires were a nice treat.

Fires, wine and warmth

We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful few nights at Pepper Tree. The beds and doonas were super warm and the heated floor in the bathroom was a winner. The fireplace was terrific for gathering in the evening. Mary was so easy to liaise with and while the internet was patchy, we were after a relaxing sress free time. The local wallabies were all part of the charm. Easy distance to plenty of wineries and other attractions. A winner!

Everything was very clean and the house was set up to be very inviting from the moment you walked in. The kitchen had everything needed for general cooking purposes. Games were supplied as was wood for the fire and the towels smelt amazing and were fluffy and white. We’d love to return. A second bathroom would be a great addition- but we know this is an expensive thing to change. At least there was a second toilet.

We had a fantastic stay! The home was exceptionally clean and beautifully presented, with a well stocked kitchen that made meal prep easy and enjoyable. It’s in a great location just a short, scenic drive to some amazing local wineries like Pyramid Road Wines and Balancing Heart Vineyard.Our favourite part was spending the evenings around the fireplace, playing games and sipping on the wines we’d picked up during the day.The bathroom was modern and spotless, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Beds were super comfortable we all slept really well.Mary was a breeze to communicate with, and the check-in process was seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, wine-filled escape!
