This is a 200 year old property that has been lovingly restored. The reception currently closes at 2 in this wintertime but if you email someone will get back to you. They organised the booking for me.
I arrived after midnight. The air conditioning unit is quite sufficient. Much better than most hotels. There was a small portable heater I popped into the bathroom to warm it and the bedroom attached while I had a 3 hour sleep and it was wonderfully cosy. Made starting the day much easier!

I chose this property specifically for its location and unique features.

I stayed in the Convict Cottage. Great lighting in the bathroom, double shower, over mirror lighting.
Large built in robe with cute barn doors in white and modern frameless with comfortable not too soft, not too firm and very smooth linens.

Overhead light and also nice bright warm coloured vintage style lamps.

The mini fridge is actually cold and big enough for a large takeaway bag, has a freezer area that is cold enough. Clean and shiny sink and windows in the kitchenette that let natural light in.

The bedroom is separate. It is not a studio in case the pictures aren’t clear. It has its own front and backyard and you can park just outside the hedges in front of the path.

Couldn’t get my phone or iPad to hotspot to the tv so consider a portable modem for a longer stay. Free to air works perfectly.

I will be staying again very soon.

We booked 5 rooms for a family getaway for the weekend. The rooms were comfortable enough. However TVs did not work in 4 of the rooms. We had a pleasant saturday afternoon doing the wine tasting at the Cellar Door.

The restaurant was not opened for breakfast. All in all, a nice weekend.

The property is not as represented on the web - the rooms are filled with spiders ( we had the plumbers shop) and they don’t disclose adequately that you may have to walk up stairs inside the room to sleep with bed top and bathroom below .. so make sure you are healthy enough to go up and down at night to go to bathroom is fun.
Back spider issue this was not one or two we are talking dirty rooms filled with all sorts of spiders .. spider webs that you could tell are not even being cleaned by the cleaning team ( sheets were clean but we had to pull beds away from walls because of this )

This is one of the worst stays I have ever had in my life - highly do not recommend this - we almost stayed in our car it was that bad !!!!

one downer was the fact the restaurant isn't open for dinner on a Saturday night, we had the weekend planned and dinner at this beautiful place was on the list, our fault for not looking properly? perhaps. we just assumed. luck of the draw with rooms, yes, all superior but some are better than others. needed to really look at the offerings and try to pick. saying that, we loved the room we were in it just wasn't the one in the photo we saw booking online. the dude at check-in and in the cellar door really sold the place with his enthusiasm (and his red hair) his recommendation was next time try for room. 28?

Its not accommodation if u expect luxury but it was nice.

However the restaurant was closed. The chef had quit. No warning no information during the booking process regarding the restaurant being closed.

We booked wanting to stay not drive and experience the restaurant and wines. Not to be. So we just left the next morning a tad disappointed with the service

Historic property with remodelled buildings. We stayed in former owners cabin. Large but limited lighting, AC not made large rooms, bathroom fine, property excellent, reception closes at 5 PM, property in midst of estate's vineyard, an excellent free bottle of their white wine. You need a car to access local shops and dining except lunch at facility. We loved it but it has limitations for some folks.

We have been to this property ages ago. It was wonderful back then. We came back for the memory and short break. Well the office was closed and we only saw a person when we checked out. Oh and there was a friendly worker guy but it was as if we were not there. I certainly did not feel welcome. Very anonymous. The restaurant where we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast years ago was closed. Permanently. We were told we could get a 'breakfast pack'. No thanks. In the two days we stayed it was so empty and isolated. The bathroom ceiling had a 'skylight' makeshift from perspex. It fell in almost and my hubby had to get on a chair to lift it up to secure it. The chair itself, thank God it didn't collapse. No he is not a heavy guy. Heaps of dirt and bugs fell out of the ceiling when he put it back. The fan in the bathroom didn't work. It was a nice stay but its just getting so run down this property. The scenery is magnificent though. And it is comfortable sort of. But the wifi doesn't really work properly and drops out all the time so you got to keep logging in. It's relatively clean though apart from the above and would be a great place to stay if there were more people to chat with over a cuppa in a cafe or a breakfast or something. You got to drive like 10 minutes to find a bowling club and certainly no shops. Would be nice if it had a shop also to buy things. Like cake, coffee, chips, ice cream, snacks etc. This place could really be jumping if they became more people friendly.

The property location is peaceful and quiet. The rooms or cottages are a little rundown. We stayed for 3 nights. No towels changed. The first room we were given the fridge was very dirty. But to be fair we were quickly moved to another room. Overall it was a pleasant stay,the history of the estate is awesome. Would probably not stay again. Just didn’t suit my needs.

It was very disappointing. The room smelt very musty, the carpet looked very old and the whole room is in need of replacement. Whilst “antique” furniture may be in keeping with the age of the property the furniture in our room was more than past its best.
There were cobwebs on the door and dead insects trapped in the window- which also needed cleaning.
The television is situated above the sink which makes viewing somewhat awkward.

It is a beautiful property - the grounds are well kept and attractive and we appreciated the heritage buildings. The room was well equipped and the bed very comfortable. However, it was very musty and there were a lot of cobwebs within the room, and a few spiders. A thorough clean and dust and a good carpet deodoriser would help. There was no information in the room at all about facilities or anything, but we found out that the restaurant only opens on weekends. We drove into Nowra for food. We got a half price deal midweek which was great but would not want to pay full price for our experience and will probably not return.

2 Star Wedding Venue

This is not a 4 star facility, it appears that there has been minimal maintenance in recent times. The AC had broken louvers which vibrated loudly making it useless, the TV worked for a maximum of 10 minutes, the front doors didn't lock properly and the back door couldn't be opened. The restaurant is only open Saturday nights and it appears that this is for the sole benefit of wedding parties. Staff are pretty thin on the ground although those we met in the winery were both friendly and efficient. Overall it was a very disappointing experience which we will not repeat.

We tried to open windows and then realised there was holes in the fly screen so we couldn’t open the windows or we would of had mosquitoes in our room. My partner then went to reception to see if we could change rooms. But there was no one there.
