6/10 Good
24 Nov 2024
Unfortunately not worth the splurge
The pros:
- Room, bed, bath, shower, firepit & patio, all 10/10. We loved sitting outside with the firepit, the waitstaff in the evening were fantastic, and had one of the best massages of my life in the comfort of my room. What they get right they really get right!!
The cons: We were given an incorrect menu 4 times during our short 3-night stay, so meant we weren’t able to order *any* cocktails or most of the food on the menu that we’d selected, multiple times. This includes even a menu I was handed *in* the restaurant and was then told was out of date… and the service was awful at times. It was often impossible to find waitstaff during the day, they didn’t monitor their WhatsApp particularly well, and we found communication with the front desk really poor - we tried booking tastings & meals and never received info, even after asking repeatedly - and the laundry service ruined some very expensive clothing by ignoring the care labels.
Finally, they charge an insane amount for own-label wines - almost 50% more than at the winery itself. It’s a lovely property but at the price they are charging they should be impeccable and it felt very much like we were “soft launch” guests. It’s a lovely property but unfortunately would not recommend - the flaws were so great that it couldn’t justify the cost. They are clearly are targeting a premium market but need serious work before demanding the price they are.
