The Gardens
Set against a back-drop of soaring Californian Redwoods and Himalayan Cedars, the gardens have featured in Australia's Open Garden Scheme and hosted charity events for the Victorian State Opera.
Guests can enjoy the majestic grounds at their leisure including fishing in the lake, picnics in the rotunda, strolls through the walled gardens and citrus grove, reading by the creek and for the enthusiast, abundant bird life.
Alternatively, explore one of the many local attractions ideally situated to the property, including the Valley's best wineries and restaurants.
Other things to note
Breakfast provisions are provided for the first morning of your stay.
There is a minimum three night stay on long weekends and four nights at Easter and Christmas.
Pets are welcomed outside by permission from your host.

We booked a dog friendly get away to be asked by the owner to please keep our dogs in a small section of the property (kitchen). They provided a barrier to the other ares, but they were easily knocked over by the dogs ( mini pinschers) so it was very stressful trying to keep them out. There as no outdoor fencing so the dogs could not access outside easily.
The cottage had no keys for locking. The owner could access any time they pleased. The electricity kept shorting out so the heating would go off and it was very cold for the dogs.
The cottage was clean, but it does need some updating and we felt it was oversold for what it was. The bed was comfy.
We decided not to stay for the last night as it was just too cold. The heaters they did have were dinky and inadequate. We decided to just go home.
I would not book this place again.
