We saved the pool area from flooding after a hose had been left on overnight. We were able to use facilities though. It would be good to have a big walking track to take instead of using the gym.

Expected better for the price
For the price we paid for one night, I expected a little more in the way of comfort. The hot water continued to go cold then very hot. Stairs down to our room were slippery - I slipped twice. The in room lighting was poor. The complementary wine tasting was Ok but the gentleman running it was rude at times when asked a simple question - I confirmed the name of the wine we were tasting and the tone I received was very poor. Can’t say I will be back to this venue which is disappointing as this was a return stay.

Loved the accommodation, view from the balcony & the wine. Thought the food at the restaurant could be improved. choices were very limited for a large restaurant & the steak was tough to cut & eat. Overall, 4 out of 5 score.

I ran into car trouble on my way to Balgownie, which meant I was left stranded without a car to get home to Heathcote. The staff were so accommodating and kept my room open in case I needed to stay another night, which I did. Given my stressful circumstances, everyone at the property was just lovely and made it easy for me to work, relax and sort out my car troubles.
