The owner, is lovely, the house old but quaint. We had plumbing problems on the first night but moved rooms to a lovely room for the second night. Yummie breakfast.

We loved our stay at Carriages. It's a small place and so you get a very personal service from the owners. They are very knowledgable, but mostly they make you feel incredibly welcome and at home. The cottage we stayed in was clean and bright and we has our own little terrace to sip some their fantastic wine (and very reasoinably priced too). I would recommend this place really highly.

Beautiful property, nicely set out with awesome view of the vines, superb sunset, only the spa bath “out of order” and the floor in the lounge room/kitchen visibly dirty with foot prints
Loved the wine and olive tastings also
