Keith and Denise were great hosts, extremely welcoming and friendly and with a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding areas. They recommended us some lovely, local places to go for food and drinks.

Each morning Keith laid out breakfast of cereals and toast, alongside his homemade jam. He was even kind enough to lend us spades and pan, so we could go gold panning.

In terms of the accomodation, it was full of character and very homely, comfortable beds and clean to a professional standard. Keith and Denise were even kind enough to give us use of both of the rooms for let.

The location, Hayes Estate is a very modern and peaceful area. There is a very nice cafe/restaurant a few minutes walk away, Graze, which we recommend. Also there are the Stoneridge and Arnisfield wineries 5 minutes drive away. If you like serious food and wine, drive to Arnisfield and have the 'trust the chef' meal, with paired wines, then walk back along Lake Hayes; awesome!

All in all a great stay, very good value and definitely worth a return visit.
