We recently spent a family weekend in their Shiraz Cottage for a belated birthday celebration. Despite the inclement weather we had a thoroughly enjoyable three night stay.

Communication with Stacey was quick and welcoming, answering any questions that I had, and we were treated to a personal wine tasting at their View Wine cellar door before checking in. The BnB suite was nicely appointed, the breakfasts tasty, and even in the chilly morning, coffee on the veranda was a pleasure, looking at the view and being greeted by Belli, their vineyard border collie. The room does not have kitchen or BBQ access, though it does have a small fridge and coffee/tea, so the first night we reserved their homemade dinner, which was voluminous and delicious. Heartily recommend starting with the platter of assorted local cheeses and getting it paired with a glass of their estate's wine.
