Outstanding accommodations for the price point will definitely be staying here again, the one and only down fall was the twin single beds joined to make one large bed, outside of this small drawback I could not fault our stay here!

A beautiful setting and a very relaxed environment. The dinner was very nice and sitting with other guests provided an enjoyable night of sharing travel stories. The rooms were clean and comfortable and as we had sunny weather we enjoyed being outside sitting near the creek running through the property.

Well maintained historic site is both relaxing and interesting on its merits. Meals allow for some extrovert time, otherwise a very private spot.There were a couple of hiccups around dining, but they were one offs.

I felt I was part of the family! Our whole stay was amazing. Greg certainly has a passion for the family property and I loved listening to him reading from the farm chronicles. Dinner was fantastic and our stay in “the bakery” was extremely comfortable.

Colonial farm stay - with 18 hole golf course
Awesome old (very old - colonial) stay. Modern and clean bathroom. Space was great. Beds are firm. Dinner was excellent, we had the place to ourselves, and we’re made to feel very welcome - dinner was a cheese platter, choice of main meal with home cooked potato bake, honeyed carrots and beans, followed by an individual apple crumble (which was exactly as my Nanna used to make). Great value good food. Perfect place to host a wedding or other special occasion. We explored Bothwell, Oatlands & Kempton within 30-40 minutes of the area, a couple of worthwhile distilleries and antique shops in these towns. We didn’t get to the golf course, but plan to next time. A great experience.

Interesting place. A lot of history. Enjoyed the mixed dining setting and getting to know some of the other guests. The owner manager is a bit of a strange one. He offered us 2 glasses of port when we were sitting around the fire after the other dinner guests left and then billed us for them upon leaving. I was dumbstruck.
