Fabulous place for a small group
We were a small group of 4 couples, we loved the jacuzzi and the fire pit. There was plenty of firewood provided, the house was clean and well stocked. The location was great, 5mins drive to main centre. Heidi was easy to communicate with, the instructions were easy to follow. Beautiful place and would definitely stay again!

A really nice place to stay even in the rain. Lovely property with great views. Linda responsive and helpful. We booked for four adults so it was a little bit strange to find two of the bedrooms were locked off during our stay

Tranquil with Gorgeous Landscapes
The property was just exquisite with all the amenities as advertised on the Stayz website. Heidi was just absolutely wonderful and made a conscious effort in communicating to see if we had any concerns. Would highly recommend this beautiful farm house, complete with the outdoor jaccuzi which was utilized after a day of wine tasting. Thank you Heidi for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home! We will definately stay again.

Birthday weekend
From start to finish our weekend was amazing, the house was clean and cosy and smelt delicious when we arrived, Heidi had left us some birthday treats and made us feel very welcome. The spa is great and the outside bbq area too with great views and beautiful sunsets. The house is beautifully furnished and very comfortable, we would definitely come back! Thanks Heidi!

Horrible customer service , accused us of stealing and rocked up to the property without notice
We rented out this property to enjoy a little getaway before I gave birth, but we very very disappointed with Heidi’s service. I called her and emailed her prior booking to ask about having 2 infants with us but she never responded. Thought it was fine considering they are both under the age of 2 (usually kids under 2 are free of charge) Then she rocks up to the property without notice and accuses us of stealing because of the infants. She also got really bothered that we drove on her lawn, mind you it was freezing cold and a very windy weekend and all we wanted to do is drive up close to the entrance door and put our luggage in the car quickly. And she also charged us an additional fees for using an extra towel. Who would do that?! Honestly disappointed felt like after everything that happened my money went to waste and I’ve been ripped off. Don’t recommend renting out this property for Heidi at all. She’s really picky and renting out a property from her is just a headache.
