This was a great set up for multiple couples and groups. The 2 bed, 2 bathroom gave us enough space to all enjoy. The standout was the view over the vineyards and mountains. Loved sitting on the lawn soaking it all in.

Tamara Argentina

Location and privacy is incredible! Beautiful views out over Scarborough vineyard. Such a cute and self contained cottage, had everything we need! Little kitchen area (no oven) to cook, nice lounge area with a TV, outdoor table and chairs so you can have a platter looking out over the view. The freestanding bath tub was a luxe touch! Owners are really friendly :)

Sarah_gee Australia

Susie & Ken, the owners & hosts warmly welcomed us & happily ensured all our needs were met throughout our stay. We enjoyed the uniqueness & tranquility of staying amidst the picturesque vineyards in a cosy & well appointed cottage, of which the Surrounding gardens ensured our privacy.

  • Can you please tell me the cancellation policy. I can’t seem to find it.
    If you choose to book with Booking.Com you will be booking a Non-Refundable fare - ie the total tariff is taken upfront and cannot be cancelled. It can, however, be modified to a later date if suitable to both parties.

  • Hi. What's public transport like on a Friday night? Will we be able to get a taxi/uber in the area? Thanks.
    Both taxis and ubers are available in the Pokolbin area. There are also other shuttle services to choose from as well. We would suggest pre booking your transport if you have any restaurant bookings as Friday evenings are extremely busy.
