    The bathroom should have something to help dry the floor after you take a shower

    I really liked how clean and comfortable the place was. The location was also very convenient, which made it easy to get around. Overall, I felt very welcomed and enjoyed my stay.

    The huntsmen spiders in the room. We understand that they are part of the environment but on multiple occasions, we found one in the room.

    We loved the room! The finishes were really nice and suitable for a pet. Large area for our dog to run around and she loved to look out at the lake.

    Bed was contentious, I loved it, Mrs did not. Can be a little noisy if in the single bedroom rooms if a loud couple is next door. Single rooms have very little seating (no sofa) and no real prep area. The common area accounts for those though.

    Loved the location and the outlook. Animals close by, nice place to walk around and very quiet location. The facilities were great. Dog friendly is fantastic. Probably best for a medium size group (6 or so) if in the single studios, or in the 2-bedroom for 4.

    The pool was minimal, more like a plunge pool. A wider deck would have been more inviting to go in to it. I didn’t mind much because I don’t tend to use pools

    It would have been great to have info before check in on how to arrive eg room number and code. They very helpful when we arrived and called. Also would be good to have some info in the rooms on the property of local things, or have items available to purchase for breakfast.

    Peaceful and beautiful location. Would return. Relaxing and tranquil by the water and onto a few mins drive from amenities or 20 mins from the main winery areas. Comfy rooms and very clean and spacious. The rooms get sun all day round, fabulous position to enjoy the views. Highly recommend!

    Nothing much to say but the only issue was the microwave which seemed broken cause it didn’t heat anything. It would have been nice to have provided the coffee pods since there’s a coffee machine but that’s okay since they provided coffee grounds. There’s no cafe or restaurant in the hotel area so you’ll need to bring your own food. I message the hotel through the app but didn’t get any reply. There’s a small pool but looked like it wasn’t clean and there was some kind of hose inside the pool so we couldn’t use it. The place is nice but there are no other facilities you can use or enjoy.

    We booked the room with 2 bedrooms and living area, room 1. The place was nicer than expected and better than the photos. Spacious living area with a great view and fully equipped kitchen. Although when we used the microwave, it seemed like it worked but didn’t heat anything so had to just use the stove. There’s also a coffee machine but no pods available so you’ll need to bring your own nespresso pods. They give complimentary teas, and coffee sachets, and sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 small packets of milk. They have all pots and pans, plates, utensils available to use. The rooms were very clean and nice. Awesome view of the lake from the entire place. Separate showers and toilets which was great. They provide shampoo, body wash, bath salt for the tub, cotton buds, slippers to wear inside the place etc. the balcony is nice and spacious and has table and chairs so you can sit out with the view of the lake. Overall it was a nice place and would come back again! Ps-love that the place is dog friendly!!!!

    No shower screen of some sort with quite a lot of water going on the floor

    The functionality and simplistic nature of the place was a massive positive for us. The view off the back of the room was picturesque of the countryside.

    Rooms are adjacent to each other as opposed to being separate bungalows or cabins so could be an issue for travelers wanting seclusion or guaranteed peace and quiet, but we didn’t notice the neighbors at all.

    Great view, clean and nice apartment with good facilities. Streamlined check-in and check-out.
