There wasn't facilities to reheat food and the kettle was really small in terms of usage. The TV was really old and couldn't be used to access Netflix or any subscription channels. There was a in house cinema which could be booked at first come first serve basis and the complementary wine tasting was average at best

While the place is immaculate and the staff lovely it is located very close to a noisy road. It’s not a problem if you keep the window closed as the double glazing is very efficient but if you want to sit outside on the lovely deck it’s pretty annoying and not at all what we expected for a luxury vineyard escape.

Wonderful lodge

The resort was wonderful with a spacious lodge, large and comfortable bed and bathroom. Great amenities. The wine tasting in the cellar was a lovely addition to the stay. The lodge is on the main highway however so the road noise is quite impactful when trying to relax on the verandah and even during the night.
