"Lovely apartments very close to town and everything you need but still peaceful. Loved the balcony with fly screens! TV is huge and works from the sofa or bed. The only things that could be improved are providing salt and pepper, more than two mugs and turning off the automatic light in the bathroom (it's just too bright if you need the loo in the night). "

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the Pay Office cottage and had a wonderful time. The kitchen was generously stocked so we had what we needed to start our days well. The complimentary wine let us finish the day just as well. The location was very convenient for exploring the surrounding wineries. We would definitely stay again. The only thing to be aware of is that there is no wi-fi available and cell phone coverage is spotty."

Bungaree Station

Bungaree Station

10/10 Excellent
"Stay here! A unique, completely comfortable and enjoyable stay. Bungaree Station is a still-functioning sheep farm, founded in 1841 and still run by descendants of the founders. By the 1850s and 1860s, the flourishing farm was something of a town, with housing for workers and managers, a store, church, community buildings, etc. Many of those original buildings are now converted into boutique and highly unique accommodations. I stayed in a former stable, now a lovely free standing little cottage with a modern bathroom, dependent on rainwater, adjoined to the historical building. It was quiet, comfortable and lots of fun. Even the Wifi worked great! They fill your refrigerator with the ingrediants for breakfast. For other meals, you can buy onsite provisions for barbeques or drive into town. Notably, the property also functions as an interesting and very well curated museum, which as an overnight guest, you can wander around and visit at your leisure, including the beautiful, historic church accessed by a code on a lock box. The whole experience was super fun. The flocks of birds were amazing, and I only wished I could have stayed longer. Highly recommended and very memorable. "
