A fantastic place to wind down and enjoy the region. Beautiful views and a fabulous property.
Pros:

Lovely views from all rooms and the pool was great to escape the heat. We were upgraded (thank you Ian!), so we had a full kitchen which definitely made our stay even more pleasant as the location is fairly remote and really needed to drive anywhere to eat out. We loved eating breakfast on the deck in the morning and then coming back to watch the sun go down with wine & nibblies in the evening. Air conditioning in every room was awesome and definitely needed for a hot February stay.

Cons:

Beds were a little firm for our liking but that's a very personal thing. Would have been nice if the AC had been turned on when we arrived as it was a very hot day.

Pros:

Perfect location for what we needed and room as described. The communal kitchen/entertaining area was very good.

Cons:

No shower screen, so bathroom gets very wet. Unfortunately the people in the room next door had very 2 very loud kids, with the whole family staying in one only king room, so we did not have a very peaceful stay.

Pros:

We had a fabulous weekend with our beautiful Airedale. The location is amazing, with views over a lake to the mountains. We loved the airy room, with polished floor and lovely bathroom. So quiet, but handy to wineries and the freeway. Our weekend at tonic was a real tonic away from the city!
