About this house rental
The heritage-listed Vine Lodge is located on a large rural property in the picturesque village of Exeter. Our historic homestead is available for short term rental. Step back in time and stay in one of the original homes of the district. Enjoy a private getaway in the beautiful Southern Highlands with incomparable district views, gardens to stroll through and wood fires awaiting you.
The property is ideal for family groups, friends and bridal parties. It is styled with contemporary furnishings, and comfortably accommodates 14 people. You'll find quintessential Exeter and its renowned café at the end of our tree lined driveway.
Venture out into the local towns, wineries or national park to experience the best of the Southern Highlands.
Or just unwind. Forage in the vegetable garden, visit the alpacas, watch the horses or feed the chooks. In the warmer months, enjoy the heated pool.

SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
The Vine Lodge property is a heritage treasure and we treat it as such. Some sections of the building fabric are fragile. Your historic experience may be characterized by floorboards that creek, uneven sandstone paving, steps with non-standard rises, low door openings and flaking lime wash wall finishes.
Enjoy your country experience, away from screens. We have one television in the house.
We love parties and pets, but not at our place.
Most guests bring indoor shoes, pack your best slippers.
Please note that Long Weekends have a minimum stay of 3 nights and the summer period 23 December to 15 January has a minimum stay of 4 nights and will be charged at weekend rates.

We had such a lovely stay at Vine Lodge, thank you! The house is beautiful, both the heritage and renovated sections, and there is plenty of space for the kids to run around. Even on a rainy weekend we had a blast sitting by the fire and popping by the local winery. Could recommend more highly.

Had our daughters wedding Sommerly house and this was very convenient. Hostess beautiful, organised. Looks great in photos but they don’t do it justice. It’s was an amazing historical home that had been renovated and styled to perfection. Beautiful breezeway with its huge doors. Gardens and pool immaculate and large areas for seating inside and out. The large verandas were perfect and totally privatacy. Thank you for your beautiful house. Will be back.

The photos don’t do justice to how beautiful Vine Lodge and the surrounding grounds actually are. I’d rarely go back to the same place twice but I’m already considering booking again. Highly recommended!
