💬 Guest love
“Perfect house for five couples touring the wineries and attending a wedding nearby. Everyone had their own space — and better still, their own bathroom! The pool was fantastic, and that kitchen bench must be one of the longest in the Southern Hemisphere. Highly recommend – we’ll be back!”
