Unfortunately, despite the decent ratings i'm giving them overall, there was a wedding on the night we stayed. This of course is a wondaful thing and we wish the happy couple the best. However we went to Briars to have a quiet night in the country, and if they had told us that our room would be directly above the wedding, in a very old, non-sound proofed room, then obviously we wouldn't have booked it. The noise was so loud that we could not even hear the TV. Better communication and honesty required!!

Briars Country Lodge was a good choice for us we were going to a concert at Centennial Vineyards and the bus picks up from Briars. The lodge was competitively priced and whilst the room was clean and bed comfortable and had a pleasant view to the large pond, green lawn and trees thought the bathroom needed a makeover, water pressure was not great and shower head was basic, a few chips in the bath. The buffet breakfast was good, not the choices you get at a high end hotel but for $22 great value.

Beautiful and quiet property. Great getaway for a night or 2. Such an amazing place in this area and this location is perfect. There’s more expensive obviously but if you want simple, clean, dinner options, not fussy and the basics done well at a great price, then this is it.
