This is an excellent place to base your South-West Victorian holidays from. We stayed at the Chardonnay Suite over 5 nights and travelled to the Grampians, Port Fairy, Warrnambool and Portland with trips to Budj Bim and Tower Hill. All of these fantastic locations were an hour or less away. It is very central to many tourist destinations or quieter escapes- which is perfect for any itinerary.
The suite itself is very warm and cosy and perfect to relax in after a busy day! There is an AC/heater which heats the room up very well and thick blankets are provided. The mini kitchen comes with an oven/stove, toaster, kettle, microwave and other utensils. It is good for heating up or cooking up small meals. There are take away spots nearby in Hamilton, which is about a 10-minute drive away.
Our favourite part of the stay was the lovely hospitality! We were greeted by Jen and Andrew and we were able to wander around the peaceful farm and meet their very cute (and very well trained )dog! We loved playing fetch with Bear! The vineyard and surrounding farm are so serene and the stars on a clear night are spectacular! The cellar door has a beautiful rustic charm with an excellent selection of wine and food to graze on.
We truly had an amazing time and would definitely come back for the easy accessibility to the coast and the Grampians. The outstanding hospitality we received from Jen and Andrew was a true highlight of the stay!
