We loved our 4 day stay at the Winemakers Cottage, and could have stayed longer. Morning visits by Coco the dog were welcome. Afternoon sunsets with a drink on the lower deck made a great end to a day. The location is central to the island attractions, however without a car getting around would have meant a lot more planning to catch the bus.
Great host. Place had lovely views and was nice and clean. Would stay again.
Magnificently appointed cottage with a view to die for. We enjoyed evening drinks overlooking the vineyard and bay. The compact kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. Location was great to sightsee the whole island. We would return!!
We have enjoyed the beautiful place and awesome scenery. And we enjoyed the generous gift which was a beautiful bottle of wine. We wish we could visit again in the future. Many thanks
It was a girls weekend to relax and reconnect and the Winemakers Cottage was perfect in every way....we did have a car which made things very accessible and we covered the whole island. The cottage was 15-20mins drive from the ferry port. The bus would have been fine around 40-50 mins if we had more time but there were so many great places on the Island that we wanted to visit from beaches, walks, wineries and even a gin distillery... My girlfriends who live in NZ will definitely be back and I hope I can bring my family from Oz over! Thank you once again!
Fantastic air bnb. Bigger than what it looked like in the photos - spacious bedrooms and a great sized bathroom. Beautiful view and very peaceful. we had a lovely time and will be back during Vinyard season. The kids loved smelling the lavender along the driveway and watching all the bees. Thanks for having us!
Nicely made up, perfect for three friends or a couple and two kids. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice surprise and the views are stunning. Would definitely stay again!
Standard of accommodation and location exceeded expectations. Great aspect and views.
Nice retreat with view on vines and bay. Very friendly host. Is in reality bigger than it appears on photos.
Picture perfect, and had everything we needed. Beautiful furnishings, gorgeous views. Warm, inviting and cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer.
