    This place is absolutely fantastic! We loved the place, the decor and interior, the view - and what a fantastic breakfast. So many beautiful details - in every room! We really had a wonderful time - and we hope to return one day! Truly one of the best places we have stayed, ever.

    All I admire in a well run, beautifully appointed property . This refurbished homestead has been updated to a very high standard. What I adore about Torburnlea is the interior decor. The attention to detail and the comfort for guests is unsurpassable. Its history along with that of the Hall family is fascinating. Stanford what a gentleman you are and an extremely good chef, thank you for the attention you paid to us. We will certainly be back.

    The farmhouse/Mansion was beautifully restored. The grounds are lovely with a beautiful view of the mountains. Stanford took care of our every need and he prepared a wonderful dinner. The owner Mr. Hill told us the history of his family and also produced a wonderful bottle of wine from the wine cellar.

    One point deduction for thin wall to room 5 which lets you hear what happens next door. These are the only 2 rooms on first floor, so booking both as a family would be perfect.

    Wonderful, antique-styled house with beautiful garden in closed and safe estate area. Owner & management very nice - thank you, Andrew & Stanford. We booked room 3 and asked if we could see other free rooms. No problem to change to room 6 for the regular difference between these two rooms. Room 6 on first floor was great and big. Separate seating lounge with great garden view. Comfortable bed. Bathroom separated by full wall from ground to ceiling. Non-buffet-breakfast and dinner which was no problem because rich and tasty.
