Enjoyable stay in modern room
We enjoyed one night in a Queen Room in the homestead The room was refurbished, modern and clean with good amenities. There is a modern, well equipped communal kitchen and lounge area for the guests in the 9 rooms. The homestead is a short walk away from the main building.

The receptionist was lovely. The wine tasting was generous but we did feel like we were being rushed. The dinner onsite was delicious. I would come again.

Great accomodation, very smart and modern with beautiful views. The only issues were the bed was very hard and this is a preference I know but it was so hard it was like sleeping on the ground. Staff were great friendly and helpful but we dined in the restaurant at night and they were booked out. The staff did a great job but they were so busy no one asked us if we wanted more drinks and so we only had one drink. They also seemed to forget our dessert and we waited for ages to be served. But they are minor issues the venue is beautiful.

The view over the vineyards was idyllic. The dining and wine was excellent and everyone their made an effort to make our short stay memorable. The only suggestion I could make is to remove the pillar in the window at Reception so Sonia has a better view of the vineyards and glamping guests can see the path to their accomodation.

Whilst my stay was wonderful, it was disappointing to arrive at Checkin time for 2pm to find out the kitchen was closed and could not get any food with our wine. We yet had wine tasting to do at 4.30pm with still no food and waited to eat for our dinner sitting for 6.30pm. Perhaps the kitchen could prove some options during the afternoon for guest to enjoy a cheese board or something.

Surprise stay
We had an amazing stay! It was quite a surprise to drive up the road to see such a beautiful place. The room was comfortable and very quiet. Having dinner and breakfast on the deck overlooking the vineyard was special.

4/10 Fair

On a busy weekend, we were limited for accommodation options, and overlooked it had a shared bathroom - we thought we'd paid extra for own bathroom. Sharing the facility with a family that didn't use the bathmat (to be fair, Balgownie only supply one bathmat per facility) and clearly didn't close shower door while using resulted in water everywhere. Said family had baby that cried almost until curfew, only to be replaced by noise from the party tent behind that continued until after 1 am. Bed was just like camping on an old style blow up mattress - hard to stay out of sag in the middle. For some reason the very rustic side table had a screw dangerously protruding through the top. Oh, and breakfast. Uncooked eggs, untoasted bread, just inedible. We headed back to Bendigo to eat. I don't know what employment conditions are like, but certainly the staff we encountered did not look or sound happy.

2/10 Poor

1. Safari Tent that i reserved were right at the end of all the accommodation, and the path there is rocky and full of rough surface. I was worried the wheels of my luggage would give way. (if you have expensive luggage don't bother staying here.) 2. The staff did not offer us the buggy service even though they knew the safari tent is a distance away. And they happily drove past us without offering help when we were struggling to drag our luggage through the rocky path. 3. When I tried to arrange the buggy service with the front desk, I was turned away and told to call back on the morning I check out for availability. You can't pre arrange the buggy service earlier. 4. There were 2 blackout in the middle of the night and 1 the very next morning. It was very cold and we had a child with us, having your warmer switched off right when you need it the most is no joke.
