    If there is one area for improvement, it would be guest parking. In the evenings, with many visitors dining at Pescara, the parking fills up quickly, leaving guests struggling to find space. It would be good if the lodge could allocate dedicated guest parking to ensure convenience for those staying overnight.

    We had a wonderful stay at Hermitage Lodge, and what stood out the most was the tranquility and calm it offers. The atmosphere is serene, very relaxing, and perfectly situated in a great area — ideal for unwinding and enjoying the surroundings. The rooms were impressively clean, well-maintained, and equipped with up-to-date utensils and amenities, making the stay very comfortable. On arrival, we were greeted with a warm and friendly reception, which set a welcoming tone right from the start.

    The bathroom was a bit dated. Both the bathroom door and the shower door need a WD40 treatment. It would be great to have the light switches inside the bathroom, as parents we try not to wake the little one and switching on the lights then opening the door can be disruptive. On Saturday night someone was smoking during shower time, and given there is a passive vent in the window, we couldn't close it.

    The room was clean and well renovated, it stayed warm throughout the stay without needing the air con. It was modern and well styled, the items such as glasses, milk, free water were a good touch. The fencing around the room patio area so our child couldn't get to the pond was a relief. The room was nice and quiet even though we were the closest room to the reception and restaurant.

    Hope there’s more coffee pods option. Otherwise everything is perfect!

    Loving the interior, feels really cozy as you enter. I stayed at one of the lodge and it was so cute, the view overlooking the vineyard is stunning. I only booked for a night as I was in the area for a work event so didn’t get to enjoy more. Will definitely return next time!

    Only wish the check-in time was a bit later than 5pm, so we could have explored more of the region before settling in.

    Had an amazing stay at Hermitage Lodge with my 2 kids. peaceful surroundings, beautiful vineyard views, and exceptional service made it a truly relaxing getaway. Lodge was nice and clean. Closer to Valley Gardens and wine cellars.

    We couldn't get the gas fire place going and because they had no-one on-site we had to wait until the next day for someone to re-set it.

    Great rooms, great view, great location.
