The first impression is one of old-world grace and timeless elegance. That feeling is elevated when you enter the front door with a high stud and exquisite joinery using native timbers.
An ideal base from which to tour the region or a tranquil retreat where time stands still. Let your hosts, Heidi and Werner, guide you through the five spacious suites each delicately themed providing individual charm as well as comfort and complete with fireplace, verandah or balcony. You will enjoy the heritage feel along with the modern conveniences and above all the personal touches on offer.
Start the day with a delicious breakfast in the elegant dining room (or on the veranda). Stroll through the native trees, hear the birdsong, enjoy a game of petanque or croquet. And, as the sun sets, be sure to sample The Peppertree Chardonnay on the wisteria clad veranda, grown in the boutique vineyard just metres from the homestead and made by owner Werner. A wonderful opportunity to speak to a passionate winemaker. You might well think you are in paradise!
Each suite has access to verandah / garden or balcony.
