This was our first stay here in the 2 bedroom self contained cottage. Both Danielle and Declan are amazing hosts. The accommodation was child friendly and allowed us to relax with our 18 month old daughter. Beautiful location with stunning views. In particular overlooking the dam and vineyards from the back deck often with Kangaroos in full sight. Our daughter loved the chickens, ducks and pool. This place is a hidden gem! Wines are also amazing and we will certainly be back

Location, location, location!!! The cottage was not only located in a perfect position to be close to everything – it was super close to the wedding that we were attending at Ironbark Hill. The pillows were super comfy. The owners, Danielle and Declan were extremely welcoming – Danielle even called a day before to explain how to get there and say hi! #customerservice The breakfast provided was just a cherry on top! It was beautiful being able to have breakfast, looking out into the rows and rows of vines! Thank you McCaffrey’s!

Im hesitant to give a good review. We want to keep this place a secret for just us! Such a great stay. The place is amazing and we loved it. It is so homely and cosy. The grounds are fantastic for a walk. The pool is awesome. Our kids loved it. Danielle was polite, efficient and a super host. The little touches of bacon, fresh farm eggs, bread and milk and cereal selection were so generous and unexpected. The location is also a major major plus. Right amongst the action of Hermitage rd. Many vineyards within walking distance. You won’t be disappointed.
