Somerville Wines Cottage

The home was nice although the rooms slightly smaller than expected. It was quite rustic without some conveniences. Wifi is listed as an amenity however the connection is extremely unstable and unpredictable which meant we were not able to be contacted the entire time we were at the property. If we had known this in advance we would have been able to remedy the situation. The property management group only communicated this and other terms and conditions on the day of the stay. We found this to be too late and it would have been nice to know this information prior to booking and paying. The location of the property was perfect for the wedding we attended and the outlook from the property was lovely.

Property was not ready at 3 pm despite the fact we were told that it was ready at 12 pm. There were no beds made and laundry from the last visitor was on the ground. The kitchen had not been tidied. It was unfit to live in so they had to get us alternative accommodation. My recommendation is to go elsewhere as management of this property is disgraceful.

Our stay was comfortable. The location was tranquil, set on a winery, with beautiful views of the ranges. Lounge with fireplace cozy and kitchen great. Beds were comfortable. As others have mentioned yes due to the location phone coverage/wifi is bad. The downside and why a 3 star is the bathrooms were not clean. Also the firewood was enough for just 1 night so had to buy more for our second night. And yes need to bring your own matches to light the fire. A suggestion to the owners would be to allow enough firewood to service the number of nights per booking.

We loved it! Such a cute place to stay, open fire and we loved the whole experience!! Would definitely stay again!
