Quiet

Lovely property, quiet, very comfortable beds. Friendly animals in surrounding paddocks keen to say hello. Very relaxing. 2 TVs and 2 lounge areas is a great idea, no argument over what to watch in the evening

RNR

Lovely little property with a lovely garden. Bit steep for my 87yr old Mum to wander. Very comfortable and a great place to just unwind, relax or finish that pair of socks you are knitting. Great area if you want to check out the wineries or go for some lovely drives.

Would've given that extra star but the lawn mower man arrived at the same time on the first day as I did and worked for 1½hrs. And on the last day the gardener was there for two hrs before my check out. Would've preferred the place to myself for some quiet time. But other than that I feel in love with the place. It is so pretty, and the gardener and lawn mower men did a good job

So happy to be back here!

We were so happy to be back after 7 years! It felt as if we were back home! My favourite part of the house is of course the fully-equipped kitchen; a motivation to cook healthy food for the family although we were on vacation. The simple Christmas decor added to the festive spirit. It was definitely awesome to wake up to see the cute alpacas and sheep out in the field having their breakfast haha. We miss those darlings! (We are still trying to figure out which one is Stewart and which is Dumpling haha!) Heysen Hideaway is at the countryside but yet close to the city. Peaceful. Very calming. Perfect place for our special needs son too. Thank you so much for sharing the home with us. Will be back, hopefully not too long :) Nasyita, Brian and Idrees :)

I think small dogs would slip through the fence. I could not find the switch for the outdoor lights on the back porch

Perfect Holiday Place

A very peaceful, clean, and cozy place to stay with such a beautiful garden. Love waking up with the sounds of a crowing rooster and chirping birds. Stunning sunrise. We cooked a yummy breakfast from the bread, egg, bacon, and mushroom that is provided. Perfect place to have some rest. Thanks you.

My Daughters Wedding

The Heysen Hideaway was very well presented. Very tidy and clean. There was plenty of bedding to suite our requirements. Rooms were of good size. Separate toilet to the bathroom is a big plus. Wood fire was a big hit as it was cold. Childs toys on site were well enjoyed by grandson. Only one minor issue was traffic noise using the road as a racetrack into the early hours of the morning.
