Lovely property in a great location -close to the centre but not too close! Ideal for wine tourism. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. Their movie library was a very welcome addition.

Our room was spacious and clean; staff were friendly and helpful and area quiet. Parking space was at the door. The bedroom in our unit is a loft with hanging space. We don’t have a dvd player as listed, and the kitchenette didn’t have a stove top but did have an electric hotplate and frying pan. We had a nice little outdoor area and overall was very happy with our stay.

The Claremont was better in person than the photos! You will love their peaceful grounds, short distance to town, and dog friendly rooms. We would absolutely stay here again. Be aware that the full kitchen does not come with oil or salt & pepper so bring some basics with you if you want to cook.

Comfortable bed clean - all good .... lighting on out side of units 13,14,15,16 .....could be adjusted as security light shines into unit 15 during the night and the variety of levels of path from the unit to the car park is a bit unclear in low evening light - but the design is good people just have to be mindful of their stepping ...

This is a gem of a place. We stayed in this small town because it was close to the Star Gazing experience and we loved the spacious suite. My only complaint is I am not a fan of the lighting. But other than that it was fabulous!

The check-in instructions were confusing and out of date - supposed contactless check-in with instructions left on the office door, but there was nothing on the door and check-in with staff at reception. Please update both the email instructions sent out prior, and the information in the room. The room information talked about daily room service, but then a few pages later was a Covid related update, saying this wouldn't be happening... which is it?! The one bedroom units were not fully booked, yet the other booking for the duration of my stay was placed in the room adjacent. The sound proofing wasn't great, and the tradies staying next door were loud from before 6am each morning until they left. When you have the spare units, it would be appreciated to have a spare unit in between guests to improve the quality of stay. No electric blanket on the single bed but there was a small portable heater and additional blankets. The unit was very clean and tidy, a nice small deck out the front, and views across the grass and trees. No street noise so it is a quiet place to stay, neighbours dependant.
