What our other guests had to say

This has been a most glorious stay. To us this was like a home away from home with something a little extra! With quality fittings and fixtures you have made this stay extraordinary in every sense. If only we could stay longer. This is no ordinary level of accommodation. Well Done. ***** 5 Star

My family had 4 days in Vintners retreat, and we enjoyed a really relaxing stay. Lovely accommodation, enjoyed the pool, the fibre internet was fast and kept the kids' iPads happy, and nice and centrally located to the wineries.
