We enjoyed our stay The room and view were beautiful. We had great weather and sat under the verandah in the evening with many visiting kangaroos for company...was fantastic. I do wish we had known prior to check in that dining is no longer available on sight. But were able to find other dinner options close by.

The property was very quiet and comfortable set in natural surroundings. There were no staff available when we arrived (5:30pm) and no instructions on how to operate the bathroom heating and it was very cold. Also not enough staff at breakfast.

It was so nice to wake up to roos just outside the tent door. The bed was so comfortable. It was great that staff had put the air con on in the tent early for our arrival on a 40 degree day. The bathrooms were very clean and the shower was fantastic.

Balgownie Estate was a peaceful haven in the bush. We enjoyed the homestead set up with the communal areas. The views from our room exceeded expectations, although the downside to our room was that it adjoined the kitchen cupboards wall in the communal area, so everytime inconsiderate guests slammed drawers and cupboards (which was everytime someone used the kitchen) the bangs were very loud. The bush walk on the property was a bonus to staying here. It is a great shame the estate is sold and will no longer function as it does from May 1st 2025.

The propery is stunning with views across the vineyards and treed forests. It was a luxuriously relaxing stay beginning with a cuppa while watching the resident wildlife.The accommodation is excellent. Spacious rooms with modern country comfort. Restuarant served great food, coffee & wine. The local pub is also a great dinner option.
