Situated very close to the wineries. Lovely unit - we stayed in the winter - went to the pub for dinner - we were able to get back to our unit put the air conditioner on and have a “toasty” room in no time. Parking out the front of unit so an easy dash if it was raining which is was when we stayed. Nicely appointed unit.
