Stunning location

Lovely hotel in stunning grounds. Friendly reception staff. Great to be able to hire bikes to cycle the reusking trail. Some complacency amongst the cleaning team which I believe is outsourced so it wasn’t up to the usual standards which is why I’ve marked it down. Beds were nice and comfortable though and facilities were good. A lovely pool if a little cold 😊

Our stay was very good overall. Only issues are the local bird's cockatoos making a riot until 10pm. Only other issue we found it had to find a restaurant open in the area for dinner, we drove to norlunga for dinner. I noticed the property only had a few rooms that were empty that night. So it supprised me how few dinner options were open in the area on a Wednesday. But still happy with our stay

The wine tasting was a little disappointing when we realised the wines we were tasting and bought are available from bottle shops and cheaper. I have a feeling that when the tasting is complimentary because you are a hotel guest, they don't bring out the more exclusive wines. The reason you go to a cellar door is to taste wine that you can't buy at Dan Murphys. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay,
