Incredible stay

We stayed here with another couple. Leading up to the stay Lynne was communicative and friendly. When we arrived the place and views were beautiful and Lynne was very accommodating without being intrusive. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! We had a fantastic time and would definitely come stay again!

So Welcoming and Peaceful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a fabulous location that was so very clean, welcoming and peaceful. The property owners were so very nice and accommodating, even staying up late due to our unexpected late arrival! We enjoyed our trip very much. We hope to come to the area some day and staying here again would be on our list!

Perfect getaway

The property is beautiful with high end finishes. Lynne and Tony have thought of everything including delicious fruit and nut slices for our arrival. Beryl and Cheryl (pet pigs) are hilarious and really enjoy a treat or two. The outlook was spectacular but an easy drive to facilities. Would definitely recommend.

A slice of heaven in wine country!

We so enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this beautiful property. From Lynne’s very kind welcome to all the thoughtful touches throughout her home. The comfy beds, underfloor heating and fire lit for our arrival, all much appreciated for our winter stay. The location can’t be beat, with gorgeous views to the mountains and so close to the wineries. Only downside was that we could only stay 2 nights! Thank you Lynne for your hospitality and we hope to return some time in the future.

Spectacular

Spectacular views, unmatched serenity. Do not stay here if bright city lights are what you’re looking for - all you see here at night is millions of stars and by day you are surrounded by majestic mountain ranges. The home is very well appointed and seriously photos could never do it justice. Lynne is a gorgeous host and she even had the fire ready for us to light if we wanted it. We didn’t need extra warmth but lit the fire anyway and the glowing ambiance was the icing on the cake.

We had a great time at this venue. Tucked into the hills amongst the vineyards and a short drive to Queenstown and surrounding sights and delights. Wonderful host, who kept us informed of local goings on and things to try. Very amicable and thoughtful. Would recommend!

A piece of tranquility amidst the winelands

Perfect spot to return to for a peaceful evening after a day of winelands, biking, hiking (or winter sports). Everything has been thought of - from generous supply of coffee pods to expansive windows overlooking valley and mountains beyond. Piggies, birdcall and very comfortable bedding extra bonuses. I love finding special little places like this around the world.
