Oakdene Vineyards Guesthouse

Luckily, the staff from cellar door and bistro, made our experience appreciated (special thanks to Sally from cellar door).

Terrible experience. Starting from our arrival, where you see no signs for the guest house or how to check in. We had to ask at the bistro, where someone took us to meet the accommodation manager (I think her name is Robin). She was instantly very rude, didn't welcome us at all, and straight telling me that my payment didn't go through the platform, before i even had a chance to walk in the door of the office. I've stayed in many places in my life and never had such a bad experience on arrival. Besides everything, it was my girlfriend's birthday, which robin knew, and not even a happy birthday she said or offering if i needed help with anything. After the payment she just took us to the room. the room was too intense in colour, didn't feel right for a supposedly restful place. Also the room didn't fit the vibes from the cellar door and outdoors area (which has this cool garden with metal objects and sculptures, by the vineyard). The bed was also quite small and uncomfortable, I'm only 1.8m and my foot was pressed by the bed structure. The price is ridiculously expensive for what you get, as accommodation was nothing near what I read in some reviews (not having any treats in the room and no breakfast included). It was a really disappointing experience for both of us and we would never recommend this place to anyone.

Service was great, bed was comfy.

Really didn’t like the glass door to the toilet that you could see from the bed, was pretty awkward. Also didn’t like that the restaurant finished food service at 9 so we couldn’t get anything to eat when we got back from our function. It also would’ve been nice to know in advance that there was a party at the winery until late with really loud music. Was very expensive for what it was too.

Lovely setting with beautiful old shade trees. Staff were friendly and our evening meal was very good as was the service.

Unfortunately our mattress was lumpy, uncomfortable and had a foul odour.
