Comfortable room - all clean and tidy plus great location. All we could want for a one night stop-over. We also tried your wine. Superb Pinot Noir and I still cannot stop laughing at the tasting notes.

We have enjoyed our stay here - loved our balcony and having breakfast in the sun. This is the most beautiful, tranquil setting, and our villa was very well equipped. We also loved the beautiful gardens and blossom trees in the vineyard. We will definitely come here again.
Margaret

Large, and room is very comfortable, and a huge bed. Outlook is peaceful and quiet. Surroundings are very comfortable.
Neil

We had a lovely stay with you, so peaceful and tranquil. We even managed a couple of days without using the car, which is great for us on an 8 week tour of New Zealand, and such fabulous wines as well. We couldn't have asked for any more.
Thank you once again.
Christine

We left on Friday just before the office was open, so were unable to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in the little villa. We both loved the garden room villa and will come again. The garden and a view of the vines from the picnic tables was just wonderful. We even enjoyed the little rabbits that visited us morning and evening.
We enjoyed meeting people in town, at the restaurants and out wine tasting. We both really enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much.
Robyn

Thanks for making the past weekend one of the nicest getaways we've had in a long, long, time.
Steve

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the break was absolutely perfect. We loved the accommodation and how it is cited to watch the sun go down in the evening. Your lovely sunny welcome made us feel great and this carried right through the weekend. The wet area showers are just great for anyone with disability issues and the open plan room would be really suitable for people with mobility issues too. We loved the wine (both kinds) in the rooms and having a little fridge was great. The breakfast was just lovely too (great Museli). The bed was comfortable. We will all see you again sometime soon – so Thanks a million!!!!!
Grace

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - it was all too short.
Your villas are very comfy and spacious, we certainly hope there will be an opportunity to return - maybe spring or summer next time, we were so lucky with the weather this trip though, didn't rain until we got home!
Enjoyed a meal in your cafe - it was superb.
Alison

Just to say "Thank you" for a wonderful stay that my husband and I had at your gatehouse room last night.
Just loved the whole atmosphere, right down to the singing tui bird and then a lovely breakfast
Thanks again and shall recommend your place to our friends.
