A wonderful mini break
Although only for one night, it was a delightful experience. The room was spotless and modern, the lodge was very welcoming with log fires and a lovely restaurant, and the staff were welcoming and friendly.

Property is very underwhelming in person, online looks spectacular however, our king bedroom was very small, no natural lighting and felt like we were in a shoe box, our room had cob webs and was poorly cleaned, the bathroom towel racks were not heated, the bathroom fan did not work and we had troubles with the air conditioning, the property is fine but overall our stay was nothing exciting, the hospitality was average and nothing out of the ordinary, we were hoping for more based on the reviews however both me and my partner would not recommend this place to anyone, save your money and put it towards something more exciting!

Such a peaceful beautiful property, the pool is lovely and there are kangaroos hopping around. We had a fantastic stay. The staff were all very attentive, however, the one thing I will say is that we visited some wineries and were told that we should have gotten a card from Spicers to show to receive complimentary tastings, but we never received one. I guess they forgot, that would have been nice. Definitely would stay here again.

Expectation Failure
Not so happy on this place as its not worth the money you pay and the “Title” and advertisement was extremely nice but the place need some renovations. The stuff is not that approachable, the bathroom sliding door is broken, the bed is not comfy and made my husband back in pain and the worse thing about it they set the sprinkle water to water the grass at 3am that wake us up as in front of our room and we didn’t go back to sleep. The buffet is very ordinary and so basic. My expectations was high as the ads and the price I paid I even choose deluxe room but its just a standard quality. Not coming back in this place again. Sorry

This is a wonderful place to stay for a few days- relaxing, nice food, with glorious views. If they did any renovations in the future, a gym would be great….

Excellent design of the buildings, with only one slight reservation- the size of the bathroom. Meals were first rate and the pool was delightful on a very hot day
