Pros:

We always enjoy staying at Parehua, but this time was just fabulous since we got a lakeside cottage :). Lovely staff and beautiful rooms. We didn’t use the restaurant, but can also recommend dining there. We’ll be back!

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

We were welcomed in a very friendly manner. Accommodation was superb and quite luxurious with our own private spa. We took our bikes and had easy bike rides around the vineyards and village. Weather great. All in all a great 2 days away

Cons:

If I have to be picky, I didn't really like the mere choices for evening meal. Saying that. We ate and were satisfied.
