Fodor's Expert Review Vineyard Cottages and Café

Built around a turn-of-the-20th-century church that's now the Vineyard Café and restaurant, this popular property boasts seven period-style cottages set amid 2 acres of manicured gardens, only two blocks from Ballandean village. The cottages are furnished with colonial antique furniture, comfortable sofas, and vases brimming with roses from the gardens, and the guests' lounge has a cozy open fireplace, bar, library, and games, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a glass or two of local wine. The property's doting hosts go above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, while the on-site restaurant tempts your taste buds with the best of the region's abundant fresh produce.
