Ellie's place was beautiful. A wonderful location. Clean, with thoughtful touches—all of the things you could possibly need when away from home. There is a water filter, so no need to cart plastic water bottles with you. There is a coffee machine. Loads of space to have a delicious dinner or night at home. I would mention taking an HDMI to iPhone or laptop if you're interested in a movie night at home via your own streaming services (then you could connect directly to the TV, you can't stream per se).
Uber: I would also allow loads of time for Ubers if you plan on using them, sometimes they are avail quickly, sometimes it's a good 30 minutes before you can find one, book & then get collected plus travel time. Saying this, I think the location is fantastic and recommend it 100%, and plan on staying again; however, it's great to know how much time to allocate in advance when having restaurant booking or cellar door tasting, so thought I would share this with those of you blessed to be future blessed (I would have loved to have known how much time I needed to get somewhere on time)—allow travel time + 30 minutes minimum :)
There are the cutest little ducks in the paddocks, loads of wildlife & nature sounds at night, total bliss!
I feel fortunate to have utilised Ellie's space for a magical weekend, and only wish we had had longer to stay.
