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.

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

This was a very special stay. The property felt new and clean and rooms were good size. We really enjoyed our Valentines dinner at Eremo's and the breakfasts each morning were delicious. Our morning view always included kangaroos which made it extra special. We booked the Spa at their sister resort and it was excellent.
Great location in the wine country and we enjoyed three different wineries during our three night stay.

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.

Great room - very clean, spacious and comfy! The only downside is that there’s no lift access to our room and we had to carry our luggages up and down the stairs…
