Location is wonderful, close to the centre of the town and many wineries. As it’s the last minute booking, we got the last unit left which is an inter-connected double bedroom unit, it got two sets of everything with a shared shower and toilet. Each room is quite large with beds, table & chairs, TV, fridge, microwave, kettle, plates and bowls, etc. most of things a traveler needs. Plunger and instant coffee, fresh milk, tea bags and biscuits are provided. It's nothing fancy at this place but it’s practical and clean, as well as comfortable. BTW, Shower water is good with plenty pressure. The TV in the room is rather small, with my eye sight, I won't be able to watch it from bed. But I'm not there to watch TV, so it's no drama.

Previously I have stayed in the accommodation and dined and both experiences were good. But today we were wine tasting. The spacious modern room allows for groups to share the experience, a private tasting area ideal for corporate functions and of course the bar. Wine flights are now the norm. I prefer this as paying a little respect s the product and staff. The days of buses rolling up and disgorging freeloaders are gone thank goodness. Now there is no rush and and you can savour wines, many not available at resale outlets. Bozena and Marty were great hosts. Recommended +++
