Positive Reviews
positive:
Peaceful atmosphere ideal for a romantic getaway.
This accommodation is away from the hustle and bustle of city life, in quiet seclusion where you can relax and spend some quality time with a loved one. The setting is very tranquil and perfect for a romantic break.
positive:
Natural wilderness location and close to wineries.
The location of this place is great, because it’s surrounded by the natural forest and plenty of wildlife but still not too far from the local towns and, more importantly, the famed local wineries that are open to visitors!
positive:
Top notch service from the people working here.
The people running this establishment do a very good job of welcoming you to the retreat and showing you around the grounds. They are always on hand in case you run into any problems, and have lots of local knowledge about things to do in the area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Proper cleaning is occasionally overlooked here.
Sometimes the housekeeping staff cut a few corners and don't clean quite as thoroughly as you might expect. Arriving to a dusty or dirty cabin is simply not on, so report it to a member of staff if this happens to you.
negative:
Some minor maintenance is needed in areas.
There are a few things that let the cabins down, which could be avoided with regular maintenance in place. Worn out furniture needs to be replaced quickly and general repairs should be made before you arrive to stay.
negative:
The rates here are high, you might say overpriced.
This place is far from cheap, and after making a booking and staying here you might even go so far to say that it’s overpriced, depending on your experience. What is certain is that more luxury touches, whether it’s the toiletries or complimentary food, could be provided for the price.
