Gorgeous vineyard stay
Pros:

An absolutely outstanding property! The rooms were huge and immaculate, with direct access on to a veranda and swimming pool for guests. We booked the wine tasting at the cellar door and it was such an amazing experience. The staff were so attentive and you could purchase a design your own cheeseboard to go with the wines at a ridiculously cheap price.

Cons:

Nothing - it was fabulous - but it would have been useful to know when booking that you could walk to town to access shops, restaurants and more cellar doors along a lovely walking trail that only took about 10 minutes. This would have helped us to plan our stay to be even better!

Their pricing and advertising would suggest a higher class experience than what you get.
Pros:

Not a lot to like, was obviously set up to cater for conferences ect not individual bookings

Cons:

Very average for the price point.

Serafino, a great place to become well again
Pros:

Excellent staff service, including complementary wine tasting for 2 as part of accomodation. As a couple we had stayed here 2023 and the facilities, views, birds antics and sunset were all just a good this time.

Cons:

Unfortunately both husband& wife contracted illness from another establishment (food poisoning?) just prior to staying at Serafino so our booked dinner at the Serafino restaurant meant our 2 friends (also guests) had a romantic couples dinner!! The Serafino Chef & waiting staff were very understanding and helpful, and we were thankful we had 3 days to recover at our Serafino apartment.
