    We were greeted at check‑in by Pepper, the adorable little dog and self‑appointed “customer liaison officer,” who instantly made us feel welcome and set the tone for a wonderful stay. The cabin itself was beautifully tranquil – tucked away among the vineyards, quiet and the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and soaking in the hot tub under the stars was something really special. To top it off, Rose in the cellar door was fantastic – so warm and knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel personal. Can’t wait to come back!

    The wine pod was incredible, probably one of the most magical places we have ever stayed. The view from your super comfy bed looking through the vines during sunrise, sunset and the night skies was absolutely mind-blowing, super romantic. The silence, the deck and the hot tub completed the package. The tiny house is quite modern and it has everything you need if you decided to cook, the heat pump kept us nice and cozy on a very cold night! Great breakfast (including fresh eggs) supplied and the wine tasting was amazing (and free!). Pepper, the wine dog was the cutest.

    Saying goodbye...😫

    Absolutely perfect for our overnight stay. Everything was so nice, beautifully decorated with every appliance you need. Lovely sunset with wine and a massive storm during the night was perfect for this cosy romantic spot. Breakfast supplied was very generous, with all local produce making it delicious. Waking up to a view of a Rainbow in the morning proves this place is a pot of gold

    We were welcomed like old friends, treated like royalty, the staff are so good, making us feel special. Super wine tasting, fantastic winery and set up. The accommodation is fabulous, beautifully laid out, wonderful facilities: the bed, pillows and shower excellent. We enjoyed the pre ordered Steak dinner, meant for two but could feed four. Very generous. we barbecued, perfect outlook over the vinery, beautiful sunset and great hot tub. Heaven on earth.

    The cabin is amazing. Everything has been thought through, there is a small kitchen with a double stove to prepare food and even some breakfast prepared for the next day. The surroundings are a dream and we had the whole area to ourselves in the evening/during the night. The owners put so much thought into preparing everything (bread from a local bakery, small gestures like the carefully selected bathroom products, coffee and tea from local shops) and gave us the warmest welcome. The hotpot is just the cherry on top.

    Absolutely zero complaints!

    An exceptional experience all in all! The wine pod was well equipped and very comfortable, Kirk and the other staff were really friendly and hospitable, and the wines were among the best we've had on our entire trip! And probably the best part was meeting Pepper the wine dog in the morning 😊 We would've loved to stay longer, and we'll definitely be back if we're ever in the region again.

    Surprised you had to pay extra for breakfast orange juice

    The alsolute quietness of the location, the only sounds being natural. The lovely location and views from the deck (and bath tub). The pod is small but ideal for a short stay and comfortably kitted out. The tub is a wonderful addition and filled quickly and easily. I also loved that they providdd the prove ace of the breakfast materials, where they had been sourced locally.

    The pod is a little bit tiny but it is still a must visit option.

    The hot tub in the vineyard is priceless. Sheep all around. We were lucky to be invited to see the Shepard and his dogs in action. Great experience. Completely alone during the night. They provide you with their wine (excellent but obviously at payment) and with a good breakfast. You can have wine tasting during the opening hour. Very romantic place.

    We loved everything about it

    Being in the middle of the vineyard was special. Waking up to the moon going down with the sun rising on the hills was magical for us. It was like looking at a painting each morning.The pod is amazing, small, cozy and stylish with great heating and superb water pressure. We had the perfect combination of food for breakfast left in the pod for us . Our host was gracious at the wine tasting, welcoming and knowledgeable and shared stories about the vineyard. Having a hot tub outside was definitely inspired. We shared the George Road Syrah in the tub watching the sun go down. - perfection
