Villa's in New England

'Overall a nice stay. Good location. Beware it is party central especially the night before weddings. Asked for one king to be twin beds, this was fulfilled but twins were nowhere near as plush and comfortable as the main king. No Nespreso pods, limited range of tea, coffee, hot drink options. Bathroom tapware came off in my hand when showering, but I'm sure they will fix this for the next guests. Little underwhelming for the price.'

'Very disappointing stay for my birthday. It should be noted that the Villa is located on the side of a hill and access is via stairs and steep pathways and it is a fair walk to the property particularly when having to make a few trips with luggage. The property did not appear to be well maintained as the dishwasher didn't work at all and was growing mould inside of it, all of the air conditioners appeared old, one of which was leaking water and held together with sticky tape, cleanliness was not...

'My wife and I took a long weekend break and stayed in the Shawood Bottling Room. It was a wonderful stay. Nice high ceilings, good kitchen, parking, etc. Everything we were hoping for.

Mind you, we did shop ourselves at the various cellar doors. A great space and location to get away from it all.'

'Accurate information is given online.Communication with management was excellent.The only small issue is a that there were a lot of stairs from the parking to the house. That can be a problem for older people.'

'The place is in a fantastic location and close to all the places we were interested in visiting. The unit had ample space, was thoughtfully decorated and the hosts left some everyday household things to be used by guests I suppose, otherwise it would be stored under lock and key. The place was spacious and clean. I appreciated the “no key entry” which meant my family could come and go without the need to constantly check who has the key to lock and unlock. Appreciated! So why not five stars?...

'Villa Sangiovese was great - the hosts at Weekenda were super friendly and helpful. The villa clean and tidy and we loved staying here. Very excited to make our next trip back to the Hunter Valley and this villa!'
