Really enjoyed my stay, I stayed on my own and felt safe. The only downsides were 1- the cleanliness in the bathroom on the windowsill and cobwebs on the door and 2- the aircon heating wouldn’t turn off when the ‘off’ button pressed. From a country that doesn’t really use it! So it could have been me, but I asked my Aussie friends and they couldn’t understand it not turning off either…. Had a very hot night as that kept pumping out heat… if those two could be sorted, or someone was around to have been able to ask at night (not an emergency so didn’t call their number!), I’d definitely stay again. It’s great having a winery opposite too! Lovely friendly reception staff and comfortable pillows and bedding.

Check in was easy and pleasant. The one thing I really wanted was for the King size bed to be split into two singles. I confirmed with reception two days prior and was told it would be done and it wasn't done. It was lucky that it was my daughter that I was sharing the bed with. Otherwise the bed was comfortable and all was very clean and comfortable.

The room was comfortable however a little dated. It did need some maintenance. Basically had to drive to anything as the road was dangerous to walk on.

Great location. Clean and comfortable room. Would stay there again. The only downside was sharing the patio with neighbours. There was no outdoor
privacy screen between our villas so could see and hear them sitting there on the outdoor furniture in the morning working, coughing etc. would be even worse if you had inconsiderate neighbours who might stay out there late into the evening.

Short 3 night stay.
Our appartment had been recently refurbished and it was wonderful including electric fire place in lounge room and also inverter air conditioners in both lounge and bedroom. Views of vines from our patio were beautiful. All in all just a great place to stay in Pokolbin and would stay there again if in Pokolbin without looking at other properties. Also guest laundry was very helpful.
