Pirralilla Estate

"Excellent accommodation and Esme is the perfect host."

"Highly recommend for a peaceful escape. My partner and I booked the gardeners cottage for two nights and despite it being so cold outside, Esme made sure the heat was pumping inside (including electric blankets!) so cosy! The space is much bigger than you think, great decor, superbly clean/setup and a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is also included and potentially our trips highlight - Esme had made homemade scones for my partner and got me gluten free bread!! Around the cottage there are plenty of trails for running or hiking, close to vineyards and close to FRED eatery for a delicious brunch."

"We had a booking to stay with the estate, unfortunately my husband tested positive for Covid on the day. Its disappointing that the accommodation weren't willing to be flexible to reschedule us given how expensive the stay is. I understand it was short notice, but given the pandemic we are in, I would have thought they would be more flexible, otherwise who would want to be spending this much money only for it to wasted? Unlikely to get tourism this way. I am not sure if we will book with this place again."

"The caretakers cottage is a beautiful place to stay. We loved looking out at the forest while laying in bed of a morning. The place is well done up and modern inside and decorated beautifully. We loved the bonus touches they have provided, such as scones on arrival, bathrobes and slippers, and marshmallows so we could toast them in the bonfire. We really enjoyed our stay in such a gorgeous location."

"We really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and comfortable accommodation. Esme had thought of everything even electric blankets and efficient air-conditioning. Scones with cream and jam were a real treat on our arrival."
