"Overall, a great accommodation with character"

9.0

The accommodation is located in a small park and is wonderfully quiet – perfect for switching off and relaxing. I particularly liked the selection of individually decorated cabins: Each is themed, either in the "Hunting" or "Fishing" style, with lovingly selected antiques that create a very special atmosphere. Everything was very clean and well-maintained; you immediately notice that great attention to detail has been paid here. The breakfast, which was delivered directly to the cabin every morning via tablet, was super convenient and a great start to the day. For those who want to prepare something themselves, a microwave is available. This gives you a bit more flexibility without having to forgo comfort. Overall, a great accommodation with character!

While a microwave is provided for simple meals, there are no stovetops or hot plates available, so cooking options are limited.

What a great experience! Location was amazing. Quiet but not cut off. Two accommodations next to each other near owners home but felt private. Owners are fantastic. Funny, welcoming and provide recommendations for meals, etc. Loved staying. Hope to stay longer next time. Breakfast was amazing, thank you!! Best shower! Jerry and Carolyn

Loved it all

"Idyllic themed retreat- a great find"

10.0

The lodge was so comfortable and the owners had paid so much attention to detail to decorate the lodge after its name - The Fishing Lodge. They had beautiful gardens too.

"We had a very enjoyable stay and felt well rested, very comfortable bed."

8.0

Nice self contained unit in a very rural, quiet location but with easy access to the winelands. Dave and Helen were excellent hosts and had put considerable effort in to uniquely styling the two lodges. Breakfast delivered to your lodge at a time to suit with eggs, juice, toast and jams.

Whilst the lodges have a microwave there are no other cooking facilities other than a bbq which we felt could do with a clean.

"Beautiful spot in a great location"

10.0

Great Location but a lovely quiet setting. Our cottage was roomy. Our hosts were a fabulous help with local restaurants and wineries. We had steak on the grill one night...my husband learned a new trick: slipping an oyster inside a steak. Carpet bagger! 😆

Wish we had more time!
