The lodge is an amazing place to stay: it is private and beautifully decorated. The proximity to the horse trail means that you can easily walk to the Epicurean and, if you are feeling like it, walk to Merrick's Store. The wineries close by are too numerous to mention.
Elise is a wonderful host, the freshly baked bread and brownies had been something we looked forward to and they were delicious. She also left a fab bottle of red and plenty of tea/coffee/milk. The toiletries provided were great, so much so that I am going to buy the handwash for my own bathroom. Then there was the bedding...everything was so well done. If you were to have this standard of accommodation in a hotel, you would pay a fortune. We would definitely stay again.
