Lovely outlook with remaining vines from our window. The majority of the vineyard has been pulled out. Property was super clean and tidy in and around our cabin.

Excellent location for us . We parked our car and rode everywhere we needed by bike. Lovely private unit. We used the bbq each night to cook. We spent a day biking the Dunstan Bike trail and enjoyed a boat ride back up from Clyde .

Wonderful location nestled amongst the vines. Close to eateries as within walking distance of the location. Attention to detail with little extras to make our stay more enjoyable. Our hosts were congenial and provided a thorough orientation.
