This place was in an absolutely idyllic setting. There were vineyards and baby goats and sheep, just off the back of the property and waking up to open the back curtains and see the view of the mountains and the vineyards was just perfection. Mike at the front desk was super helpful. The amenities were all in good working order. I would go back there for a week or two every single year if I could

The view of the vineyard out our back deck was spectacular! Plus, we were only two miles from Cloudy Bay and Allan Scott wineries which were both fantastic. Huge downstairs and kitchen, and both rooms upstairs were very nice and comfortable. Loved it here!

Beautiful views of a vineyard from the upstairs bedroom. Nice patio for enjoying a glass of wine. Kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook dinner. Nice to have laundry room, including an electric clothes dryer. Everything was clean and functional.

This is a beautiful venue sitting next to a picturesque vineyard. The unit had a full living room, dining room, kitchen and bath on the lower level with 2 large bedrooms on the upper level, with a deck and a large bathroom with a jet tub. There was a washer and dryer in the garage.
Off the living room was a beautiful private yard with a dining table with umbrella and chairs. The property has a solar heated pool and a tennis court. We enjoyed staying here and would come back again

Loved the uniqueness of the property. The fact that it had a little herb garden and we were allowed to pick some of the herbs for our cooking.
The property was a god size, clean and well maintained.
