Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Quirky, uniquely themed 1920s rooms
- Exceptional on-site dining at Manor Suite Wine Bar and Mr Grubb
- Informative and fun wine tastings at the cellar door
Tóm tắt nhanh: It's a charming, eclectic vineyard stay, but the 'included' breakfast is actually just a 40% off voucher for a sister cafe a 15-minute drive away.
Được đánh giá bởi @vinoja.bandara: We just got back from the most relaxing couples trip! Our garden suite was beautiful, we loved playing pool in the lounge, and ending the day in the outdoor hot tub was pure magic. The on-site Thai food was a huge bonus too. We didn't want to leave!

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is there a pool or gym?
No, this is a historic 1920s guesthouse on a working vineyard, so there are no resort-style wellness facilities.
Is breakfast included?
Not exactly. You get a 40% discount voucher for their sister cafe, Fork N Flower, which is a 10-15 minute drive away in Moolap.
Can I bring my kids?
The main guesthouse rooms are strictly adults-only (18+). The separate Vineyard Cottage may have different rules, but the B&B is for grown-ups.
Are pets allowed?
No, pets are not permitted on the property, though service animals are exempt.
Is there parking?
Yes, free self-parking is available, and they even have an EV charging station in the carpark.
Do I need to book the restaurants in advance?
Highly recommended. Both Mr Grubb and the Manor Suite Wine Bar are very popular with locals and book out on weekends.
