Captivating Country Escape

PipRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Farm View Cottage is the perfect idyllic retreat! The cottage and surrounds were truly stunning and all the extra little special touches made our stay unbelievably lovely. The delicious breakfast options (including cupcakes with Happy Birthday on - beautiful attention to detail!), the exceptional hand soaps, lotions and bath bombs and the incredible projector screen set up were all extra special. It was private and luxurious and we will be recommending it to everyone we know! Thank you so much, Nick and Marlena!

Outskirt Escape

SamRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Excellent stay, thank you! Perfect location, close to town but being in the edge of the property looking over the vineyards and orchards felt like we were much further away. Whilst close to the main house, it felt private in the space, and Katrina was a great host, very accommodating and welcoming. The tiny home itself was very cosy and homely, and plenty of room!Would definitely recommend!
