Was a Fabulous Retreat to stay at. Very close to wineries, for tastings and meals The 3 bedroom villa was great for the 6 of us. Really roomy and set out superbly. Lovely and clean and the check in service etc was great

Paulette P, Nelson

This has been a most glorious stay. To us this was like a home away from home with something a little extra! With quality fittings and fixtures you have made this stay extraordinary in every sense. If only we could stay longer. This is no ordinary level of accommodation. Well Done. ***** 5 Star
