It is surrounded by Vineyards and lush green forest areas with beautiful views across the valley. There is approx 4 KMs of stretch of unsealed road but no problem for a normal car. There are gravel roads around the property and can be explored just by walking or on bike, Mud-bikes or car.

The farmhouse provides all basic amenities and it is a perfect spot to getaway from busy life and embrace the peaceful nature to relax and rejuvenate with family and friends. It comfortably accommodates up to 8 adults. Kindly refer the house plan in the photos to get an idea of the floor plan. It features:

How to enjoy the Farmhouse experience:

• The best way to enjoy the stay is being out in the farm. You could spend all day inhaling the fresh air, listening to the singing of various birds and watching the captivating views around as the day passes by.
• It’s worth watching various shades of Sunlight especially during the Sunrise and Sunset. The Sunlight and cloud formations are just a treat to watch.

Guest access

Guest has complete access to the farmhouse and on-site free parking for multiple vehicles. The farmhouse is wheelchair friendly as well. Other things to note:

• There is 4 KMs of unsealed gravel road to reach to the property but no problem for a normal car. However do check or download Google Maps in advance for the directions.

• We’re a working Vineyard. We try to get the work done in the vineyard when usually guests are not around but in some unavoidable circumstances (time sensitive work) you may see some people working there, however that won't affect your stay in the house. Kindly do not enter the vineyard or touch the vines while you are at the farm.

Peace, Privacy & Serenity - Couples or the whole Family!
As a retired couple looking for a short mid-week stay surrounded by nature, this property was ideal and offered a budget-friendly option for us. We enjoyed our short stay (3 nights) and we had everything we needed. The surrounding natural bushland and wildlife was beautiful and abundant. This property is suitable for children but they would need to be supervised at all times as there is an open dam (down a very steep dirt track) and vast wooded forrests opposite a lovely vineyard. On that note though, the huge undercover back carport/deck area is big enough for riding bikes, throwing a ball, a game of cricket etc. Providing shelter from the rain and sun, we loved this area and spent quite a lot of time there during the day and early evening. This farmhouse is culturally traditional in its styling so if you are expecting 5 star luxury with modern furniture and state-of-the-art decor, this is not for you. Having said that, it's very warm and comfortable, great quality bedding and super comfy bed in the primary bedroom, big family kitchen - an easy living family home. Local shops not close so make sure you take everything with you that you will need for your stay. As the crow flies, yes, 7-8kms realistic, but roads leading to property unmade and driveway leading to the farmhouse is quite treacherous in the wet (which is what we encountered). A four wheel drive or similar is recommended. Pot belly stove in the kitchen works, but filled the living room and kitchen with smoke, so we didn't use it. There is a split system in both the lounge and the primary bedroom, so still warm. No doors on second bedroom and third bedroom so they're open. Closing door on primary bedroom only. Depending on what you're looking for, there are some great positives in this vineyard/farmhouse property.

Really lovely spot and a nice house to spend time in. Pot belly stove was not useable during our stay as it had water in it. However we were there during ridiculously bad weather. We lost power with high wind but the hosts were very proactive contacting us and would have come over to start the generator if needed. Grocery extras are a kind addition.

Stay to rejuvenate
We stayed for a week at the lovely "KiNam Vinea", including our one year old dog. Loved the peace, bush walks and just walking around the property. Well positioned as well. There are plenty of nearby (20-30 drive) places to enjoy a nice lunch and activities as well.
