Very enjoyable as usual.
Pros:

I like the room that I was given as it overlooks the area where I can watch the kangaroos, the horses and the ducks and black swans on the pond are a few steps away. The table and chairs on the verandah are a good place to do this.

Cons:

A shame that new cafe owners had not chosen to open a cafe on the site yet. Fortunately it is a short walk to nearby cafes.

Overpriced and dirty

How can you demand personal data of guests just to make more money and please clean the rooms better
Pros:

Staff at Check In tried to be helpful.

Cons:

At check in, after the money had already been taken from my account, I was THEN advised that photo ID needed to be provided. I declined and was made acutely aware that it was company policy and I could not stay in the room I had already paid for if I did not submit. This placed me in a very awkward position and ruined our weekend, my wife ended up submitting her photo ID on our behalf. Very embarrassing. Our room was not unclean, but it certainly wasn't clean, with stains on the bedcover and dirt in the grout in the bathroom, we were less than impressed for the price, in fact, after dinner at Harrigan's, Pokolbin, we handed our key back and went home

Reasonable value for stay near to vineyards.
Pros:

Lovely setting with a nice pool. The staff were helpful. Several vineyards within a short drive.

Cons:

The restaurant is no longer operating so we had to drive to find food. The gardens were rather overgrown. The bathroom was dated and needs TLC. We had no water for several hours on our last day.

disappointing.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

We paid nearly $900 for a weekend to stay in a shoebox of a room which was incredibly dated and smelt. When booking, the photos were deceiving and what we were paying for was not accurately portrayed. It should be illegal to charge those prices for a room of that nature.
