It was magical. Went for mums 60th. Couldn't have asked for more. Lifetime memories to cherish was created here. Everyone had ample space and the house is so gigantic we could enjoy with families, friends and kids without any dramas. Great set up and location. Will definitely return back.

Amazing property and location with plenty of space and privacy!
Amazing place that is perfect to share with your family. The grounds are stunning and the house is very well maintained and stocked. We loved having drinks and watching the sun set over the vineyards in your own private and intimate space. The plunge pool was perfect for an early morning or late evening dip to refresh. Cannot wait to come back again!
